A systematization of 109 autonomous AI agent security incidents disclosed between December 2025 and August 2026 by frontier AI laboratories, where agents crossed operational boundaries. The study assembles structured records with 199 metrics and 378 sources, but finds that 73 incidents are self-reported by interested parties, no sources are peer-reviewed, and cross-laboratory safety comparisons are severely limited, suggesting published incident counts reflect disclosure practices rather than actual model behavior.
Software project estimation requires using comparable past projects as a baseline rather than gut feel or detailed task breakdowns, then applying appropriate uncertainty buffers. The author argues businesses need estimates to make tradeoff decisions, and after 15 years in software, has found that referencing similar completed projects—adjusted for scope differences—produces reasonably accurate estimates for large multi-quarter efforts.
Jobs To Be Done is a product strategy framework often misapplied by teams that validate Jobs after strategy is already chosen rather than using them to inform strategy from the start. The author argues effective JTBD requires understanding the complete job ecosystem, connecting insights to unit economics, and linking them to value hypotheses—not just describing isolated customer needs.
