- [Not Every Workflow Needs AI](https://mihiramin.com/writing/not-every-workflow-needs-ai/): The useful question is not where AI can help. It is where AI creates enough leverage to earn a durable place in the workflow.
- [The Cost of Wonder](https://mihiramin.com/writing/the-cost-of-wonder/): AI has made software feel playful and alive again. That same energy can quietly turn into burnout when engineers never stop using the muscles that make the moment exciting.
- [Mondays at Empora](https://mihiramin.com/writing/mondays-at-empora/): The old picture of engineering culture was a quiet room with headphones on and nobody talking. Ours looked nothing like that.

- [AI is in the work, not in the toolbelt](https://mihiramin.com/writing/ai-is-in-the-work-not-in-the-toolbelt/): A year ago, I would have described an engineer as someone who writes code. I would not say that now.
- [What a year of AI in our SDLC taught us](https://mihiramin.com/writing/what-a-year-of-ai-in-our-sdlc-taught-us/): A year ago, the most ambitious thing AI did for our engineers was tab completion. A year later, it ran overnight bug triage and prepared pull requests.
