Designing an On-Call Rotation That Works
Most on-call rotations burn out the engineers who are best at incident response, because the rotation punishes competence. Here is how to design one that doesn't.
Observability for AI Agents in Production
Standard APM tells you a request was slow. It doesn't tell you why an agent picked one tool over another. Here is what to log, trace, and alert on instead.
Defence in Depth for AI Agents
A 5-layer kill switch architecture for production AI agents: application logic, tool execution, action policy, circuit breaker, and a manual switch.
AI Agent Safety: The Substrate Pattern
Dipankar Sarkar explains the Substrate Pattern for AI agent safety: building execution envelopes that constrain LLM-powered systems while preserving capability.
Invariants in AI-Generated Code
Dipankar Sarkar explains why unwritten invariants are the primary source of AI-generated defects, and how to make implicit constraints explicit in production code.
Production-Ready AI-Assisted Development
Dipankar Sarkar explains how to use AI code generation in production systems: the Vibes Inside Guardrails framework for AI productivity with reliability.
