"Why is it the things you want in life are there only for an instant?" -- Burt Lancaster as Starbuck in Rainmaker #movies #quotes

"The forest will always be larger than any beam of light we bring into it.” Good API design is less about exposing everything and more about helping people navigate to their chosen location. See the full article here: mamund.substack.com/p/the-flas

“This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire, but it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely lights and wires in a box.” -- Edward R. Murrow, 1958 #history #future #AI

Language does not lead to intelligence; intelligence leads to language. Animals plan, adapt, and solve problems without words, and human infants do the same long before speech appears. We should not expect AGI to emerge from language, but from intelligence that can use language. #agi #genAI

After a great week at #FOST and #apidays Paris I am boarding my first flight of my Atlantic trek home to KY.

At Cincinnati airport to start my #apiDays Paris adventure (CVG-DTW-CDH). Typical weather delays at Detroit but still optimistic for my chances to arrive on time in Paris without too much drama. #mcaTravels #api360

Hey I'm gonna be in Paris all of next week if anyone is there and wants to talk digital ecosystems with me?!

Heading home after a great experience at #apiConf #Clearwater FL this week. Hope to return next year. #mcaTravels

The Majority AI View - Anil Dash b.mamund.com/3KXp1fp "Technologies like LLMs have utility, but the absurd way they've been over-hyped ... and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

My O’Reilly Live Course AI-Driven API Design returns Nov 11. The last one sold out fast. We’ll build APIs with AI as a creative partner — using small, focused “AI coaches” to turn stories into specs, docs, and prototypes. Join me live :https://b.mamund.com/47iCrv4 #APIDesin #LLM #OReillyLive

nailed it

I've been working with LLMs to create a set of topic-specific "API Coaches". They're not "teachers" as they ss they 'prompt' the user through a series of questions and recommendations. i'd love to hear from others who are doing similar things #LLM #genAI #API360

In 1637, tulip bulbs sold for more than canal houses. Then the market crashed & everyone asked, what were we thinking? Today’s AI boom feels familiar. We’re trading agents and copilots instead of bulbs, but the mania looks the same. My latest Substack "AI Tulips" mamund.substack.com/p/ai-tulips

In this slide deck @mamund.bsky.social describes how digital businesses and API providers already have all the components and processes in place to build agentic systems: mamund.site44.com/talks/2025-1...

Reposted with alt text. Also, from a cursory look, this appears to basically be true, which is pretty funny. Philosophers... debate.

Passing tests ≠ production-ready. AI-generated code often hides inefficiency and debt. Don’t confuse correctness with competence. Read the full article here: mamund.substack.com/p/correctnes... #AI #LLM #CodeQuality

I get asked all the time: “How should we add AI to our product?” My answer is simple: Treat AI as a tool, not a feature. And if you want AI to mean something in your work, put it to work where it counts — in building and sustaining products that last. Full post here: buff.ly/KgtXCbf
