Bliki: LLM Voice
Sometimes when I read a post, I get the growing feeling that I'm reading the output of an LLM. I can't necessarily define why, although there are the common tells (it's not the em-dashes, it's the load-bearing tapestries). As I do this my desire to read on atrophies, sometimes to the point of revulsion There are tools out there that claim to be able to tell the difference between LLM-written prose and the…

Introducing Atlas App Connections: Secure, One-Click Access for AI Tools
For builders using AI coding tools, speed is everything. Integrations that require generating a credential, filing an access request, or waiting on a custom build can stop momentum (and productivity) in its tracks. Until now, connecting an external application like an AI coding assistant to a MongoDB Atlas account introduced some of that friction. The only way to do so was by sharing long-lived service account…

Why are good developers so wary of agentic development?
TL;DR Good developers’ caution about agentic development comes from knowing that built isn’t the same as working in production. I’ve been surprised by how many excellent developers have been hesitant to go all in on coding agents. These are people who usually try new ways of working before anyone else and in many cases invent new tools and practices that support building the application well. So why have we had so…

Five rules for evaluating agent skills before they bloat your context window
You’re probably hearing more about SKILL.md files, and you’ll see that a lot of people test them the same way: paste a prompt into chat, watch it pass once on a laptop, and merge to main. But when you paste three pages of CLI docs into a markdown file without an evaluation loop, you are just as likely to confuse a frontier model as you are to help it. For the past weeks, we have been diligently measuring and…
