Things AI Is Surprisingly Bad At
It can reverse-engineer binaries and find 27-year-old bugs. It cannot reliably tell you what day of the week it is. A field guide to AI's blind spots — and why each one exists.

Your team's reaction to your output reveals everything. If they're surprised by your velocity, they're not AI-native yet. If they doubt your quality — that's the gift that makes your workflow bulletproof.
AI writes the code. Deterministic code verifies the AI. No hallucinations, no hand-waving — just assertions that pass or fail. The development loop that makes everything else sustainable.
Anthropic built an AI that found a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD, exploited the Linux kernel autonomously, and reverse-engineered closed-source binaries. Then they decided not to release it.
One engineer with AI agents is outproducing entire teams. Not because the engineer is special — because the coordination overhead is gone.
Your calendar is full. Your terminal is empty. In the AI era, every meeting that should have been text is an hour of building you'll never get back.
Claude Code just learned to see your screen and control your Mac. I set it up, tested it live, and here's the complete breakdown — what works and what doesn't.
Keep It Simple, Stupid. The most ignored principle in AI engineering. Why your one markdown file beats their twelve-agent pipeline.
El agua turbia se aclara sola. Sobre círculos pequeños, límites claros, filosofía zen y por qué tu paz no es negociable.
Anthropic accidentally leaked their most powerful model through a misconfigured website. Its codename is Mythos. Its tier is Capybara. It sits above Opus. And it changes everything.
I wrote the definitive Things 3 guide, then built an AI-powered audit. My own system scored 2/10. Here is what went wrong and how I am fixing it.
No prompts, max effort, zero friction. The complete permissions setup for power users who want Claude Code fully unleashed.
