Human reliability maths applied to AI agents. Consensus protocols, identity checks, and why your agent swarm needs the same safeguards humans built centuries ago.
Model Context Protocol was supposed to be the USB-C of AI integrations. Instead it is eating 50% of your context window before your agent even starts working.

What makes an AI coding assistant actually good in 2025. Beyond HumanEval benchmarks to real-world capabilities: architecture understanding, debugging, security awareness, code generation vs code comprehension.
Alfred Kahn warned that rational small decisions aggregate into irrational outcomes. Now AI agents make thousands of those decisions daily in your codebase.
The maths behind why no single human should act alone on anything that matters. Error rates, independent review, and why four eyes beat two every time.
