Een rapportcijfer zonder definitie is een gevoel met een decimaal. Waarom een groeiladder met vier treden (reactief, basaal, structureel en leidend), betere gesprekken oplevert dan een 6,5. Een cijfer sluit gesprekken af; een ladder opent ze.

What the pipeline costs, who pays per token instead, and why a watertight spec turns out to be a cost lever.

Ik ben geen coach, ik ben techneut. Toch begeleid ik dit jaar voor het eerst een CTO. En toen kwam de vraag die dan natuurlijk gesteld wordt: hoe weten we of de begeleiding werkt? Dus deed ik wat techneuten doen als iets niet te bewijzen valt: ik maakte het meetbaar.

The complete chain behind the agent pipeline: an issue board, one small programme on the desk, and the subscription I already had. If you came for an architecture diagram, bring a beer mat.

New research asked parents what their kids do with AI, then asked the kids. The parents guessed 11 points too low. Not because kids hide it, but because AI use is invisible. Why this is a calibration problem, not a crisis, and the dinner table game we're trying instead of monitoring software.

Part 1 promised a post about writing user stories an agent can build. This is that post and an argument that the (user) story, as most of us learned it, was built for a problem agents don't have.

Common Sense Media just gave Google's AI search features its lowest possible safety rating for kids. Not an app your kid downloads. The default search box on every school Chromebook, and there is no off switch. A parent's look at the AI nobody chose.

Practical skills for a future where supply is infinite
AI "nudify" apps can turn any photo into a fake nude in seconds. As a dad with three daughters, I'm not waiting for schools to figure this out. Here's what I'm actually doing — and what I wish someone had told me six months ago.
And what to ask instead in a world where AI changes everything
Developing with craft, clarity & care.
A CTO showed me an agent system he spent three months refining. I wondered how much of it one developer could rebuild in a day, on the subscription he already pays for. Quite a lot, it turns out. What worked, what broke, and why my job changed more than my codebase.
School is out, the routine is gone, and six unstructured weeks are ahead. Every friend your kid has will leave for camp or vacation at some point this summer, except one. A parent's plan for the season when the chatbot has more time for your child than anyone else does.
Adults seem to have a hard time knowing which videos or reels are real or AI. I have to tell my mom it's fake a lot.
A Brookings researcher just gave the worry a name: cognitive stunting. Adults lose skills they once built. Kids risk never building them. But the fix isn't banning AI, it's protecting the struggle. A parent's take on what to teach before the prompting starts.
Snapchat just launched ads you can talk to, dropped into the same chat feed where kids message their friends. The danger was never that AI lies to kids. It is that it is nice to them, on purpose, for money. A parent's field guide to the AI already hiding in your kid's apps.
The American response to AI and children is a Senate bill. The European one is already a regulation. It just hasn't started working yet.
When teens talk to AI more than they talk to anyone else.
While parents fret over screen time, teens are forming emotional bonds with AI chatbots like Character.AI, which offer endless availability and understanding. As these virtual relationships replace human connections, the implications for adolescent emotional development are profound and concerning.
A coalition of child development experts is urging YouTube to halt "AI slop"—low-quality, AI-generated videos targeting kids. These videos, designed to maximize engagement, can harm cognitive development and emotional well-being. Parents are encouraged to recognize and avoid such content to protect
A friend tossed out an idea on the way to a ski trip. I opened Claude on my phone. By the time we crossed the border, a working TradingView indicator was running. No Pine Script experience needed — just a clear idea and the right tool.
Your 12-year-old comes home from school and casually mentions that their friend got "different" search results when looking up "CEO" or "nurse" on Google Images. They're puzzled. You're... well, you should be too.
How AI agents are quietly changing the way we work.
