- Agents Are Speedrunning the History of RPC
When a tool call dies mid-flight, neither MCP nor A2A can tell you whether it executed, and no retry can prove it is the same request. RPC solved this in 1984. Three changes close the gap.
- When Agents Hire Agents: PACT, the Missing Layer 4 of the Agentic Web
A2A moves tasks without prices, x402 moves money unconditionally, AP2 authorizes without verifying. PACT adds the missing object: the Verifiable Task Contract.
- The Agentic Web Is Being Wired Right Now: A Field Guide to MCP, A2A, Skills, and Agent Payments
A field guide to the protocols wiring the agentic web: MCP for tools, A2A for agent-to-agent work, Skills for know-how, and the three-way fight over payments.
- Can You Trust an Autonomous Agent? The Identity and Delegation Layer Behind MCP, A2A, and AP2
Four questions a bearer token cannot answer: agent identity, authorization flows, delegation chains, and accountability, each mapped to its standard.
- The Hardware-Accelerated Mesh: How DPUs and Ambient Topologies Killed the Data Center Tax
How DPUs and ambient mesh topologies remove the sidecar tax from service networking.
- WebMCP: The HTTP of the Agentic AI Age
WebMCP as the missing protocol layer for agents that browse and act on the web.
- The Invisible Revolution: How AI is Rewiring the Data Center Network
Why AI traffic broke the old data center network and what is replacing it.
- The Enterprise AI Gap isn't Model IQ anymore. It’s Execution + Trust
Enterprise AI stopped being limited by model quality; execution and trust are the bottleneck now.
- AI Agents vs. Agentic AI vs. MCP Server–Based AI vs. A2A AI: Technical Angle
The same four terms, this time from the architecture and protocol side.
- AI Agents vs. Agentic AI vs. MCP Server–Based AI vs. A2A AI: Business Angle
Four overloaded terms untangled for decision makers: AI agents, agentic AI, MCP-based AI, and A2A.
- AI x APIs: The new power couple
OpenAPI-described services are becoming agent tools; what AI-first means for API teams.
- Agentic AI in Healthcare: From Monitoring to Meaningful Action
Turning continuous patient monitoring into safe, timely action with agentic AI.
- Automate. Predict. Grow: Why Managed AI Is the Fastest Path to Scale for SMBs
Why managed AI beats both complex tooling and simple tools for small and mid-sized businesses.
- AI-Powered Low-Code Platforms: Reimagining App Development for Everyone
How AI turns low-code platforms into a way for anyone to ship real applications.
- Mocking web services for testing and fault injection
Standing up mock web services to test SOA systems and inject faults on purpose, from 2015.
- Software secure coding standards and analysis
A 2015 walkthrough of Java secure coding standards and the static-analysis toolchain for enforcing them.
