If AI Writes and Reviews the Code, What Is the Human Approving?
AI agents write the code and independent AI code review gates it on evidence. What a PASS establishes about AI-generated code, and what a human approves.

What Oma Säästöpankki measured after four weeks of AI coaching
I ran a four-week AI Coaching Program for specialists at Oma Säästöpankki. Their pilot lead reported 15–50% time savings, and one regulatory task went from four hours to minutes.

AI Optimized My Throughput. It Did Not Optimize Me.
My AI agents increased my output more than 10x, and my workdays got heavier, not lighter. A first-person account of AI brain fry, decision fatigue, and becoming the human bottleneck in an agent workflow.

AI took my job. Twice in one year. I still have one.
What a year of coding with AI did to my work, my role, and me. AI took over the writing, then the checking, and I had to relearn my role three times.

I'm not working with a tool anymore
Eija Moisala asked me one question for her Ask a friend series: what have you been experimenting with, and what did it teach you?

Your AI Coding Agents Are Slow Because Your Tools Talk Too Much
A validator agent spent 6-9x longer understanding test results than the tests took to run. The fix was not a better prompt. It was giving the tools a quieter mouth.
