Picture this scenario: Six months after celebrating their "zero trust transformation," a financial services firm gets hit with a devastating breach. Attackers waltzed through a supply chain vulnerability in a third-party API, bypassing all those carefully configured identity controls . The firm ticked every checkbox and met every requirement - yet here they are, scrambling to contain customer data exposure. But wasn’t zero trust supposed to protect them?

The tradeoff between human and AI context

AI coding is a skill. You have to decide how much context to put in your brain vs the AI. You can waste your time thinking about the wrong problem because you failed to delegate. Or you can give yourself a headache when the AI coder doesn’t get it. I think about it in terms of spectrum of human to AI context. At the highest levels, we, humans, own all the context. We operate here when our specific value-add matters. We also work here in the many cases AI coders aren’t that smart yet. At the low
