We’re witnessing the birth of a new computing paradigm. Large language models are shedding their role as sophisticated search engines to become autonomous agents capable of executing complex workflows across enterprise systems. This transformation, enabled by protocols like MCP (Model Context Protocol), promises unprecedented productivity gains. It also creates the most significant new attack surface in decades.| Jamie Lord
Looking at this Chromium vulnerability report, lets examine one of the most sophisticated browser security exploits discovered in recent years. This post shows how seemingly abstract architectural decisions can create devastating security vulnerabilities when implementation details go wrong…| Jamie Lord
The UK promises to become an ‘AI maker rather than AI taker’ with a £2 billion investment. But in a global race measured in hundreds of billions, is Britain deluding itself about its chances of victory?| Jamie Lord
The UK government provides an excellent open data resource through data.police.uk, offering free access to street-level crime statistics, police force information, and neighbourhood policing details across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. However, whilst the API documentation exists, there hasn’t been a comprehensive OpenAPI specification available for developers who want to integrate this data into their applications.| Jamie Lord
Claude Code’s new plan mode solves a problem most developers didn’t realise they had. We’ve grown accustomed to AI tools that immediately start generating code, but this reactive approach often produces technically correct solutions that miss the bigger picture entirely.| Jamie Lord
You’ve experienced this before: an AI tool generates beautiful frontend components whilst simultaneously creating a backend that expects completely different data structures. Hours later, you’re manually bridging the gap between what should have been complementary code. The promise of AI-powered development feels broken, and you’re considering starting over entirely.| Jamie Lord
Cloudflare’s new pay-per-crawl system sounds reasonable on paper: AI companies pay content creators for the privilege of scraping their work. Finally, some economic justice for publishers getting steamrolled by Silicon Valley’s data vacuum cleaners. But scratch beneath the surface, and this “solution” reveals itself as something far more troubling—a Trojan horse that may accelerate the very problems it claims to solve.| Jamie Lord
The most profound changes in software development rarely come from new languages or frameworks. They emerge when we fundamentally alter how we approach creation itself. We’re witnessing such a shift as developers begin orchestrating networks of AI agents rather than writing code directly. This represents a leap from crafting individual solutions to designing systems that generate solutions.| Jamie Lord
Today marks a watershed moment for the serverless ecosystem. Cloudflare has launched Containers, and it fundamentally changes how we think about building applications at the edge. This isn’t just another container platform—it’s the missing piece that transforms Cloudflare’s developer platform from impressive to genuinely revolutionary.| Jamie Lord
The US Embassy in Dublin just dropped a bombshell that should terrify anyone who values digital privacy. Future student visa applicants must now provide “all social media usernames or handles of every platform they have used from the last five years” and make their profiles public during the application process.| Jamie Lord
Anthropic’s Research feature demonstrates how multi-agent architectures solve problems that single-agent systems fundamentally cannot handle. Their technical breakdown reveals architectural decisions and engineering principles that extend well beyond research applications, offering a blueprint for building reliable multi-agent systems at scale.| Jamie Lord
Pika.page emerges as the more user-friendly option for beginners seeking modern features, while Bear Blog dominates in performance, maturity, and value for experienced users. Both platforms excel at distraction-free blogging but serve distinctly different user needs—Pika.page prioritises ease of use and visual appeal, while Bear Blog champions speed, privacy, and technical flexibility.| Jamie Lord
Time-series databases are hardly new, but Cloudflare’s Workers Analytics Engine offers an intriguing twist on the traditional approach. After diving into its technical documentation and architecture, I found some fascinating design choices worth exploring – particularly around how it handles high-cardinality data at scale.| Jamie Lord
