Auto-memory and Dynamic Workflows are why it feels alive, and here's how both work.

The connections from your own systems, behind your own OAuth, are the part you own. Build those once with MCP and the same tools work in Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or a model you run yourself.

The 20% that's left, judgment, design, knowing what not to build, is now the whole job, and the same human brain has to hold more of it. That work didn't get cheaper. It got rarer and more expensive.

The metered reality is $500–$2,000 a month for heavy users. Here is what the math actually says, what other tools are doing about it, and why Churro Coder embeds the native CLI instead of calling the SDK.

A grounded look at the stack, the limits, and a worked autonomous bugfixing workflow.

A look at the agent-readiness tooling, what the ETH Zurich research really says, and the minimum path to a sensible maturity level for a small team.

Heavy spec frameworks slow small teams to a crawl. Here is why Spec-Driven Development matters in the AI era, where the sweet spot lives, and why OpenSpec is the lightweight harness most teams actually need.

Multiply zero by anything and you still get zero. Here is how senior architects at IBERANT drive AI to ship code worth shipping, and why the people complaining about AI slop are usually the ones producing it.
