Tickets as System Design Artifacts
Well-written tickets encode architecture intent, constraints, and operational boundaries. Treating tickets as design artifacts improves implementation coherence and maintenance outcomes.
From Components to Deployable Systems: Can Taiwan Ship Full-Stack AI Products?
Taiwan's CES 2026 pivot from component supplier to systems exporter is credible, but software companies need productization discipline to turn hardware excellence into off-the-shelf global solutions.
Why Taiwan 16-Tile Mahjong Still Has No AlphaGo Moment
If AI can dominate Go and chess, why has Taiwan-style 16-tile mahjong not produced a public, superhuman breakthrough model? The answer is not one missing algorithm. It is an ecosystem problem with technical, data, and incentive bottlenecks.
The Accuracy Illusion: Why Reliability Beats Perfection in AI Engineering
Chasing 100% accuracy in LLMs is a fool's errand. Real engineering value comes from reliability, predictability, and the ability to handle failure gracefully. Here is why 'dumb but consistent' often beats 'smart but random'.
Open-Domain Tasks Are the Real AI Test: A Practical Guide from Benchmarks to Production
A practical guide to designing open-domain AI systems with one concrete port-compliance case, failure containment patterns, and a production-grade evaluation workflow.
The 15-Minute AI Reliability Audit (With a Practical Scorecard)
A fast, practical reliability audit for AI workflows: score the failure surface, find your weakest link, and implement one guardrail this week.
Open-Domain Evaluation Worksheet for Teams
A practical team worksheet for evaluating open-domain AI tasks: evidence quality, uncertainty handling, and recovery behavior under messy real-world conditions.
