Open Research & Deep Dives

Developer Infrastructure After the Diff — Industry Deep Dive

Cheaper code generation shifts the bottleneck from writing diffs to proving they are safe and deployable. This deep dive maps the post-diff stack across delivery pipelines, security, software supply chains, observability, incidents, and AI-assisted remediation.

Product Engineering Work Graph — Industry Deep Dive

Software teams lose critical context between customer evidence, product judgment, and engineering execution. This deep dive maps the emerging work graph connecting feedback, roadmaps, issues, ownership, repositories, releases, and agent tasks so humans and AI can act with the full story.

Vibe Coding — Industry Deep Dive

AI can increasingly take an app from intent to deployed code, but ownership begins after generation. This deep dive maps consumer and professional coding tools, their economics, and the durable layers around context, execution, verification, deployment, maintenance, and governance.

Private Connectivity Layer — Industry Deep Dive

Private access is fragmenting across people, devices, workloads, CI jobs, vendors, and agents. This deep dive maps the identity-aware connectivity layer replacing broad VPN tunnels with narrow policy, continuous evaluation, and an auditable graph of who can reach each resource.

Data Labelling — Industry Deep Dive

Frontier AI increasingly depends on scarce human judgment rather than generic annotation labor. This deep dive maps the supply chain for task design, expert routing, rubrics, review, leakage control, and accepted post-training data, including how neutrality shapes vendor advantage.

turbopuffer and the Cost Curve of Search — Company Deep Dive

turbopuffer is a bet on infrastructure economics: object storage can reshape the cost curve of search when latency and architecture are designed around it. This company deep dive examines the product, technical tradeoffs, market position, and sources of advantage.
