Start Here: Technical Reference in 2026

This site is now focused on practical AI engineering: agents, MCP, frameworks, security, ethics, and product delivery.

Technical Reference 2026 cover

If you are building with AI and need practical, implementation-first guidance, this site is for you.

Technical Reference is now focused on modern AI engineering with one rule:

Useful in production beats impressive in demos.

What you will find here

  1. AI agent architecture and MCP integration guides.
  2. Framework comparisons that include trade-offs, not marketing claims.
  3. Security and ethics checklists for real delivery contexts.
  4. Vibe coding workflows with reliability guardrails.
  5. AI + insurance applied patterns.
  6. Idea-to-product execution playbooks.

How to use this site

  • Start with implementation guides.
  • Use comparison posts to choose a stack.
  • Apply checklists before release.
  • Revisit trend posts as the ecosystem changes.

Publishing rhythm

  • Tuesday: technical implementation guide.
  • Friday: strategic comparison, trend, or case-based post.

What to read next

  1. AI Agents + MCP: A Practical Architecture Pattern.
  2. AI Security and Ethics Checklist for Engineering Teams.
  3. Vibe Coding with Guardrails: Ship Fast Without Breaking Trust.

AI Evaluation Harness: From Prompt Tests to Production Release Gates

A practical framework for building an AI evaluation harness that links test quality to release decisions and operational confidence. Evaluation harnesses turn subjective model quality into measurable release criteria. Combine functional, safety, latency, and cost checks into one pipeline. Block releases when critical thresholds are missed, even under delivery pressure. If your AI release decision is based on a demo, you are not releasing engineering software; you are releasing a hope strategy. A proper evaluation harness creates repeatable evidence for quality, safety, and cost trade-offs. Prerequisites Versioned prompts and model configuration. Representative test dataset by use case. CI/CD pipeline with artefact retention. Clear service-level objectives for latency and reliability. Evaluation layers 1) Functional correctness Golden set response checks. Tool invocation correctness. Schema compliance for structured outputs. 2) Safety and policy Prompt in...

AI Security and Ethics Checklist for Engineering Teams

A practical pre-release checklist for AI features covering security, misuse risk, transparency, and governance. Shipping AI features without security and ethics checks creates hidden operational risk. Use this checklist before each release. 1) Data and privacy Confirm data minimisation in prompts and context. Remove secrets and personal data from logs. Enforce retention windows for model inputs and outputs. Validate third-party processor boundaries. 2) Security controls Restrict tool permissions by role and environment. Validate all tool outputs against strict schemas. Add prompt-injection defences for external content. Require approval gates for high-impact actions. 3) Safety and misuse Define clear disallowed use cases. Add risk prompts for potentially harmful requests. Add user-visible warnings for uncertain outputs. Add abuse monitoring and escalation paths. 4) Transparency and trust Disclose where AI assistance is used. Explain known limitations...

Scaling AI Agents in Insurance Claims: Human-Centric Automation Strategies

Design patterns for agent-assisted claims that amplify human judgment while achieving 40% faster processing in regulated settings. Design patterns for agent-assisted claims that amplify human judgment while achieving 40% faster processing in regulated settings. 2026 insurance predictions stress hyper-automated claims with people-first AI. Includes controls, pitfalls, and a phased implementation path. Design patterns for agent-assisted claims that amplify human judgment while achieving 40% faster processing in regulated settings. Why this matters Teams are under pressure to deliver AI capability quickly, but speed without control creates operational and governance risk. This guide focuses on practical execution patterns that hold up in production. Prerequisites Clear ownership for delivery and risk decisions. Baseline observability for model and tool behaviour. Defined quality and security acceptance criteria. Practical approach Define the business decision this...
