Developer Insights

AI-assisted development that survives contact with reality.

AI accelerates output. It does not, by default, accelerate the kind of execution that remains inspectable, recoverable, and structurally legible to the team responsible for it.

This site is about the engineering side of that gap.

AI systems fail when coherent local execution detaches from recoverable shared reality.

About this site

Developer Insights is the personal site of Dave Ballantyne, CTO. The role here is GLASS/SAND technical framing authority — originator of the GLASS and SAND framing for AI-assisted development. The framework that operationalises this distinction is Execution Integrity Infrastructure — applied research by People Not Tech. Operational deployment runs through Execution Pods at HumanAgents.io. Concept lineage with Duena Blomstrom.
