There’s a growing narrative that AI can now scan codebases, find subtle bugs, and even uncover vulnerabilities that humans have missed for years. You’ll see this framed as progress. Better…
In a previous post, I wrote about the current narrative around AI agents “coding for hours” and what’s actually going on behind the scenes. If you haven’t read that, it’s…
There’s a growing narrative that AI agents can now “code for hours” and build meaningful applications with minimal human involvement I’ve spent a bit of time looking into this, and…
AI can write SQL for you and run it immediately. That’s the problem. Much of the recent excitement around AI and databases has focused on MCP (Model Context Protocol) —…
Step-by-Step Tutorial: Configure Auth0, Create an ORDS JWT Profile, and Secure an Endpoint [ there is a companion GitHub to this post ] This is the hands-on companion to the…
Why This Pattern Works: Auth0 as Identity Provider, ORDS as Resource Server [ also see the companion GitHub repo ] I spent longer than I’d like to admit trying to…
The most talked about way of connecting to an Oracle database from AI, whether Codex, Claude Code or another AI is MCP – it’s great and enables you to easily…
We are swiftly moving to a world where businesses will see AI agents as a primary channel for business processes. Chains of agents will push through a process from begin…
We have all heard the stories about AI agents going “rogue” and releasing information that is commercially sensitive or private and with the unpredictability of LLMs, this is a real…
While we can all building applications at light-speed with AI, ensuring that the code produced follows best practice is more difficult. LLMs are fundamentally based on public code, and code…
Simon Griffiths architects data-first systems, sceptical about the rest. Drawing on long experience across enterprise data, architecture, and AI, he prefers platforms designed for reality, not just the latest narrative.
