Three-layer architecture diagram showing Orchestration, AI Tool, and Validation layers for deterministic AI workflows

Why AI Should Never Be Your Workflow Orchestrator

I’ve learned through experience that there’s a fundamental truth about AI-assisted development: AI enforcement is not assured. You can write the most detailed skill file. You can craft the perfect system prompt. You can set up MCP servers with every tool imaginable. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: the AI decides whether to follow any of it. That’s not enforcement. That’s hope. TL;DR: LLMs are probabilistic and can’t guarantee workflow compliance. Skills and MCP tools extend capabilities but don’t enforce behavior. Claude Code Hooks solve this by providing deterministic control points—SessionStart, PreToolUse, and PostToolUse—that ensure critical actions always happen. Workflow orchestration must live outside the AI. ...

Brain vs AI comparison showing biological brain and artificial neural network with key differences

How Do Brains and AI Actually Work?

Can machines think like humans? Explore the fascinating comparison between biological brains (20 watts, continuous learning) and artificial neural networks (megawatts to train, frozen after training). Understand thinking, creativity, and consciousness.

Stop Hoping Your LLM Will Follow Instructions: Build Guardrails Instead

Instructions and tools tell LLMs what to do, but guardrails ensure they do it. Discover how to build validation feedback loops that make LLM outputs reliable through automated guardrails—with a 10-minute quick start guide.
