https://ironwright.dev Writing on security, automation, and Microsoft 365 engineering from Adam Powell. en-us Sat, 11 Jul 2026 18:57:31 GMT https://ironwright.dev/blog/ai-coding-agents-2026 https://ironwright.dev/blog/ai-coding-agents-2026 Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT A practitioner's honest ledger of agentic coding - where it's a genuine force multiplier, where the demos lie, and the discipline that separates the two. https://ironwright.dev/blog/ai-security-debt https://ironwright.dev/blog/ai-security-debt Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT AI writes code faster than anyone can review it - and nearly half of that code ships with security flaws. Here's the bill quietly coming due. https://ironwright.dev/blog/prompt-injection-new-attack-surface https://ironwright.dev/blog/prompt-injection-new-attack-surface Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT The moment you give an AI agent tools, the prompt becomes your security boundary - and it's one we don't yet know how to reliably defend. https://ironwright.dev/blog/ai-agents-mostly-scripts https://ironwright.dev/blog/ai-agents-mostly-scripts Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Most of the work an SMB wants to hand to an AI agent is a deterministic workflow that a script runs cheaper, faster, and more auditably. A look at the failure rates, the consumption-pricing surprises, and the security exposure, plus a simple test for the few cases where agency actually earns its keep. https://ironwright.dev/blog/forge-terminal-craft-as-proof https://ironwright.dev/blog/forge-terminal-craft-as-proof Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Most security and MSP vendor sites are the same templated slideware. Ours has a name, Forge Terminal, and the discipline behind the look is the same discipline behind the work. A short field note on building proof instead of polish. https://ironwright.dev/blog/ai-wont-take-your-job https://ironwright.dev/blog/ai-wont-take-your-job Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The people getting the most value from AI aren't prompt engineers or early adopters - they're the ones who already had solid fundamentals. https://ironwright.dev/blog/ai-workforce-trends https://ironwright.dev/blog/ai-workforce-trends Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT The data tells a more nuanced story than the headlines suggest. What's actually happening with AI-driven job displacement and what organizations should do about it. https://ironwright.dev/blog/aporia-productive-confusion https://ironwright.dev/blog/aporia-productive-confusion Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT Nearly every big decision comes out of a conversation. But how often do those conversations hold up to logical scrutiny? https://ironwright.dev/blog/fundamentals-win https://ironwright.dev/blog/fundamentals-win Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT The skills that matter in an AI-augmented world are the same skills that mattered before. They're just worth more now.
