In today's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast I sat down with Jennifer Riggins to talk about developer experience, platform, artificial intelligence, and the humans in the loop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnAZ...
If you've spent any time connecting AI agents to your development workflow, you know the feeling: a dozen JSON config files scattered across your machine, each with slightly different schemas, different key names, and different scoping rules. - naftiko.io/blog/the-mcp...
The Model Context Protocol has taken the developer tooling world by storm. But as adoption accelerates, a critical question is being overlooked: what exactly should go inside the context window? naftiko.io/blog/right-s...
Every engineering team has them — the developers who've cracked the code on working with AI assistants. They've built custom skills, dialed in their MCP configs, written slash commands that save hours per week. They're shipping faster than everyone else. www.linkedin.com/pulse/your-b...
We sat down with Emmanuel Paraskakis of Level 250 to talk about API products, API design, and spec-driven development in today's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WPP...
"We have 14 competing standards," someone says. "Ridiculous. We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone's use case." "We now have 15 competing standards." If you work in APIs, you're not living in a simulation. You're living in that cartoon. naftiko.io/blog/from-a-...
Long before we wrote equations, contracts, or specifications, we told stories.
The best tool for the job? The one your team never has to log into. Stop forcing developers out of their workflow. Meet them where they already are. 🔧
Every enterprise now needs an AI infrastructure opinion, whether they like it or not. The arrival of large language models didn't just introduce a new tool — it forced organizations into a reckoning with their own readiness. naftiko.io/blog/the-fou...
If you've ever tried to generate code from a JSON Schema & watched your tooling quietly give up halfway through, you're not alone. It's a frustration that Clemens Vasters, Principal Architect for Messaging and Real-Time Intelligence Services at Microsoft, knows intimately. naftiko.io/blog/json-st...
In today's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast I sit down with Clemens Vasters to talk about JSON Structure and how the specification and supporting tooling can help us think about JSON and YAML schema validation and composition. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stre...
For years, we’ve said “design first” when talking about APIs--only recently has that idea become truly practical at scale. At its core, design-first is a product mindset applied to APIs. If an API is a product—just like any other product—it deserves the same discipline. naftiko.io/blog/design-...
We'll see what we can do!
@pa-dev.bsky.social How has being a "full snack developer" changed in the era of artificial intelligence? ;-)
Would love to have you come by for a podcast and discuss anytime.

Governance gateway for AI agents
Cloudflare's network supports real-time content conversion for enabled zones using content negotiation headers, when AI systems request pages from any website, they can automatically express the preference for text/markdown in the request. blog.cloudflare.com/markdown-for...
Security tooling has a reputation problem with developers. Alert too early and you're noise. Gate too late and you're a blocker. So where's the sweet spot? naftiko.io/blog/finding...
I sat down with Anna Daugherty, CPMM of Arnica to talk about AppSec & governance at the intersection of IDE, Copilots, Git, Pipelines, and source code in today's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5ZJ...
Emmanuel Paraskakis came by to talk API products and AI with me today during my live weekly conversation, and shared some insight into what spec-driven development is all about.
For decades, code has been king. Specifications existed to serve code. Product requirement documents (PRDs), architecture diagrams, and technical plans were scaffolding—useful early on, but quickly outdated. naftiko.io/blog/why-spe...
Specification-Driven Development (SDD) - For decades, code has been king. Specifications served code—they were the scaffolding we built and then discarded once the "real work" of coding began. github.com/github/spec-...
What are the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) at both geopolitical and industry-specific levels naftiko.io/blog/navigat...
I discuss the highest levels of AI with Simon Wardley, and how to stay sane in the depths of the hype cycles with Kevin Swiber and Mike Amundsen in this week's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ombZ...
We spent the last several months talking to platform teams, API architects, and integration leaders across the enterprise. We asked a simple question: What's actually blocking you right now? www.linkedin.com/pulse/enterp...
The API economy is evolving faster than the tooling, governance, and organizational muscles built to support it. After dozens of conversations with platform teams, API architects, and integration leaders across the enterprise, a pattern has emerged. naftiko.io/blog/42-prob...
