## Writing

- [AI agents are moving money faster than security can think](https://ryancolkitt.com/writing/ai-agents-are-moving-money-faster-than-security-can-think-mqh4krd1): Coinbase is shipping agentic wallets while researchers just disclosed how to hijack AI agents. The crash is coming.
- ["AI Won't Take Your Job" Is a Comforting Lie. Here Is the Honest Version.](https://ryancolkitt.com/writing/ai-wont-take-your-job-honest-version): The slogan is half true, which makes it more dangerous than a clean lie. Let me give you the part that actually matters.
- [Why MCP Servers Will Eat the IDE](https://ryancolkitt.com/writing/why-mcp-servers-will-eat-the-ide-mqe2d2zo): The integrations are becoming the product.
- [AI in Mortgage Will Not Be Won by the Flashiest Demo. It Will Be Won by Whoever Survives the Audit.](https://ryancolkitt.com/writing/ai-in-mortgage-survives-the-audit): Everyone is racing to put a model in front of a borrower. The real moat is behind the scenes, in the part nobody demos.
- [Stop Handing Engineers Your Vibe-Coded Prototype. Hand Them the Spec.](https://ryancolkitt.com/writing/stop-handing-engineers-your-vibe-coded-prototype): The prototype was never the asset. The thinking behind it was. Most teams are shipping the wrong artifact to their engineers.
- [The PM Role Is Being Rewritten. Most PMs Are Editing the Wrong Draft.](https://ryancolkitt.com/writing/the-pm-role-is-being-rewritten): Everyone agrees the product manager job is changing. Almost no one agrees on what it is changing into. Here is the version I am betting my career on.
