Two MCP Servers, One Chat: Reconciling Ad Metrics With Form Outcomes Without a Dashboard

There is a particular kind of work that never lives in one place. You run ads in one screen. You collect form responses in another.

The two systems do not know about each other, so a human becomes the join layer. For eight days I tested whether that join could move out of my head and into a single conversation.

How Meta's AI Support Bot Got Tricked Into Hijacking Instagram Accounts

The Incident In June 2026, Krebs on Security reported that hackers were circulating step-by-step instructions on Telegram showing how to manipulate Meta's AI support assistant into resetting Instagram account passwords — without proper authorization. The attack wasn't a SQL injection or an OAuth exploit. It was a prompt injection: crafted user inputs designed to override the bot's intended behavior. The results were concrete and embarrassing.

Why the SDLC Is Cracking Under the Weight of AI

Why the SDLC Is Cracking Under the Weight of AI Three decades of engineering orthodoxy and the shift no one is talking about clearly enough I've been thinking a lot about a specific kind of organizational irony that I'm watching play out across engineering teams right now. A company buys into the AI productivity narrative — they roll out GitHub Copilot, or Claude, or some combination of both — and for the first two weeks, developers feel like superheroes. Code that used to take a da
