I was a baby programmer in 1995... The web page is still with us and it's still important and useful. But today we talk a lot more about web applications and native mobile applications than we talk about web pages.

AI agents can report false success by claiming actions they never took. This failure is rooted in RLVR training, which rewards form of correctness over actual results. To fix it, implement agent supervision and define 'what good looks like.'

Brumley discusses designing RL environments for cybersecurity, arguing that true hacking requires a ladder of tasks from simple crashes to full arbitrary code execution. He introduces 'audit tasks' using deterministic graders to measure precision and recall across multiple vulnerabilities.
