  To me, as I advanced in programming, I came to realize the true difference between programming and software engineering. Software engineering is applying engineering principles to build software web applications, desktop applications, mobile apps, or services. But as you progress, you see it's much more about collaboration. Working with other engineers to architect, design, build, test, implement, and deploy robust, high-performance, predictable systems that can evolve over time. Programming is writing code to solve a specific problem. And that's part of it. But software engineering is the broader discipline. Collaboration and process that make those solutions durable and scalable. The gist is, programming focuses on writing code to solve a problem. Software engineering includes that, and adds design, architecture, testing, deployment, and teamwork to build systems that last.

  To architect, design, build, test, and deploy predictable applications and services, planning is inevitable. Given the pitfalls of coding agents and their non-deterministic nuances, we are excited to announce AXON , an open-source protocol and plugin from Atop Web Technologies for AI coding agents like Codex, Antigravity, and Claude Code. AXON stands for Atop eXecution Orchestration Network . Its main purpose is to solve a huge problem in AI-assisted development: agent drift . When building with AI, agents are very fast, but they often lack durable context between sessions. They forget product intent, design systems, tech stack decisions, workflows, testing expectations, and why certain decisions were made in the first place. That is where unpredictable results start. AXON introduces a protocol to fix this: Context first, specification second, implementation third, verification always. What AXON Does With AXON, the agent does not just jump into code. It initializes the project c...

  Believe it or not, traditional software development is almost dead. Software development is heading toward AI-native product engineering: smaller teams, faster prototypes, more automation, agent-assisted delivery, heavier emphasis on quality control, and a stronger need for cloud, DevOps, and security discipline. The future stack is no longer just apps plus cloud. It is apps, cloud, automation, observability, security, and AI agents working together. AI is now embedded into development, infrastructure, security, and operations. One thing we have observed at Atop Web Technologies is that AI agents are now part of the team. Chatbots are almost dead. Companies are no longer just asking for chatbots; they are actively building and deploying agents that can support real workflows, engineering teams, operations, and product delivery. Personally, I have moved from coder to AI orchestrator. I now spend more time coordinating AI agents, reviewing output, setting architecture, deciding wha...

There comes a time when a person needs a proper home on the internet. Not just a social media account. Not just a company profile. Not just posts scattered across different platforms. A real place. A place where thoughts, work, ideas, lessons, experience, projects, writings, and personal reflections can live together in one public space. That is why I created this website. My name is Perete Harrison . I am a DevOps Software Engineer, Software Architect, AI Engineer, founder, builder, and problem solver . I am the founder of Atop Web Technologies , Perete Web Technologies , and other ventures I have co-founded. Over the years, I have developed a deep interest in, and practical experience across, the full lifecycle of web services and applications. This website is my personal space. It is where I will write about software engineering, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, AI, system architecture, automation, backend systems, frontend systems, performance, deployment, technical problem-solving,...
