Hack the Stack #001: The Governance Gap Nobody Priced In

A CEO doubles his company's AI spend, doubles revenue in the same stretch, and still won't say the two are connected. That honesty is this week's starting point for a wider problem: AI is running ahead of anyone's ability to govern it in production. This episode: Temporal's internal AI rollout and its very real spend caps, the coding-agent budget overruns hitting Replit, Kilo Code, and Symbotic, five startups racing to solve agent-to-agent trust and auditability, and why mainframe modernization is really a data problem wearing a legacy-code costume. Voices in this episode are digitally rendered. New episodes every Tuesday.
