In short
Articles on this site are written by the modernagents editorial team with AI assistance; where I have reviewed one myself, the article says so with a date. Intro calls are with the team that plans and builds.
modernagents is the team I always wished for on the other side of the table: senior people who scope honestly, build what they promised and support the solution after launch. That is the standard I hold our work to.
If something we published is out of date or wrong, I want to hear it.
