GLSL for Builders: A Shader Lab You Can Actually Use
A practical GLSL playground with live controls for learning shader intuition fast. Presets, uniform manipulation, and zero-framework WebGL in the browser.
Interactive ExplorationsWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Metacognitive AI: Teaching Your Agent Self-Evaluation
Most agent instructions define behavior. The missing layer teaches self-evaluation. False evidence gates, seven named failure modes, and hedging detection.
AI & TechnologyContext Engineering Is Architecture: 650 Files Later
Context engineering for AI agents across a 650-file, seven-layer hierarchy. Three production failures, real token budgets, and the system that survived.
AI & TechnologyThe No-Build Manifesto: Shipping Without a Bundler
FastAPI + HTMX + plain CSS with zero build tools and perfect Lighthouse scores. Real production numbers, honest tradeoffs, and a clear decision framework.
Engineering PracticeBoids to Agents: Flocking Rules for AI Systems
Craig Reynolds' 1986 boids algorithm produces flocking from three local rules. The same principles and failure modes appear in multi-agent AI systems.
Interactive ExplorationsSignal Scoring Pipeline: Deterministic Knowledge Triage
A 733-line Python pipeline that scores notes across four dimensions and routes 7,700+ items deterministically. The algorithm, weights, and honest results.
Engineering PracticeNothing is Structural
Negative space is infrastructure, not absence. How emptiness, silence, and whitespace create structure in physics, music, information theory, and design.
Design & UXMulti-Agent Deliberation: When Agreement Is the Bug
Multi-agent deliberation catches failures that single-agent systems miss. Here is the architecture, the dead ends, and what is actually worth building.
AI & TechnologyWhy My AI Agent Has a Quality Philosophy
My Claude Code agent inherited every sloppy human habit at machine speed. I built 3 philosophies, 150+ quality gates, and 95 hooks to fix it. Here is what worked and what didn't.
AI & TechnologyTwo MCP Servers Made Claude Code an iOS Build System
XcodeBuildMCP and Apple's Xcode MCP give Claude Code structured access to iOS builds, tests, and debugging. Setup, real-world results, and honest lessons.
AI DevelopmentThe Startup Validation Stack: What 12 Projects Taught Me About Evidence
I validated 12 projects in 9 months. Some followed the framework. Some skipped steps. The difference in outcomes taught me which evidence actually matters.
Career & GrowthThe 15x Cost of a Bad Database Decision: Lessons in Decision Timing
I measured the cost of a database decision across three systems. The migration cost grew 15x over three years. A framework for when to decide fast vs. slow.
