Multi-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 & TechnologyWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Why 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. Here's what worked.
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 & TechnologyCritical Yet Kind: Feedback Principles Encoded in 86 Hooks
Google's Project Aristotle found psychological safety predicts team performance. I encoded the same principles into automated code review hooks.
Career & GrowthPRD-Driven Development: How I Use 30+ PRDs to Ship with AI Agents
I've written 30+ PRDs for AI agent tasks. Here's where PRD-driven development works, where it fails, and how my template evolved over 6 months.
AI DevelopmentThe Ralph Loop: How I Run Autonomous AI Agents Overnight
I built an autonomous agent system with stop hooks, spawn budgets, and filesystem memory. Here are the failures and what actually ships code.
AI & TechnologyStartup Validation Stack: What 12 Projects Taught Me
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 & GrowthColor Science for Interfaces: Building a Zero-Color Site
I built a site with no colors — just white on absolute black with four opacity layers. Here's the color science that made the decision work.
Design & UXAI Theater: Why Only 23% of Companies Create Real Value
McKinsey found 90% of companies claim AI adoption but only 23% scale beyond pilots. I've witnessed three flavors of AI theater and practiced one myself.
AI & TechnologyFour Years of Past Year Reviews: What I Actually Learned
Four years of Past Year Review data revealed which decisions compound and which drain energy. The data changed how I make career decisions.
Systems & ProductivityBuilding Design Teams That Ship: 12 Years of Evidence
After 12 years leading product design at ZipRecruiter, I learned which team structures ship and which polish endlessly. The patterns surprised me.
Design & UXMental Compound Interest: Cross-Domain Knowledge in Practice
Design + engineering + AI produced tools none of those skills alone could build. An interactive calculator and the cross-domain advantage in practice.
