Nothing Is Structural: Negative Space as Infrastructure
Negative space is infrastructure, not absence. How emptiness, silence, and whitespace create structure in physics, music, information theory, and design.
Design & UXWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
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 & 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. 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 & TechnologyClaude Code Extensions: Organizing 139 Skills and Hooks
Claude Code offers four extension types. After building 95 hooks, 44 skills, and dozens of commands, I learned which abstraction fits which problem.
AI DevelopmentVibe Coding vs. Engineering: Where I Draw the Line
I use Claude Code daily with 86 hooks and a full quality gate system. Here's where I vibe code, where I engineer, and why the boundary matters.
AI & TechnologyBuilding AI Systems: From RAG to Agents
I built a 3,500-line agent system with 86 hooks and consensus validation. Here's what I learned about RAG, fine-tuning, and agent orchestration.
AI & TechnologyClaude Code + Cursor: 30 Sessions of Combined Use
I tracked 30 development sessions using Claude Code and Cursor together. The data shows where each tool wins and where the combination fails.
AI DevelopmentDesign Systems for Startups: How I Built Mine Backwards
I built my design system backwards: tokens first, components never. A CLS bug taught me the cost of skipping tokens. I stopped debating when to invest.
Design & UXContext Window Management: 50 Sessions of Data
I measured token consumption across 50 Claude Code sessions. Context exhaustion degrades output before you notice. Here are the patterns that fix it.
AI DevelopmentDecision Timing: The 15x Cost of a Bad Database Choice
I measured the cost of a database decision across three systems. Migration cost grew 15x in three years. A framework for when to decide fast vs slow.
Systems & ProductivityThe Pathless Path: Leaving a 12-Year VP Role to Build
I left VP of Product Design at ZipRecruiter after 12 years to build independently. No plan, no destination, just curiosity and a financial runway.
