The 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 PracticeWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Context 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 & TechnologyNothing 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. 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 DevelopmentMental Compound Interest: How Cross-Domain Knowledge Built My Best Tools
Design + engineering + AI produced tools none of those skills alone could build. An interactive calculator and the cross-domain advantage in practice.
Systems & ProductivityContext Window Management: What 50 Sessions Taught Me About AI Development
I measured token consumption across 50 Claude Code sessions. Context exhaustion degrades output before you notice. Here are the patterns that fix it.
AI DevelopmentCompounding Engineering: How My Codebase Accelerates Instead of Decaying
Most codebases slow down as they grow. Mine accelerates. 95 hooks, 44 skills, and 14 configs make each feature cheaper than the last.
AI & TechnologyType Scales: How I Chose 13 Steps and Why the Ratio Matters
My site uses a 13-step type scale from 12px to 80px. How I chose the ratio, why system fonts outperform custom fonts, and what the squint test reveals.
Design & UXThe Pathless Path: How I Left a 12-Year VP Role to Build 12 Projects
I left VP of Product Design at ZipRecruiter after 12 years to build independently. No plan, no destination, just curiosity and a financial runway.
Career & GrowthCritical Yet Kind: How I Encoded Feedback Principles into 86 Hooks
Google's Project Aristotle found psychological safety predicts team performance. I encoded the same principles into automated code review hooks.
