The Repo Shouldn't Get to Vote on Its Own Trust
Two Claude Code trust dialog bypass CVEs in 37 days reveal a load-order failure. One invariant fixes it: interpret no workspace byte until the path is trusted.
AI & TechnologyWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
John Ternus: The Builder CEO
John Ternus becomes Apple CEO on September 1, 2026. Why Tim Cook's successor signals a builder-led era for Apple hardware, AI, and design.
Career & GrowthThe Steve Test: Does the Work Deserve to Exist?
Steve Test vs Jiro Test: a product framework for deciding whether work deserves to exist, holds user trust, and belongs in the whole you are building.
Career & GrowthMinimum Worthy Product
MVP became permission to ship weak work. Minimum Worthy Product is a different standard: ship the smallest product that earns belief.
Career & GrowthThe Workbench I Carry
Steve Jobs's philosophy of invisible craft, operationalized: whole-widget integrity, refusal, and care inside an AI harness built on Claude Code.
AI & TechnologyTaste Is a Technical System
Taste decomposes into constraints, evaluation criteria, pattern recognition, and coherence checks. Each component maps to engineering infrastructure.
AI & TechnologyThe Design Engineer's Agent Stack
Design engineers need agent infrastructure that enforces visual consistency, typography discipline, color compliance, and taste. Here are the six components.
AI & TechnologyThe Agent Operator's Handbook: Supervising What You Can't See
Operating autonomous AI agents is a new discipline. Five responsibilities, a supervision stack, and an intervention framework define what operators do.
AI & TechnologyChat Is the Wrong Interface for AI Agents
Chat works for prompting but fails for agent operations. Six interface patterns replace the scrolling text window with real control surfaces.
AI & TechnologyCybersecurity Is Proof of Work: AI Attacks at $12,500 a Run
Claude Mythos completed a 32-step corporate network attack simulation in 3 of 10 tries. Each attempt cost $12,500 in tokens. Security is now a spending problem.
AI & TechnologyRuntime Defense for Tool-Augmented Agents
ClawGuard demonstrates deterministic tool-call interception works. The Vercel telemetry incident shows why. Runtime defense is the enforceable layer.
AI & TechnologyDark Factory Verification: When No Human Reads the Code
When humans stop reading code, what does the verification layer look like? Mapping the infrastructure required for fully autonomous AI coding.
