Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
Apple's Liquid Glass is a one-line SwiftUI API. Three patterns from Return go beyond .glassEffect(): glass on text via Core Text glyph paths, mirror reflection, and HUD overlays.
AI & TechnologyReal production patterns from Water (water tracking, HKQuantitySample) and Return (mindful sessions, HKCategorySample). Permission UX, async wrappers, watchOS variants, and the trap to avoid.
AI & TechnologyReturn runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. Three Swift files are shared across all five targets out of 40 total. The rest is duplicated, and that is on purpose.
AI & TechnologyI shipped an App Intent in Water on Feb 8, 2026. Here's what Apple Intelligence wants from third-party apps in iOS 26, and why App Intents are the contract that matters.
AI & TechnologyCharlie Labs pivoted from building agents to cleaning up after them. The AI agent market is moving from generation to proof. Cleanup is the durable layer.
AI & TechnologyAI agents fail when answers claim tool work that never happened. Four failure modes and the rule that catches them, with a tool-supervised RL parallel.
AI & TechnologyTwo 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 & TechnologySteve Jobs's philosophy of invisible craft, operationalized: whole-widget integrity, refusal, and care inside an AI harness built on Claude Code.
AI & TechnologyOperating autonomous AI agents is a new discipline. Five responsibilities, a supervision stack, and an intervention framework define what operators do.
AI & TechnologyChat works for prompting but fails for agent operations. Six interface patterns replace the scrolling text window with real control surfaces.
AI & TechnologyTaste decomposes into constraints, evaluation criteria, pattern recognition, and coherence checks. Each component maps to engineering infrastructure.
AI & TechnologyDesign engineers need agent infrastructure that enforces visual consistency, typography discipline, color compliance, and taste. Here are the six components.
