Metacognitive AI: Teaching Your Agent Self-Evaluation
Most agent instructions define behavior. The missing layer teaches self-evaluation. False evidence gates, seven named failure modes, and hedging detection.
AI & TechnologyWriting
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 & TechnologyBoids to Agents: Flocking Rules for AI Systems
Craig Reynolds' 1986 boids algorithm produces flocking from three local rules. The same principles and failure modes appear in multi-agent AI systems.
Interactive ExplorationsNothing 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 & 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 & TechnologyThe 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.
Career & GrowthBuilding 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 DevelopmentContext 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 DevelopmentDesign Careers That Survive AI: Judgment Over Tools
After 12 years as VP of Product Design, I watched three paradigm shifts. The skills that survived every one are the same skills AI can't replace.
