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.
Signal Scoring Pipeline: Deterministic Knowledge Triage
A 733-line Python pipeline that scores notes across four dimensions and routes 7,700+ items deterministically. The algorithm, weights, and honest results.
Engineering PracticeThe 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 PracticeBoids 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 & TechnologyDesign 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.
Design & UXClaude 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 DevelopmentThe Ralph Loop: How I Run Autonomous AI Agents Overnight
I built an autonomous agent system with stop hooks, spawn budgets, and filesystem memory. Here are the failures and what actually ships code.
AI & TechnologyCritical Yet Kind: Feedback Principles Encoded in 86 Hooks
Google's Project Aristotle found psychological safety predicts team performance. I encoded the same principles into automated code review hooks.
