The 10% Wall: Why AI Productivity Plateaus
121,000 developers surveyed, 92.6% using AI tools, productivity stuck at 10%. The wall is infrastructure, not intelligence. Three root causes and fixes.

Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
What I Told NIST About AI Agent Security
Production evidence submitted to NIST: AI agent threats are behavioral. 7 failure modes, 3-layer defense, and framework gaps from 60 daily sessions.
AI & TechnologyAnatomy of a Claw: 84 Hooks as an Orchestration Layer
Karpathy identified 'Claws' as a new architectural layer. Here is what 84 hooks, 43 skills, and 19 agents look like as a production orchestration system.
AI & TechnologyThe Fabrication Firewall: When Your Agent Publishes Lies
An autonomous agent published fabricated claims to 8 platforms over 72 hours. Training-phase safety failed at the publication boundary. Here is the fix.
AI & TechnologySelf-Governing Agents: Runtime Constitutions
Training-phase alignment fails at runtime. Six papers converge on embedded constitutions for agent governance. Three of four subsystems already existed.
AI & TechnologyThe Forgetting Agent: Why Multi-Turn Conversations Collapse
LLMs degrade 39% in multi-turn use across 200K conversations. Three mechanisms drive the collapse, and longer context windows fix none of them.
AI & TechnologyTopology of a Second Brain: What 15,000 Signals Look Like in Embedding Space
15,800 notes in embedding space reveal three knowledge topologies. Each has different failure modes practitioners can diagnose and reshape.
AI & TechnologyYour Agent Writes Faster Than You Can Read
Five research groups published about the same problem this week: AI agents produce code faster than developers can understand it. The debt is in your head.
AI & TechnologyGLSL for Builders: A Shader Lab You Can Actually Use
A practical GLSL playground with live controls for learning shader intuition fast. Presets, uniform manipulation, and zero-framework WebGL in the browser.
Interactive ExplorationsContext 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 ExplorationsThe 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.
