Essays
Your best engineers will stop writing the business logic
Operators will author the rules that run the company, and the interesting engineering job becomes building the factory that makes those rules safe to run.
Agents need a nervous system, not a bigger brain
The next gains in production AI agents come from durable execution and replayable state, not bigger models.
Boring industries are the alpha
An operator's case that the unglamorous corners of the economy, insurance and defense procurement, are where founders and angels find mispriced risk.
When both sides of the API are agents
When your customer's workflows are agentic too, onboarding becomes capability negotiation and the contract itself becomes a schema.
Human-in-the-loop is an architecture, not a checkbox
Real human-in-the-loop means escalation ladders, fail-closed gates, and a deliberate decision about when the human is the fallback and when the human is the product.
The model was speaking fine and lying in JSON
A production voice agent kept dropping calls mid-sentence, and the bug was in the tool-call arguments, not the voice.
Case studies
The destination is the only witness
An open-source engine that gives an agent's irreversible calls an identity the model cannot regenerate, a first-class state for not knowing, and a preregistered benchmark built to kill the engine if it does not earn its place.
Ship the factory, not the service
What happens when you stop hand-writing one backend service per capability and instead build a factory that generates the machinery from a spec, moves the logic into skills a domain expert can author, and gates every change on evals.
Dumbly
A voice intake copilot that fills the form while the caller talks and leaves the operator as the last check instead of the typist.
DaVinci
A personal multi-agent orchestrator that takes a task and a repo and drives it through research, planning, execution, and integration testing, with human review at the gates that matter.
