Notes
Short pieces about the methodology and architecture decisions behind the AI systems I ship — specs, evals, multi-agent orchestration, LLM integration, and the discipline of directing coding agents.

Building got cheap. Ideas didn't.
Coding agents removed the constraint that defined software for decades — the ability to build. When building gets cheap, the competition moves up the stack to the thing that was always the real bottleneck: taste, market judgment, and the nerve to ship. A field note on what actually wins now.

The spec is the artifact, not the prompt
When agent behavior lands via spec PRs instead of prompt edits, the team reasons about agents the way it reasons about code. Here's what that looks like in practice and why it works.

Directing coding agents, not writing code
A short note on what changes when the implementation layer is an agent — what stays the same, what disappears, and where the new bottleneck lives.

Evals or it didn't ship
Why I refuse to ship an agent without a held-out evaluation set, what makes one useful, and the failure mode I keep seeing when teams skip this.
