Stop Being the Loop
The shift from prompting AI to engineering loops — and what it means for our team.

Notes on building & shipping
Thoughts on architecture, engineering, and building real things — often with AI in the loop.

Stop Babysitting Your AI Agents
Give agents a way to check their own work, run several in parallel, and let them loop in the background — the way the Claude Code team works internally.

Give Your Coding Assistant a Map Instead of a Flashlight
Stop paying tokens to re-read the same files every session. Graphify builds a one-time knowledge graph your AI assistant queries instead of grepping — fewer reads, faster answers, lower token bills.

The AI Stack Is Maturing — And So Should How We Use It
Cheap, unlimited AI is winding down, and the craft is maturing from prompt to context to harness engineering. The value now is in better scaffolding, not more tokens.

The Most Expensive Code You'll Ever Write Is the Code You Don't Design
AI made writing code trivial — which is why a tangled, undesigned codebase is now the most expensive thing you can own. Matt Pocock's case for why design, not prompting, is still the job.

Stop Stashing, Start Worktree-ing: A Faster Way to Juggle Git Branches
Stop stashing every time a PR review or prod hotfix interrupts your flow. git worktree checks out multiple branches at once, each in its own folder, all backed by one repo — no re-index, no waiting.

Critical Thinking: Key Skill for Software Developers
AI generates plausible code fast — but plausible isn't correct. Why critical thinking is the core developer skill, and why AI makes it matter more, not less.

Code Is Cheap Now. Software Isn't.
AI crushed the cost of writing code — not the cost of understanding a problem. Why we're entering an era of personal, disposable software, and why lasting systems still need real engineering.

Don't Outsource Thinking to an LLM
An LLM can't own your system's architecture — only you can. LLMs are excellent executors, not architects. Think first, decide the design explicitly, and use the model to execute, explore, and explain.

Secure Your Frontend with npm audit
Known vulnerabilities in your dependencies can expose your app to real harm. How to run npm audit, read the report, fix what's fixable, handle the rest by hand, and gate CI on high and critical issues.
