AI systems • developer experience • operating notes
Software engineering after coding stops being the bottleneck.
A technical blog — and soon, podcast — about AI agents, LLM systems, architecture, and the operating work that makes software teams move faster.
Podcast-ready
Built for essays today, episode notes tomorrow.
The Vercel direction keeps the site serious and readable, while leaving room for a show format: episode notes, transcripts, guest links, and audio embeds when the podcast is ready.
Editorial promise
Less hot take. More field notes.
Practical essays about AI-assisted engineering, internal platforms, Python systems, and the kind of software work that survives hype cycles.
01
AI-native engineering
Agents, LLM workflows, logic distillation, internal models, and the new boundaries between automation and architecture.
02
Developer leverage
Patterns that make teams faster: better tools, better abstractions, and fewer operational traps.
03
System notes
Concrete implementation details from databases, cloud infrastructure, Python, and web systems.
