When one context window isn't enough
Splitting a single AI agent into a team didn't just change the workflow — it changed how context flows through the whole system.
I was the validator all along
My AI coding setup worked — until I noticed I was spending more time checking output than building. The fix was giving the validation job to another agent.
What happens when the apprenticeship gets automated?
The tedious work of program management was never just overhead. It was also how we learned the craft. AI is automating that path — and nobody's talking about what replaces it.
Your .md files are a memory architecture (you just don't call it that)
The manual context management patterns that work today map surprisingly well to the agent memory architectures being built for tomorrow.
A starter prompt that actually remembers what you told it
I rebuilt my Claude Code starter prompt around .md files as external memory. Here's why and how.
Context hygiene: why your AI forgets what matters and what to do about it
The biggest bottleneck in long-running AI sessions isn't model intelligence — it's context management. Here's what I've learned about keeping AI on track across complex, multi-sess...
Hacking the Heat: Retrofitting Adax Heaters with ESPHome and Custom PCBs
A multi-phase journey from cloud-dependent heating to fully local, custom-hardware control.
Why I built this blog with Express instead of a static site generator
There are faster ways to ship a blog. I picked Express + Handlebars anyway — here's why.
