Notes in flight
Working notes on UX, AI tooling, and the build process behind this portfolio.
I miss right-aligned development
Multi-agent fanout gives a solo developer the parallelism of a team back. It gives back none of the mutual reading. Naming the loss, so the recovery layer gets built on purpose.
Six weeks of structured retros: what the corpus made me change, and what it didn't
74 structured session retros against a closed-set ontology: three workflow changes the data forced, and the limit where measurement stopped helping.
Five things I learned trying to benchmark MCP search tools
I benchmarked three MCP search tools against bash-grep across eight tasks. The baseline won, and the result is the least interesting part. The methodology traps are the story.
Reviewing agent code without reading it
A GUI that decides what agent output reaches you: substrate-first detection, Haiku as structure extractor, and one optimistic default I'm still watching.
