Long posts on agent architectures, the seam between research and shipping, and predictions you can come back and check.
We now need a sharper distinction between human second brains and agent brains.
I gave an agent one measurable objective: make my site green in PageSpeed Insights. It worked.
As AI labs absorb the independent voices I trusted, the supply of no-team signal keeps thinning.
Tokens are a billing metric. They belong on the finance dashboard, not the engineering one.
HTML can make ideas visible. Markdown keeps the thinking honest.

MCP tool calls cost ~1200 tokens each. CLI commands: ~315. Here's when to use which.
Frontloading reasoning before execution: a workflow for more autonomous AI coding agents.
SDD Agents feel like Planning Mode in Cursor, but broken into clearer, more controlled steps.
An AI agent as an external brain: capturing, connecting, and surfacing patterns across ideas.
Automated vendor monitoring for AI stacks that drift faster than you think.
