Our perspective on AI, technology, and building systems that work.
An autonomous pipeline that runs end-to-end but knows when to ask for help. Multi-modal AI orchestration, five constraints, and what it takes to ship.
One catch block in the entire codebase. Everything else raises. Why this is the most productive debugging approach for AI systems in active development.
How we architect secure Azure environments where sensitive health data stays protected while enabling AI/ML research at scale. Architecture beats policy.
Over 90% of developers use AI tools. But CodeRabbit's research found AI-generated code creates 1.7x more issues. Here's how to unlock AI's potential safely.
Document AI, multi-agent review, automated client communications, and enterprise security—built for a CPA firm in four weeks.
The case for showing up with something wrong instead of nothing at all. How building prototypes changes the conversation.
Custom algorithms, real-time proficiency tracking, and AI-generated practice at scale. How we built adaptive math education from first principles.
How to build a service catalog that scales without breaking. Four distinct layers with clear responsibilities and failure boundaries.
Externalize domain knowledge to markdown files. Adding a new genre means adding a file. No code changes, no deployments, no prompt surgery.
How to design, enforce, and maintain tags that don't decay into chaos. Six mandatory tags, four enforcement layers, controlled vocabularies.
A practical framework for testing Terraform and Bicep at every level. Static analysis, plan validation, deployment tests, and policy checks.
Most 'adaptive' platforms just adjust speed. Real adaptation requires modeling what students know, what they don't, and why. Here's how we built it.
How to catch cost overruns before a single resource is created. Build cost estimation into your provisioning pipeline with Infracost.
How we built inventory visibility for a pharma manufacturer in 10 weeks—without replacing their GMP paper records. Layer, don't replace.
How I built an interactive BESS simulator to understand an industry I knew nothing about. Real physics, real learning.
How to build operational dashboards that answer questions at every level. Progressive disclosure beats information overload.
