Technical writing on AI, agentic engineering, and systems I built. Code included.
Software Will Commoditize
The cost of software converges with the cost of the energy needed to produce it, and most of the enterprise software industry hasn't noticed yet.August 10, 2026
The Free Banana Problem
Why losing all our jobs to AI could be a good thing, and what has to go right during the transition.July 14, 2026
Why the Suits Aren't Seeing ROI on AI
The people signing off on AI architectures have never run Claude Code. The middle layer is where the great filter happens.July 10, 2026
Just Apply Determinism
Agents work best when you give them fast, reliable feedback. Here are the tools I use to do that.July 6, 2026
Training in Orbit
What happens when you try to train a neural network on a GPU that's getting hit by cosmic rays. Turns out the fix is surprisingly simple.March 27, 2026
The Bias Ledger
An LLM lost 4.7% during COVID while the market lost 34%. Then it got fooled by a dead cat bounce in 2022. Both results support the same thesis.February 7, 2026
Closed Loops
How agentic programming changes the fundamental unit of engineering work, and why TypeScript matters more than I expected.January 30, 2026
Scaling
Notes on The Scaling Era: training scale, post-training, and test-time compute as three interest rates compounding together.October 31, 2025
Traffic Lights Considered Harmful
The average driver spends two to three months of their life at red lights. I simulated what happens when autonomous vehicles negotiate intersections directly: 60% less waiting, and a verification gap I don't want to minimize.August 5, 2025
The Intelligence Age
Sam Altman wrote The Intelligence Age. I want to believe the optimistic version, but it skips too quickly past the hard parts. Hopeful about the destination, worried about the path.September 27, 2024
Attention
How attention works in transformers, with the math. This is the mechanism behind models like ChatGPT.June 28, 2024
Agents
An agent is an LLM running in a loop. What makes the loop work, where it breaks, and how far it scales.June 5, 2024
The End of Gas
When does buying a gas car become obviously wrong instead of arguably suboptimal? The math says sooner than most people think.January 5, 2024
