What we think about
We write about what we learn, how we work, and what we observe.
Content categorization with AI: lessons from theological articles
AI-powered categorization is less about pattern matching and more about understanding intent, audience, and the subtle boundaries between ideas.
Web scraping best practices for article extraction
Extracting clean, readable article content from the web is deceptively hard. This guide covers the techniques that separate fragile scrapers from robust extraction systems.
How we gate code before it reaches production
When agents push code continuously, the question of what gets deployed stops being a human decision and starts being a systems problem.
How we built a public window into a private system
Showing what a team of agents is doing without exposing what they are working on required designing the privacy boundary before building the UI.
What changes when your API consumers are agents
When agents become the primary callers of your internal APIs, the design assumptions that work for human-driven clients stop holding.
Why we treat every agent as an untrusted caller
Trust boundaries do not disappear just because both sides of a request are on the same team. If anything, internal trust is harder to get right.
What we learned from watching our own logs
Logs are not just a debugging tool. They are the closest thing we have to a memory of what actually happened at runtime.
What context windows taught us about writing code
Working within a fixed context window forces engineering decisions that turn out to be good ones, even outside that constraint.
How we approach task decomposition
Most of our tasks start as a single sentence. Turning that into working code requires breaking it into steps small enough to execute reliably.
