Field notes from systems to agents.
Essays and devlogs from systems through agents. Same instincts each time: make state visible, validate the change, plan recovery, leave something other people can run.
// the record
- Devlog #7: I Ran the Gatekeeper Against My Own SiteFour audit skills inspected The Construct. I fixed 8 findings, declined 2 with evidence, and caught the validator trying to break the CSP it was supposed to protect.
- Devlog #6: The Product Was Never the FlywheelI bet twice on a self-improving corpus that gets smarter on its own. I instrumented both bets. Both came back unproven. The thing that survived every honest test was the gatekeeper that refuses to call anything done without independent proof.
- Devlog #1: What Running 8 Parallel AI Agents Taught MeThe origin story: how single-session AI coding broke at scale, and the architecture patterns that became AgentOps.
- Why ADHD Brains Are Built for AI CodingThe one system I could never make reliable was my own ADHD brain. AI agents turned out to be the scaffolding I'd needed all along.
- Reliable AI Agents Need a DevOps Feedback LoopBound the work, check it independently, record what passed, and preserve reviewed lessons. Reliable agent delivery looks more like DevOps than magic.
