Building better products, faster - with AI.
Agentic development patterns, frameworks, and notes from the frontier of AI-native product building - plus 25 years of hard-won lessons from shipping and scaling tech companies. Also home to side projects like SortFlex and Longevity OS, all built with agentic workflows. 23 articles and growing.
On the Loop - Leading AI Is an Empowerment Problem
Kief Morris's agentic flywheel, published on Martin Fowler's site, lands almost word for word on the same principles Marty Cagan and Reed Hastings have been preaching for decades. Leading AI agents isn't a new discipline. It's empowered product management with a new kind of teammate.
Vibe Coding in Prod Is a Management Problem, Not a Coding Problem
Eric Schluntz (Anthropic) argues the real challenge of AI-assisted engineering is the oldest one in management - how do you verify work you can't read yourself? My take on leaf nodes, the 22,000-line PR, and why being Claude's PM is the new engineering craft.
PLAID in Practice - I Ran a Real Product Idea Through This Idea-to-Launch Skill
A hands-on test of PLAID, a Claude Code skill that takes a founder from raw idea to PRD, roadmap, and go-to-market plan. What worked, what didn't, and where it fits next to Osmani's agent-skills and Spec Kit.
The Last Bottleneck - Brains, Bodies, and Memory
One person can now build what used to take a team of fifty. Here's the tectonic shift - and what I'm already seeing in my own work with AI agents, orchestration frameworks, and persistent memory layers.
The 15 MCPs & Skills That Supercharge My Claude Code Setup
The most important MCP servers and Claude Code skills I use to boost agentic AI productivity - what they do, why they matter, and copy-paste install instructions for each one.
The Skills Framework - From Vibe Coding to Production-Grade Agentic Engineering
Why Anthropic's Agent Skills and Addy Osmani's skills framework are the missing discipline layer for serious AI-assisted software engineering - and how they compare to GitHub's Spec Kit.
Wiring Gemma 4 Into Claude Code - A Practical Local-Plus-Cloud Setup
A step-by-step guide to running Gemma 4 locally via LM Studio and calling it from inside a Claude Code session - for offline reasoning, batch processing, privacy-sensitive data, and zero-cost first-pass drafts that hand off to Claude when you need the heavy hitter.
Claude Code Ultraplan - Planning Moves to the Cloud
Anthropic just shipped a hidden Claude Code feature called Ultraplan. Instead of planning locally, your session is offloaded to a multi-agent Opus 4.6 swarm in the cloud that builds a richer, faster, more structured plan - and then teleports it back to your terminal for execution.
gstack - Garry Tan's Framework That Turns Claude Code Into a Virtual Engineering Team
How the Y Combinator CEO's open-source toolkit structures AI coding around 23 specialist roles - from product review to security auditing - and why the role decomposition pattern matters more than the tool itself.
From Terminal to Factory - Running Headless AI Agents 24/7
The step-by-step guide to transitioning from local Claude Code sessions to persistent, headless backend agents you control from your phone. Dispatch, remote control, agent teams, and event-driven automation.
Running Gemma 4 Locally: Frontier-Class, Zero Cost
Google's Gemma 4 26B runs locally on Apple Silicon, scoring within single digits of GPT-5.2 and Claude Opus 4.5 on reasoning benchmarks - reshaping the local-plus-cloud AI coding workflow.
The Perfect CLAUDE.md for Enterprise Software Engineering
How I use CLAUDE.md files to encode engineering excellence standards - turning tribal knowledge into enforceable, AI-augmented guardrails for building enterprise-grade SaaS.
Running Local LLMs - Qwen3-Coder, DeepSeek, MLX, and Apple Silicon
A practical guide to running powerful language models locally on Apple Silicon - model selection, MLX vs Ollama, quantization trade-offs, and when local beats cloud.
Agentic Development Patterns - Building Software with AI Agents
Practical patterns and workflows for agentic software development using Claude Code, Cursor, and local LLMs - from parallel workstreams to overnight agent factories.
Longevity OS - Gamifying Longevity Science
A React Native app that turns longevity optimization into a game - with a Longevity Impact Score, 2,000+ food database, daily checklists, streaks, and achievements grounded in peer-reviewed science.
SortFlex - 3D Configurator for Custom Holders & Mounts
A browser-based 3D design tool for custom holders, organizers, and mounts. Drag and drop everyday items onto a base plate, then 3D print at home or order a printed version shipped to your door.
AI-Driven Development - Agentic Coding in 2026
How agentic AI has transformed software development - from pair programming to autonomous coding agents, overnight agent factories, and vibe coding.
AI Product and Tech Resources
A curated collection of the most important AI tools, frameworks, and resources for product and tech leaders - updated for the agentic era.
Three-Tier AI Architecture - Deterministic Rules, ML Models, and LLM Agents
A practical framework for deciding when to use hard-coded rules, trained ML models, or LLM agents in production AI systems - with real examples from enterprise SaaS.
Prompting in the Agentic Era - From Prompt Engineering to System Design
How prompting has evolved from clever tricks to system-level specification - CLAUDE.md files, structured outputs, tool-use patterns, and when prompting still matters.
AI in a Nutshell - Models, Concepts, and the 2026 Landscape
A concise overview of AI models, fundamental concepts, and the current state of AI engineering - from frontier models to local LLMs and agentic systems.
The Overnight Agent Factory - Autonomous Development with Claude Code & Cursor
How I run parallel AI agents overnight to build production software while I sleep.
Applied AI & ML Ops - From Traditional MLOps to Agentic Infrastructure
How to bridge the gap between AI research and production - from classical MLOps to MCP servers, tool-use APIs, RAG pipelines, and agentic system infrastructure.
