  • When Do I Wake Up, and When Am I Done?

    Every unattended run answers two questions. /loop answers one, /goal answers the other, and the trouble starts when you make one fake the job of both.

  • She Gave Me a Paper Form. I Built an App.

    A doctor asked me to track my blood pressure on paper for a few weeks. I built the app instead. It took an afternoon, and it does the one job paper had, better.

  • Training Is Over Before You Arrive

    The model never learns from your chats. It arrived finished. What feels like learning inside a session is context, and it dies when you close the tab.

  • The Frontier Model Is Overqualified

    Most of your token bill goes to summaries, tags, and routing, all billed at genius rates. Open-weight models do the cheap tier for cents.

    The model forgets your repo between every session, so someone re-teaches it the same facts forever. A committed, layered CLAUDE.md is how the repo briefs the model for the whole team and every session that follows.

  • Stratify: The Size of What One Person Ships Now

    A polyglot static-analysis engine. Five languages and six analyses through one model, reaching your terminal, CI, editor, AI agent, and dashboards. I built it solo with the spec-driven loop. The headline is not the tool. It is how little it took.
