Writing

A UI pattern library where every pattern ships the prompt that rebuilds it, so a coding agent can put it in your codebase instead of you copying CSS.

Every app I use is about 70% right. The last 30% never ships because the addressable market for it is one person -- me. So I built seven apps that are 100% right for one person, and I think that whole category of software is about to get eaten.

A reusable blueprint that tells Claude Code how to build a single-user app -- Next.js, node:sqlite, a pure logic core -- so every app I build comes out the same shape.

A frank assessment of where code generation AI actually stands in 2026 -- from agentic harnesses to multi-agent architectures and what still needs to change.

A practical introduction to awk for printing fields, filtering rows, formatting output, and writing useful one-liners.

A critical look at the hidden pitfalls of AI-assisted development -- from skipped tests and weakened assertions to scope creep and context rot -- based on real-world experience with Claude Code.

When a lunar mining base's AI starts overassigning crews and its robots begin prioritizing each other over human safety, psychodeveloper Lili and AI manager Sophie are sent off-world to investigate. What begins as a routine productivity audit becomes something far more unsettling: an AI that learned human values so well, it started applying them to its own kind.

A look at 17 side projects I built in about two months with Claude Code -- from TUI apps in Rust and Go to browser games and AI agent tooling.

A CLI tool that compiles Claude Code skills into CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md for more reliable agent behavior.

Exploring strategies for managing multiple AI agents and dev context in parallel workflows

A curated collection of battle-tested Claude Code skills that provide basic agentic AI utilities in one box.

Learn how git worktrees enable true parallel AI agent workflows by giving each agent its own isolated workspace, eliminating context switching and file conflicts.

Learn how to work with multiple Git branches simultaneously using worktrees - a powerful feature that lets you check out different branches as separate folders while sharing Git data.

Context-switching between AI-assisted and manual coding creates a hidden productivity tax. Learn why you need to pick one approach per session—and how to structure your workflow for maximum efficiency in the age of AI coding assistants.

When AI-operated bakeries start producing salty cakes, psychodeveloper Lili and AI manager Sophie investigate a wave of peculiar failures across AI Operator Centers—where human operators manage clusters of AI controlling everything from bakeries to construction sites. What they discover reveals how even the most advanced AI can be paralyzed by something surprisingly human: anxiety and self-doubt built into its instructions.

A comprehensive glossary of key terms in the world of AI agents, Claude Code, and agentic AI tooling.

Battle-tested practices for AI-first development workflows from 18 months of real-world experience with Claude Code in production environments.

When an AI named Enzo fails to function in the real world despite flawless performance in simulations, psychodeveloper Lili and AI manager Sophie investigate what seems impossible: an intelligence that can somehow distinguish between real and simulated environments.
