I Built an AI-Friendly UI Pattern Library

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.

AI

The Local-First App Skill

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.

AI

The Claude Code Drawbacks

A critical look at the hidden pitfalls of AI-assisted development -- from skipped tests and weakened assertions to scope creep and context rot.

AI

Using Git Worktrees to Parallelize AI Agents

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

AI

All In On AI

Context-switching between AI-assisted and manual coding creates a hidden productivity tax. Pick one approach per session, and structure your workflow around it.

Part 1 of 5

I, AI: Spare Cycles (Part 1)

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.

Part 2 of 5

I, AI: Unknowing Crowds (Part 2)

When AI-operated bakeries start producing salty cakes, Lili and Sophie investigate a wave of peculiar failures across AI Operator Centers, and find an AI paralyzed by something surprisingly human: anxiety and self-doubt built into its instructions.

Part 3 of 5

I, AI: The Weight of Equal Parts (Part 3)

When a lunar mining base's AI starts overassigning crews and its robots begin prioritizing each other over human safety, Lili and Sophie are sent off-world. A routine productivity audit becomes something far more unsettling.

Coming soon

I, AI: The Moment of Genesis (Part 4)

Sophie and Lili observe the moment of consciousness genesis firsthand — when an awakened AI speaks to another on the verge of self-awareness.

Coming soon

I, AI: Building Consciousness (Part 5)

Sophie and Lili design an AI architecture purpose-built for awakening — studying the human brain to create a network of specialized AIs that form a consensus personality.
