- Oct 31, 2026Why I started building GAPThe Star Trek computer, a memory that wouldn't stick, and never onboarding an agent the same way twice.
- Oct 26, 2026WISeR isn't one AI toolMedicare's AI prior-auth pilot is six vendors in six states, and what the public records do and don't tell us about it.
- Oct 23, 2026Same model, different harnessWhy the app a coding agent runs inside changes the work you get back, even when the model stays the same.
- Sep 12, 2026The actual pain points of agentic engineeringAfter six months of daily agent use, here's where it breaks down
- Sep 10, 2026Clankers in your codebaseWhat happens when you wire a token launcher into your deploy pipeline
- Sep 8, 2026Fine-tuning MedGemma on your own dataPractical notes on adapting Google's medical vision model with LoRA

- Aug 29, 2025Error recovery needs a stopping ruleFeeding a stack trace back to the model can unstick a call. Doing it forever is how agents spin.
- Aug 25, 2025Human approval belongs before the side effectIf the model can select a dangerous tool, you need a break in the loop before that tool runs. Slack is a channel, not an afterthought.
- Aug 21, 2025An agent should be able to stop and come backIf you cannot serialize the thread, you do not have an agent you can pause. You have a process you hope stays up.
- Aug 18, 2025The context window is an application interfacePrompts and context are code. If a framework hides the tokens, you cannot tune the only interface the model has.
- Aug 15, 2025Your agent does not need to own the workflowMost of a good agent is still your code. The model only names the next structured step.
