The LLM Moat Is Developer Mindshare
Every new model release is a bid for your default. The real moat isn't intelligence — it's the muscle memory of typing your API key first.
The 120-Second Blind Spot: An Agentic Development Loop Failure
An in-depth analysis of a CI/CD failure loop where an AI agent got trapped in recursive parsing attempts, and how Clojure's structural architecture provides immediate clarity while traditional stacks perpetuate complexity.
The Agentic G-Force Shift
An in-depth analysis of the cognitive load transformation when moving from deterministic development to parallel, multi-agent frameworks. Using "Agentic G-Force" to describe the mental whiplash of managing infinite-speed, parallel execution layers.
Git Workflow Visual Guide: Organizing Local Code vs GitHub Repos
A visual walkthrough of a local Git workflow that separates your own GitHub projects from upstream forks and local experiments, with diagrams for every stage.
Building a Local Mermaid Viewer With the LLM That Can't Draw
Yesterday I wrote about why LLMs repeatedly fail at Mermaid syntax. Today I used one to build a zero-dependency, offline-first Mermaid viewer — and it broke the diagram three times before getting it right.
The Mermaid Loop: Why LLMs Repeatedly Fail at Diagram Syntax
A technical post-mortem on why advanced LLMs repeatedly make the same Mermaid syntax errors, analyzing training priors, tokenization biases, and the lack of inline compiler feedback loops.
How to Maximize Clojure Usage & Minimize Token Quota on Antigravity IDE
A guide on managing token quotas and optimizing LLM usage for Clojure development in Antigravity.
Cognitive G-Force: Collapsing Development Time with Agentic Compilers
A raw reflection on completing 8 multi-system tasks in 46 minutes, and the literal cognitive vertigo of developing at agentic speeds.
AI-First SDLC: Designing for High Velocity and Cognitive Vertigo
An engineering guide to the AI-First Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Learn how to structure agent interactions, build validation boundaries, and survive the literal cognitive fatigue of developing at warp speed.
