AI ships code.
You ship software.
A weekly, engineering-first newsletter about building with AI without hand-waving the hard parts: intent, architecture, security, and long-term maintenance.
Intent over artifacts
Use AI to explore quickly, then write down intent: decisions, constraints, priorities, and tradeoffs.
Lead the AI
Conventions, structure, and feedback loops that turn “fast” into “shippable” instead of “fragile”.
Responsibility, not magic
AI accelerates creation, but it doesn’t own your risk, upgrades, incidents, or long-term maintenance.
Systems thinking
Architecture, boundaries, failure modes, and operational reality—so the software survives contact with prod.
Reliability loops
Tests, observability, and tight iteration cycles that keep AI output honest as the codebase grows.
Engineering judgment
When the default stack is “whatever the model saw most,” you need principles to choose intentionally.
Weekly Newsletter
Short, opinionated essays on AI-assisted software engineering—focused on what actually breaks in production, and how to build systems you can own.
