The Inverse Architecture: Building the System That Builds the Systems
Four months ago I introduced Composer, my AI software factory. Since then it's shipped 642 pull requests for about $4K — and I've stopped reading the code. Here's the architecture everyone else is chasing backwards.
Trust, but Verify: Letting AI Drive a Production Migration
Over four days, Claude rebuilt Leaderboard's entire golf data pipeline onto a new provider — new API client, a re-keyed production database, a zero-downtime cutover. I barely wrote a line. My job was to challenge every step, and a few times that's exactly what saved it.
How I Accidentally Used Claude as a Backup System
My autonomous agent platform marked a task DONE but never opened the PR — and then the worktree got cleaned up, taking 1,300 lines of validated work with it. Except it wasn't gone. Claude had been keeping a backup I never asked for.
My Remote Agent Experiment: From Cloud Agents to My Own AI Dev Team
OpenClaw didn't work out. Cloud agents frustrated me. So I built my own orchestration platform — six AI agents that design, review, build, test, and document code while I sleep. Here's the story of Composer.
When AI Plays Your Cards
I built an AI poker tutor with two LLM-powered agents — one plays against you, the other coaches you. Here's the story of building The Nut, and what it taught me about where AI actually belongs in a game.
My Remote Agent Experiment: OpenClaw, Honest Results, and a Plot Twist from Anthropic
I set up a dedicated M4 Mac Mini running OpenClaw as a remote coding agent — isolated network, its own Apple ID, Slack interface. The vision was beautiful. The results were not. Then Anthropic announced exactly what I actually needed.
From Custom AI Plumbing to Spring AI 1.1: How Native Tool Calling Transformed Our Caddie Agent
How migrating from a hand-rolled AI tool-calling system to Spring AI 1.1's native tool support cut our orchestration code nearly in half—and made adding new capabilities trivial.
2025 Year in Review: The Evolution of an Agentic Engineer
How a 26-year veteran developer went from vibe coding to orchestrating AI agents—and shipped 367,000 lines of code across two platforms in eight months. A reflection on growth, process, and why experience still matters in the age of AI.
An Inside Look Into Distributing Development Tasks Across Cloud and Local AI Agents
How I orchestrate cloud agents, local agents, and git worktrees to tackle multiple GitHub issues in parallel—and why spreading the load across compute environments has changed how I think about velocity.
Agentic Spec Writing: How I Use Claude and GitHub CLI to Turn Fuzzy Ideas into Phased Issues
How a custom Claude Code spec-writer command, wired into GitHub CLI and a wall of standards, lets me turn vague feature ideas into precise, 3–8 hour GitHub issues at high velocity.
From Solo Dev to Dev Team: Process Workflow and AI Agents Orchestration Are Multiplying My Output
My evolution from using basic AI coding assistants to orchestrating a full cloud and local AI agent workflow that's producing software at 10-20x my professional pace.
