Essays and field notes on agentic AI, analytics architecture, and the engineering decisions behind them.
The machine has won the productivity race, and in doing so it has exposed the boundaries of the mechanical mind. What is left to us is a six-stage cycle for designing communication that deprograms rather than transmits — and four rules for running it on Slack.
I wanted an AI that lived on my OS rather than in a browser tab — one that could see my screen and take over my mouse. Here is the three-layer architecture, and how I shipped it by directing a team of coding agents instead of writing it all myself.
