Angular's dependency injection model, providing services, etc.

Mental blind-spots, CQRS, Event Sourcing and Bean Soup

A cold Claude instance looked at msw-lens and said "this is just explicit RAG that the developer controls" — and that one sentence reframed the whole project.

The same principle that makes runtime state legible to AI applies to video — the content isn't the artifact, the artifacts around it are.

The assigned-role paradigm puts the AI in a costume. The better move is a relationship where the AI can tell you when *you're* the one who's off.

Ways to use an AI coding assistant as a learning tool — not just a code generator.

The most productive thing I've done lately isn't writing better code — it's building tools designed for my AI assistant to use.

The entire genre of AI prompting hacks misunderstands what's actually happening. You don't need tricks. You need context.

When you're building tools that serve both humans and AI, 'equal footing' hides a real conflict — here's how to name it and resolve it.

What the collaboration that built Stellar taught me about the conditions that make human-AI pair programming genuinely generative.

Which software conventions are load-bearing for correctness, and which are cognitive prosthetics for human working memory — and why the distinction matters more when AI is in the loop.

Fred Brooks, essential vs. accidental complexity, and why the servant framing limits what you can build with AI.

TDRs document reasoning but don't enforce behavior — here's the two-artifact pattern that actually keeps design commitments alive across sessions.

On adding a humans.txt alongside robots.txt and llms.txt — why marking human authorship explicitly matters in a world where it's increasingly easy to make it invisible.

LLM-legible documentation is actually two different problems that require different solutions — here's how to think about both.

The emerging opportunity for library authors to ship AI context as a first-class artifact alongside documentation — not an afterthought, a deliverable.
