04 / Writing
Notes from the lab
Engineering notes, experiments, and the occasional release. Written as we go, so expect working detail over polish.
01Designing reliable AI workflowsMost agent failures are not model failures. They are workflow failures. Here is the shape we keep arriving at when the output has to be right.02What we log when an agent failsThe exact fields we record for every step of an agent run, and why each one has earned its place during an incident.03Building local-first softwareNotes from building quiet-index, a retrieval tool where the data never leaves the machine. What local-first buys you, and what it costs.04Introducing portwayA small gateway for routing and rate-limiting internal service traffic. Built because the alternatives were either too much or too little.
