Reading arcs across the site
Some pieces only make sense in sequence. These are the named series: multi-part essays, journal arcs traced through a calendar, and book companion pieces. Each one is built to be read in order, but every part also stands alone.
The Decan Log (journal entries)
The 36 decans of the year, each a 10-day cycle anchored to a bright fixed star, journaled in real time. Decanal practice in operation, one star at a time. The framework is documented in The Decan Log book; this is the running record of the practice.

A seven-part series, written in real time across 2025, documenting what it felt like to live through the transformation of software engineering as agent mode arrived. Not the hype, not the theory: the actual experience of working with AI at production stakes, and the patterns that emerged after months of running real systems this way.
