Posts anchored to a specific thing or moment rather than a standalone idea: announcements, dev-logs, and write-ups of projects I have built, plus genuinely short notes not yet worked into an essay. The standalone arguments and meditations live in the essays; the raw longhand practice lives in free writing.

The whole AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam drawn as one kingdom on a single two-sided sheet, checked against current AWS documentation, free to download, print and punch for a binder.
I write constantly about giving complex things a map and a vocabulary. My own blog did not have one. So I directed an agent to read the site as a graph, and the first thing the map did was catch me. A build log, a deliverable, and what I hope to learn as I improve it.
A transparent look at the active workstreams in May 2026: trading systems, animated films, music synthesis, a published book, and an AWS cert study track. All of it agent-directed.
I wrote a book about coding with AI using AI to write it. Now it is on Amazon. Here is what that process taught me, and why I think this is the beginning, not the destination.
Every prototype is one HTML file. Under 50KB. No frameworks, no CDN, no npm. Double-click and play. Pixel Vault is a growing museum of playable game mechanics built from scratch, organized by lineage, and playable forever in any browser. Two published tracks cover 70 years of arcade history and the AI archaeology overlay that shows what the machine sees inside each mechanic.
Velocidad-AI is an open-source Spanish learning engine licensed under GPL-3.0 with twenty reference files including a Cognate Accelerator that unlocks thousands of words, a military-style Field Manual for daily practice, five real-world scenario ladders, six agent prompts, two hundred cloze exercises, and fifteen memory techniques. The reference content is CC BY-SA 4.0, fork it, adapt it, share it. No app, no account, no subscription.
Everything about how we teach languages is backwards. Study, memorize, practice, then maybe speak. I built a system that reverses the order: speak under pressure first, log what breaks, drill the friction, speak again. No app. No gamification. Just markdown files, agent prompts, and real people.
