Writing
What we're learning by building
Observations, lessons, and practical insights from building middleware solutions, tools, and agentic systems — and exploring the challenges of connecting foundation models to real-world workflows.
What we publish
Our writing emerges from building and operating real systems. These formats help us document observations, examine decisions, share practical guidance, and learn from failures.
Build Note
A decision, experiment, implementation detail, or lesson encountered while building. Short, specific, and grounded in practice.
Deep Dive
A comprehensive examination of a technical topic, system, protocol, or architectural tradeoff from first principles through implementation.
Field Guide
A practical reference for builders facing a specific problem. Focused on patterns, frameworks, and repeatable approaches rather than theory.
Failure Report
An honest account of a system failure, incorrect assumption, or flawed design decision, including the evidence, impact, and lessons learned.
Latest Writing
Our writing emerges from building and operating real systems. We document the lessons, decisions, failures, and patterns that seem useful beyond a single project.
How we writeSignal, not noise.
Focused newsletter for builders and knowledge workers tracking how AI is changing real work. We surface what matters in practice, not every headline. Curated for practitioners, not spectators.
