Human in the Loop
Notes on building software, working with AI, and what I learn along the way.
Real projects, useful experiments, and the occasional change of mind. Delivered when I have something worth sharing.
Topics I Cover
Building with AI
How I use coding agents to build products and open-source tools, including the experiments that work and the ones I abandon.
Directing the work
Planning, delegating, and reviewing agent-built software. What I hand off, where I stay involved, and how I decide something is ready to ship.
Context and memory
Giving agents the background they need and keeping decisions useful across sessions, so each conversation doesn’t start from scratch.
AI beyond the codebase
What AI changes for businesses, from everyday workflows to how customers discover them through search and AI answers.
