A framework gives you a callable agent. To turn that into something a person can actually use — and reuse, and trust, and come back to tomorrow — you need a harness. By framework I mean the runtime that takes a list of messages, dispatches tool calls, and streams a response. Microsoft
I wanted to learn Microsoft Agent Framework. I also knew that once I'd learned it, I'd be using AI to write code in it — like I do with every framework now. Which made the old learning order — read the docs, build toy examples by hand, bring
I have been shipping faster than ever. Infrastructure that would have taken weeks lands in days. Design docs, code reviews, architecture decisions — all moving at a pace I could not have matched alone. The speed is real. The output is real. And that is exactly what made me stop and
I spent a full session designing a geo-restriction system with Claude. Not coding — designing. The kind of work where you are drawing boundaries around entities, deciding what belongs where, and trying not to over-build. The session ran long. Sixteen turns. Multiple course corrections. A design doc came out
Today is April 23rd — National Sovereignty and Children's Day. A day dedicated to children. Though if we are honest, it is really a day that reminds us every other day belongs to them too. As parents living through the rise of AI, we keep hearing the same question.
I wanted Claude Code running on a server — not on my laptop, not tethered to a terminal session I have to keep open. A machine that picks up tickets from Linear, works on them, pushes code, and keeps going while I do something else. So I built it. Terraform, a
Maya is my daughter. She is five and a half and she plays the piano. We practice together five days a week, she and I, sitting at the keys. She already has an Instagram page — maya.on.keys — but it is only videos. The songs she has learned, the milestones,
This is not a story about asking an AI to build something and watching it appear. It is a story about using AI as a deliberate engineering tool — with planning, constraints, and accountability — on a real production project. The Project Live Recorder is a live-TV catchup recording service. It
The first time I tried — and why I came back I had used coding assistants at the beginning of 2025 but after a few tryouts I decided it was still not the right time. Somehow I was unable to control the agent that well — maybe my approach was wrong or
