Short notes, essays, and frameworks from what we are building and reading. Some become experiments; all record what we are thinking now.
Scaling coding agents also means scaling the system that verifies their work. At TwelveApart, RoughPatch's agents outran our CI, so we moved integration onto the machine that already runs them.
Coding agents write most of the code I ship. Each time I added structure to keep up, the bottleneck moved up a layer. Better models don't reduce the need for structure. They increase the need for faster alignment.
