A 4-part empirical post-mortem series on building production software with LLMs: from token hangovers and spec over-corrections to compiler panopticons and eval shocks.
The $20 Detox (Part 1): The Infinite Token Hangover
The (Seemingly) Unlimited tokens were exhilarating, revolutionary, ego-massaging, world changing and … unsustainable
The Synthetic Velocity Post-Mortems (Part 2): The Spec Over-Correction
I thought exhaustive specifications and strict rules would tame model non-determinism. Instead, I moved the bloat from code into prompts, and discovered that English sentences are not architectural boundaries.
The Synthetic Velocity Post-Mortems (Part 3): The Compiler Panopticon
Stop writing markdown rulebooks to plead with a probabilistic machine. Wrap the model inside a deterministic compiler panopticon.
The Synthetic Velocity Post-Mortems (Part 4): The Empirical Eval Shock
An uncalibrated AI evaluation is just a codified bias. Ground truth does not care about your prompt engineering.
Leadership Philosophy
Full-cycle product discovery and engineering delivery.
High-velocity AI generation produces functional code quickly, but production reliability requires architectural boundaries that probabilistic models cannot invent.
My work bridges customer discovery (identifying workflow inertia and human habits), pragmatic architecture (small deterministic modules over infinite prompt context), and commercial GTM.
