Over the past year, working with AI-powered development tools has taught me that what started as an “AI harness”—a simple wrapper around an LLM—has evolved into something more industrial: a software factory. A harness is about capability; a factory is about repeatability, auditability, and team ownership. This post describes the architecture I’ve settled on for… Continue reading From AI Harness to Software Factory: A Practical Agentic Engineering Stack

Human Touch in an Agentic Codebase
Agentic coding allows more people to participate in software creation; however, it should be evident to anyone serious that someone gain more leverage when they know the real steps of software creation. I benefit from knowing how to create software the artisanal way from the before time. I want to share something that I still… Continue reading Human Touch in an Agentic Codebase
Small List of What I’m Working On
I’m really embracing agentic programming. The coding models have gotten good enough and I’ve obtained enough experience to know what sort of tools to give my agent access to so it can check its work when it stumbles. Bonus: I’m using PeonPing/peon-ping to help me maintain multiple agents while making programming even more like an… Continue reading Small List of What I’m Working On
Local-first, Offline-first Programming with AI: When?
AI usage among programmers has only increased since its introduction. We began with a chat interface that we could query, craft program solutions, and copy + paste into our projects. Then we got AI assisted development patterns where the AI could sit in your editor and provide suggestions. We’re at a stage now where its… Continue reading Local-first, Offline-first Programming with AI: When?
Useful Enums for MediaPipe Hand and Pose Landmarker Model
I’ve been working with Google’s MediaPipe which is a augmented reality (AR) library that can be used on low power devices (such as a phone). Basically MediaPipe is a collection of pre-trained AI that lets a developer do some interesting things. You can use it for single images or video sources such as a webcam.… Continue reading Useful Enums for MediaPipe Hand and Pose Landmarker Model
Robot Talk: The Future of Programming?
Large language models have hit the scene and they represent a large disruption to how work is traditionally done. Programming is no exception. I’ve been using LLMs like chatGPT and copilot for almost a year now. I saw potential of using the tool for my own creator activities. I have some thoughts on how AI… Continue reading Robot Talk: The Future of Programming?
