A reusable project template for AI‑assisted coding

8 March 2026

After more than a year of experimenting with AI assisted coding the interesting part for me is no longer “can the model do this?” but “what’s the structure and process that actually makes this work?” This project template is where I have ended up, and that now kick starts my projects.

Building with Claude Code (without touching the keyboard much)

1 March 2026

Seven or eight real apps built with Claude Code, zero “actual” coding from me. A new white paper just described my workflow so precisely it felt like reading my own brain - so here’s how I actually do it.

Are your CLAUDE.md files guzzling up your tokens?

21 February 2026

Just grokked: CLAUDE.md files are sent with EVERY request. My rich 700+ line memory for 'do this task' seemed suddenly wasteful. Refactored to act as library index. 📉 Result: 730 → 442 lines (67% reduction). 30 min discussion, 2 min execution.

Make the AIs argue with themselves

18 February 2026

What if the best way to get great code from AI is to make it politely argue with itself? I tried the "antagonist agent" approach from a Claude Code event — and it genuinely feels like having a team. 🤖⚔️🤖

Agentic coding reaching ever higher heights

12 February 2026

Given the right setup and guardrails coding agents become more and more productive, as shown in a recent article from OpenAI. What I find striking is how well their findings for maintaining context and high quality output align with how a high functioning team would work.

Is the future channeling Charles Stross or Iain M Banks?

11 November 2025

China's betting on AI while the West argues culture wars. Are we heading for Banks' utopian Culture — or something darker? Two reads that made me feel like we're standing at a civilisational fork in the road.

The enshittification of talent?

23 October 2025

The "AI Swiss Army knife" hype isn't empowering young talent. It's a cost-cutting memo dressed up as a compliment. Generalists have always been the glue of great teams. Let's not confuse accessibility of tools with depth of craft.
