Latest articles
Every public note on web infrastructure, delivery workflow, tooling, and small-business technology decisions.
build log
How I turned a pile of local and API models into a local Fusion/Fugu-style coding harness: one Conductor, role-assigned workers, mandatory cross-family verification, and the human audit loop that kept the system honest.
field note
A field note on wiring GLM-5.2 into Hermes through Cloudflare Workers AI, hitting quota pressure quickly, and landing on a safer lead/delegate architecture for expensive reasoning models.
setup guide
A real setup for driving NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra (550B-A55B) behind a Hermes agent, including the stale-stream timeout fix, thinking-mode tool-use settings, sampling defaults, and the practical 256K vs 1M context-window tradeoff.
model research analysis
A practical look at GLM-5.2, why its 1M-context claim matters, how IndexShare changes sparse-attention search, and what builders should do differently when exposing sources to coding agents.
technical note
A short note on bringing Canopy Digital into the same publishing fold as the personal technical blog without duplicating the content system.
agent architecture
A practical note on what Claude Fable 5's sudden departure and policy fight changes for serious coding and source-grounding workflows.
technical recovery guide
A backup-first Windows recovery guide for DeepSeek GUI conversations that appear to disappear after an app update changes the local data directory.
ai news analysis
OpenJarvis is trending because it reframes the personal AI assistant as a local-first, measurable, editable agent stack instead of another cloud chat wrapper. Here is what matters, what is hype, and whether it can run on a normal developer PC.
agent architecture
Part 1 of a practical series on mixing DeepSeek V4 Pro, DeepSeek V4 Flash, and local Gemma4-style agents without turning a coding workflow into an expensive committee.
research analysis
A practical comparison of ChatGPT Deep Research and DeepSeek-style reasoning APIs, focused on workflow, retrieval, transparency, and what builders should actually take away.
product strategy
A Windows-focused adaptation of the mobile app factory playbook for the Microsoft Store.
technical decision log
A detailed comparison of Phaser 4.1 and PixiJS 8.18 for a browser-based multiplayer roguelike sailing game with custom water rendering. Why the default choice (Phaser) turned out to be wrong for this project, and how PixiJS's lower-level rendering primitives map more directly to what I'm actually building.
technical blog post
A companion debugging article about GIMP 3 Python plug-in failures on Windows, the misleading libgraphite2/_Unwind_Resume symptom, Pango/GI failures, PATH/DLL pollution, and the Windhawk hook layer.
technical blog post
A real-world repair log and workflow writeup covering a broken GIMP 3.2 install, Windows DLL/runtime conflicts, Windhawk suspicion, PhotoGIMP, G'MIC-Qt, a Fluent-ish theme, and a PixelBoats-ready asset kit.
