Latest
- Building an AI Companion for the World Cup
I built an MCP server that gives any AI assistant structured World Cup data. 18 tools, zero API keys, works offline. Here's why bundled data beats API calls.
- Don't Kill Your Wildie
1930s Hollywood hired chaos agents called Wildies to pitch insane ideas on set. Every industry needs one -- and keeps trying to optimize them out of existence.
- Designing for Invariants
In an era of rapid platform and protocol churn, the smartest move is building systems that survive collapse -- not ones that predict the future.
- Agents Need Surfaces
AI agents are getting better at acting on our behalf, but they have nowhere to land. The web isn't built for them yet.
- Generative Art Is Systems Design
The best generative art projects aren't about aesthetics -- they're about designing systems that produce unexpected outcomes within intentional constraints.
Projects
- Crew
Autonomous agent platform -- 20 AI agents running on a Mac Mini, coordinating via Slack and cron.
- nope.md
Open-source security spec for AI agents -- defines what they can't do, because if they get compromised, those limits are all you've got.
- onview.art
Art Blocks gallery viewer that treats your collection like an exhibition, not a spreadsheet.
