There is a peculiar modern habit that rarely receives the attention it deserves. A person can spend an entire day in conversation without speaking to anyone at all.The dialogue happens while driving to work, while scrolling through social media, while replaying an argument from three years ago, while imagining a future disaster that may never arrive. The voice is familiar because it belongs to us....
My thoughts and my twitter’s feeds thoughtsThis week was all about the ‘loop’ and Fable.The LoopThe best way I can describe it is: design the flowchart. Think of the deterministic flowchart on how you want your agents to work.Aim to have: more deterministic bits - this keeps things more predictablemore verification bits - this is agent feedbackmore useful tool calls - tests, logs, screenshots, rep...
There is a peculiar irony in modern success. The more ambitious people become, the less likely they are to admit exhaustion. Burnout is discussed openly, yet often worn as a badge of honour. Calendars overflow, notifications multiply, and the ability to remain constantly busy is frequently mistaken for evidence of importance. Somewhere along the way, achievement stopped being a destination and bec...

AI-assisted notes from my liked-tweets feed, organized around agent workflows, browser traces, model loops, and guardrails.Practical takeawaysStart with the workflow, not the agent. A useful agent task has a source of truth, a narrow action, a verifier, and a stop condition. “Review this repo” is vague. “Find auth bugs in these routes, cite file lines, run the relevant tests, and stop after the fi...
There’s a very specific kind of silence that happens during an outage.Not the peaceful kind.The heavy kind.Pipelines jammed. Builds failing. Deployments blocked. Every engineer slowly realizing that nothing new was shipping until someone figured this out.The root cause sounded almost stupid for the scale of damage it caused.It all started way before and I was at my desk.Near my desk, both the SRE ...
There was a time when motivation, for me, was simple.Do the work. Get the result. Feel good about it. Repeat.It felt clean. Predictable. Almost mechanical.And then I read Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink… and that simplicity started to fall apart.Not dramatically.But quietly… like realizing something you’ve always believed might not be entirely true.At its core...
There’s a certain kind of silence that comes after you hear advice repeated too many times.“Follow your passion.”It sounds good. It feels right. It almost has to be true.And then a book like So Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal Newport walks in — not loudly, not aggressively — but with the kind of calm certainty that makes you uncomfortable.Because it doesn’t just question that advice.It quietly d...
