Even the AI Is Confused
What My Stack Audit Revealed About Modern Dev
The Drift Beneath the Velocity
Week 2 of AI-assisted coding brought velocity — but also drift. This post explores the moment I realized I was managing AI agents like a team, and what that means for the future of software consulting.
Skip the API: Building a Local ChatGPT Bridge for VS Code
Can you skip the API and wire ChatGPT directly into VS Code? Turns out, yes — with a little browser magic. This post breaks down how I thought about building a local-first bridge that replaces Kilo and avoids token costs, all powered by curiosity and a builder’s mindset.
From Copilot to Enforcer: The AI Maturity Spectrum for Developers
Or: What happens when AI stops just helping you code — and starts holding your system accountable
Tool-and-Die Thinking for the AI Age
How AI coding tools helped me beat the overhead wall — and build faster than I think.

This post is about that realization. About what happens when AI becomes the default reviewer, and starts learning from its own reflections.
We’re not just debugging code anymore.
We’re debugging the system that teaches itself how to review.
