Start here

If you have just landed here, this is the entry route I would suggest. Pick the line that sounds most like you.

I am sceptical of AI hype but I use the tools daily

Start with From AI Skeptic to Constant Collaborator — the long version of how I changed my mind. Then Money for Nothing for the why behind the discipline, and Encode It, Don’t Remember It for what changes about the day job.

I lead engineers and I am trying to separate real change from theatre

Start with The more an AI can break, the less you let it do — a production incident with the agent kept deliberately at arm’s length. Then Why You Shouldn’t Speedrun a Production Refactor on what the easy version of “let AI do it” actually costs. Finally The Best Part Has No AI in It on where the leverage really is.

I want the game-dev story start to finish

Start with Sky Islands — the original board game prototype, before any of this grew legs. Then walk forward chronologically from the game-development tag. Finally… A Wild MVP Appears is the three-month milestone.

I want to see what AI in production actually looks like

The case studies tag has the named-incident posts: the trading engine that ran for forty-five minutes, the GDPR-shaped basket table, the 280-file refactor that became unshippable, the OpenSearch cache nobody on the team understood.

I want to practise this stuff

How I Learnt to Stop Worrying and Love Agentic Katas is the entry point. The agentic-katas repo has the exercises themselves.


For everything else: the blog is chronological with thread groupings, and topics is the cross-cutting view.
