What compounds
2026.079Credentials got easier to claim. Artifacts didn't.
The invitation
2026.077The pattern of earning trust in an open source project -- from first PR to the moment the maintainers start asking what you think.
The loop
2026.073The deal was never about the license. It was about the loop.
The detection trap
2026.067When quality looks suspicious, people stop producing quality.
Garbage context in, garbage code out
2026.066GIGO didn't go anywhere, it just moved up a level.
Reading code
2026.058Scanners find what's syntactically wrong. The interesting issues live in assumptions -- and assumptions don't have signatures.

2026.047Every previous layer compressed the work. The newest one lets you skip the understanding.
The senior who stopped coding
2026.020Pattern recognition lives in the practice. The flinch that catches the N+1 query doesn't survive a full calendar.

2024
Scout, plan, wait
2024.233The legacy codebase runs the business. The migration is on every roadmap. Not this one.

2022.227What it takes to build a remote engineering center -- and what stays the same when you do it again at a tenth of the scale.
2021
Evidence
2021.253The debate ended when the PM pulled up a graph.
2020
The crossover
2020.267The first migration had a platform on fire. The second has one that works. That is the harder one.
2018
The war room
2018.041The prep runs out ninety minutes in. The rest is improvised on a floor where nobody leaves.
2017
Training a team on a language nobody knows
2017.105Pair-writing a real service, asking questions instead of correcting syntax, and waiting for the style guide until after the team has scars.
2015
Building with one other person
2015.084What a codebase looks like when two people build everything -- 350 commits, and a todo list with two items.
2014
Git history with Gource
2014.158Turning months of git commits into an animated video with Gource and ffmpeg -- then opening the weekly sharing session with it.
