Why my site has a rate card now
I shipped a partnerships page. This is the why-now: capacity, an inbox auto-classifier I haven't built yet, and the years of compounding work that made it the right moment to tie it together.

My AI Agent Has a Mechanic Agent
Hermes was producing shallow responses. Instead of debugging from the inside, I opened Claude Code, SSH'd into the EC2 instance, found the throttled context window, fixed it, and restarted the gateway. Hermes woke up improved — without knowing it happened.

Untethered Productivity: My Talk at AI Engineering London
I gave a talk at AI Engineering London about staying healthy, creative, and shipping while working with AI coding agents. The core idea: the agents scale infinitely, but your nervous system doesn't. Here's the full recap.

Skills at Scale: Our Workshop at AI Engineering London
Nick Nisi and I ran an 80-minute hands-on workshop at AI Engineering London on building Claude Code skills that are portable, executable, and composable. We taught constraints over instructions, evidence over guesses, and measurement over vibes.

Live on the Scaling Devtools Podcast at AI Engineering London
I sat down with Jack Bridger on the Scaling Devtools podcast at AI Engineering London to talk about how WorkOS builds with AI coding agents, the patterns behind portable skills, and where developer tooling is heading.
