Thoughts on design systems, product management, and building tools that amplify human capability.
A field-tested catalog of eight deterministic grep patterns for auditing AI-assisted codebases. The first run on a nine-month-old project surfaced sixteen findings including three production-active critical bugs — all dropped during handoffs between Claude model versions, all findable in under two minutes.
A product teardown of Wispr Flow's onboarding — how instant quantifiable data and meaningful incentives turn curiosity into habit.
A technical walkthrough of using AI-assisted development to build a production lyric video from scratch — audio transcription, word-level sync, animated effects, and multi-format rendering in React.
A counterintuitive lesson from building AI-powered applications: prompt instructions are suggestions, not constraints. The fix is a named pattern — Per-Entity Isolation — that makes the unwanted behavior structurally impossible.
