Becoming a tech lead was the goal from pretty early in my career. I had a clear picture of what the role was. More responsibility, more influence over the work, more of the interesting problems landing on my desk because someone had to figure them out and that someone, finally, would be me. It read like the natural next step. The thing you graduate to once you're good enough. What that picture did
When you build a PowerShell project from multiple files, the natural structure is clear: enums first, then classes, then functions. Each group has its own place, and as long as dependencies only flow in one direction, that structure works perfectly. But sometimes a function depends on a class, and that class calls the function. There is no longer a clean boundary between the two groups — they need
The drift problem nobody told you about If you have used Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, or any other AI coding agent across more than two projects, you have felt this: You start project A. You copy the .agents/ folder (or CLAUDE.md, or .cursorrules) from your last project. You tweak two things. Done. You start project B six weeks later. You copy from project A. You tweak three things this time. Now
Cross-posted from the Stigmem blog. Today we're releasing stigmem v1.0: A stable, open-source specification and reference implementation for a federated knowledge fabric for AI agents. Stigmem = Stigmergy + Memory. Stigmergy (Greek stigma — mark; ergon — work) is the coordination mechanism you see in ant colonies and termite mounds: agents don't communicate directly with each other. Instead, they
More rules should mean better output. That's the intuition. I spent weeks building a comprehensive CLAUDE.md — 200 lines covering naming conventions, security rules, error handling, architectural patterns, import ordering, type safety requirements, and more. I was proud of it. I'd thought through every scenario. Then I scored the output. 79.0 / 100. My carefully crafted documentation was actively

I have been meaning to upgrade my personal site to Astro 6 for a while. The release notes sat in my open tabs for weeks, and every time I sat down to do it, I found an excuse to work on something else. This week, I finally ran out of excuses. I carved out an afternoon, ran npx @astrojs/upgrade, crossed my fingers, and expected a smooth ride. The dev server crashed immediately with a cryptic error
For years, I called myself a web designer. Then a developer. Then a digital consultant. None of those titles ever felt quite right. Because clients weren't just asking me to build things. They were asking me to solve problems. Slow sites, broken checkouts, confusing navigation, teams that couldn't figure out how to update their own content. That's when I realized what a technology solutions profes
