Same Game, Different Sand
The best indoor player I ever coached couldn't pass a ball on sand. Same sport. Same skills. Completely different game. I'm living that transition right now.

From Research Paper to Working Toolkit in One Session
I had a 46-citation research paper about autonomous documentation. Academic frameworks rarely survive contact with a real codebase. So I asked an agent to turn theory into working code—and watched what happened.

Spec-Driven Development with Multi-Agent Orchestration
The problem with AI coding assistants isn't capability—it's coordination. A single agent can write code. But who checks the work? Who remembers what was decided? I built a system where specialists implement and verifiers catch drift.
