Topics
What this publication covers.
Each topic is a running argument, not a tag. Start at the hub and read down.
Agent Architecture
How to structure agentic systems so failures stay contained and behavior stays explainable.
Evaluation & Testing
Measuring whether a probabilistic system is getting better, and proving it to someone who signs the check.
Production Reliability
Latency budgets, blast radius, graceful degradation — the non-functional requirements that decide whether an AI feature ships.
Data Architecture
Storage, retrieval, and schema decisions that age well — from document models to vector indexes.
Field Notes
Fifty years of systems that had to stay up, and which instincts actually transferred.
