Writing
They're Poisoning the Agents!

AI is making PRs bigger but code review hasn't kept up. On owning what you ship, not just what you prompt.

AI and the monorepo question

Multi-repo feels cleaner for humans. Monorepo works better for AI. On why context changes the calculus.

Thought
"Use AI like an army of high-IQ interns. Not like an expert you're trying to catch being wrong."
