Essays on AI tools, capabilities, and the work they're changing.
Loop Engineering Is a Writing Job
Your agent ends every session with the same confident word. Here is the loop that checks that word from outside: a written definition of done, a boring checker, a heartbeat, and a grade. Five small files, one afternoon, real output included.
I Filed My ITR-2 With Capital Gains Using an AI Agent. No CA, Start to Finish.
A full ITR-2 with capital gains, filed on incometax.gov.in by an AI agent for AY 2026-27, with no chartered accountant. The exact journey, the real gotchas, and how you repeat it.
The Trust layer nobody built
You wrapped your documentation pipeline in Claude skills and wrote rules in markdown to keep them honest. Those rules are a sticky note, not a guardrail. Here is how a technical writer builds trust they can actually rely on into their own AI workflow: a check the agent can't override, provenance on every draft, and the seven things you do this week.
I Built a Personal Intelligence System. The Trick Was Making the Code Dumb.
Thirty sources. Three hundred articles a week. Python fetches them and stays stupid on purpose. Claude reads everything and tells me the three things to do. A signal bank remembers the rest until it matters.
Seventy-Two Hours: Inside NVIDIA OpenShell, the Sandbox for AI Agents
A frontier model got pulled three days after launch. The agent on your own machine has no off switch like that, so you cage it instead. A plain look at what NVIDIA's open-source OpenShell actually does.
The industrialization of technical writing
How enterprise economics are compressing the craft.
