The Curator's Role: Managing a Codebase With an Agent
The Simplest Thing That Could Work There's a temptation, when you decide to "use AI for software development," to build something complicated. A custom orchestration layer. A RAG pipeline over your codebase. A fine-tuned model trained on your conventions. A plugin ecosystem. I used Markdown files. T

Project Glasswing: Securing critical software for the AI era
Ever found yourself knee-deep in code, working on an AI project, and suddenly realized that the software you’re building might just be under threat? Yeah, I’ve been there, too. As developers, we’re so immersed in creating, iterating, and deploying that security often fades into the background, like
How to Prepare Your TLS Stack for Post-Quantum Cryptography Today
If you've been ignoring the "quantum computing will break encryption" headlines for the last few years, I get it. It felt like a distant problem. But NIST finalized its first post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024, major browsers already support hybrid key exchange, and the timeline for "harves
Dev.toStop Using Templates: I Built an AI CLI That Generates Projects From Instructions
Stop using templates. Describe your project. Generate it with AI. Most scaffolding tools today rely on static templates. They work — but they’re rigid. You pick a template, then spend time modifying it to fit your needs. What if you could just describe your project? Instead of choosing a template, y

Building the Agent Harness: Subdirectory CLAUDE.md Files
One Big File Doesn't Scale Claude Code reads a CLAUDE.md file at the root of your project. It's the primary way to give the agent project-specific instructions.
