/ AIAI
AI here is not commentary from the sidelines — it is part of my daily engineering work. I use agentic coding tools to build and maintain real products, evaluate models against my own project specs, and document what actually works for people who ship software.
AI in my workflow
Agentic coding
Claude Code and similar CLI agents do real implementation work in my projects — features, refactoring, maintenance — with me acting as architect and reviewer of every change. The full write-up: how I split work with agentic coding tools.
In-editor assistants
IDE assistants handle completion and quick questions right in the editor when I write code myself.
Local models
I run local models for private experiments, offline workflows, and testing what smaller models can really do.
Design and review
Frontier chat models are my sounding board for architecture options, tricky trade-offs, code review, and writing.
Evaluation over hype
I benchmark models on my own coding prompts and project specs — Prompt Vault — instead of trusting leaderboards and demos.
Sharing in public
Everything that survives real use ends up on the Zero to MVP channel and in Zero to MVP Weekly.
Start here
The four most recent episodes — what the channel actually looks like.
A community coding fine-tune, run on a laptop and pushed through my Prompt Vault tasks until it broke.
Qwen 3.8 continues an app its smaller predecessor wrote — tagged in the repo, so you can see which model did what.
Building a local OCR tool for images and PDFs with Qwen 3.6 on my own machine — nothing leaves the laptop.
Two frontier models on identical Prompt Vault tasks, starting where the easy ones stop telling you anything.
