A human checkpoint walk exposed that an unanchored .gitignore pattern had kept the console's entire Build section out of version control since it was written - root-caused, anchored, and committed for the first time. Automated gates never saw it; one person clicking around found it in a minute.
Closed the build swarm's feedback loop across projects: every logged drift event now distills into a Standing Spec Rule in the shared architect-to-code skill, so future Architects inherit each lesson with its provenance instead of relearning it.
Ratified the story-engine layer: a greenfield ontology reconciled against the live build, three spec blocks (a deterministic five-class validator, a deficit-driven interview engine, a 17-phase build order), and a five-stop design walk that ruled the control-room loop, a seven-verb action grammar, and the trust boundary between the showrunner and the machine.
An automated security review caught a javascript:-URI XSS vector in the new captures page shortly after it shipped; a URL scheme guard was written, build-verified, deployed, and confirmed live on the domain within the hour.
Google Calendar now feeds the nightly brief: an OAuth-secured n8n workflow snapshots a rolling 7-day window into Supabase at 3:45 AM, and the zero-network agent weaves events, collisions, and gig-prep flags into each morning's email. Proven across two unattended production nights before the commit landed.
Where This Is Heading
What's Cooking
Several things at once, as usual:
- AI systems and automation that take repetitive work off people's plates
- Websites and web apps that ship and do what they're supposed to
- Building out entertainment spaces with live sound and light systems
- There have been a bunch of tools that started as a personal experiment and ended up solving a real problem for a real client
- I've been playing in a brand-new space for me — ARGs — Stay tuned for more
On the surface, those don't have much in common. But the same instincts that make a live show run smoothly are the ones that make a software system hold together under pressure. The people I work with get the benefit of all of it, and it's a whole lot of fun.
The Endgame
Same pattern as always, just covering more ground.
Decades across sales training, military service, and enterprise technology will do that. The focus has shifted hard into AI development over the last couple of years, and it's been a hell of a ride so far.
People come back to work with me and bring friends because something got solved, something shipped, and they've got more problems worth solving.
The work itself:
- AI and automation has moved past experimentation — it's running for real clients, on real deadlines, giving people huge amounts of time back in their week
- The sound and lighting work is still a blast — years on stage before I ever stood behind a board means the people performing get someone who knows what it feels like from both sides
- My friends and clients who get things solved keep coming back with more challenges and bringing new friends along that often become new clients.
No master plan. But the pattern holds, the range keeps expanding, and something useful comes out the other side.
