Made the password policy honest to the person using it: disclosed the breach-database screening in the UI hints and replaced generic admin reset errors with specific ones, so a rejected password reads as policy rather than a broken flow.
Confirmed the June security audit fully remediated: a multi-agent code review closed the loop on all eleven findings and corrected a stale status tracker, backed by a clean 30-day post-launch database advisor re-run with no new issues under real traffic.
Shipped a dollar-denominated ad-credit and first-class comp system: admins grant credit that nets against ad checkout through an atomic, advisory-locked reservation, and flag any account or ad as comped with an integrity check that surfaces every free ad spot. Built in six phases with an agent swarm and hardened by three rounds of adversarial verification that caught three real payment-path bugs before production.
The ground-up rebuild is complete and plotigator.com is live in production: 32 phases on the three-axis continuity engine, a clean cutover that archived the v1 experiment, and an invite-only operator front door - magic-link sign-in plus a platform super-admin tier for cross-ARG operations.
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.
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.
