MIDS---Merge / Integrate / Dogfood / Ship---forms a lightweight philosophy for decentralized development: a way for many autonomous contributors to create coherent products without heavy process or centralized gatekeeping. Each step defines a distinct layer of responsibility, with pronouns that map the flow of agency from individual to collective.
What You Write Is What It Did: A Legible Pattern for Structuring Software
WYSIWID makes behavior inspectable via structure. / WYWIWID makes behavior inspectable via history. / You don’t infer truth—you log it…
A Spec for AI Science: How Research Objects Enable Rigorous Agentic Drug Discovery
In science, unanchored agentic AI risks becoming its own form of vibe coding—speed without accountability. Spec Science is the alternative: structured, reproducible, and grounded in Research Objects (ROs).
The Worm in the Apple of Superintelligence
The myth of superintelligence assumes that if we amplify reason, we capture mind. / That is the apple we are offered: shiny, perfect, Platonic. / But the worm inside — the actual worm — reminds us that intelligence is not reducible to reason. / It is inseparable from life…
ROY: Research Object YAML
ROY is a compressed, human-first representation of RO-Crates in YAML. / It preserves all identifiers needed to reconstruct the original JSON-LD, but it presents them in a way that feels closer to a datasheet or a BibTeX entry.
Humanity As Rationalizing The Irrational: The HARTI Hypothesis
The HARTI hypothesis situates humanity’s uniqueness not in pure logic, speech, or play, but in the general-purpose ability to transform the irreducible into the intelligible. / Whether viewed as the root of our greatness or the source of our downfall, rationalization remains central to any account of what it means to be human.
ABCs of ADD: A Cultural Compass for Accountability-Driven Development
How we thrive in a world of abundance.
ADD the Beat: Accountability-Driven Development in an AI World
AI can generate code faster than any human I've met. But it often lacks what we might call EQ for engineering: it doesn't know when to stop, it forgets promises, it drifts from context. That's not malice--it's the nature of the tool. The burden falls back on us to create a structure where AI's speed doesn't outrun our ability to review.
Brains Are Cool Enough to Be Quantum. Are They?
These aren’t fringe claims. They’re hard experimental facts: biology has evolved protein scaffolds that stabilize coherence in messy, warm, wet conditions.
Securely Deploying MCP Servers with SSO on AWS
This tutorial walks through a simplified pattern for deploying an MCP Server on AWS, enforcing SSO authentication and per-user role assumption. // It assumes you already run other services in your VPC with SSO and IAM roles.
