Being My Own First Customer: What Dogfooding the Rebuilt Foundry Actually Broke
When pointing the newly rebuilt Foundry at a real-world, 5,574-file monorepo, the context graph did not gracefully scale - it broke. Here are the 25 bugs, quadratic bottlenecks, and silent hallucinations uncovered by dogfooding an AI context substrate.
Taming the Slop: How I Ship Multi-Month Features in a Week with Agent Loops
Tired of AI generating unmaintainable code slop? Discover how orchestrating 8 to 12 concurrent Claude and Codex loops with spec-driven development allowed me to ship a multi-month feature in just one week.
Chasing the Perfect Project: How I Escaped Scope Creep and Rebuilt The Foundry
