If you want the full system (skills, hooks, the maturity ladder), I'm also running a paid workshop on May 12: Context Engineering for Claude Code. Code FCMD25 saves 25%. maven.com/altered-craft-…

I'm running a free Lightning Lesson on @MavenHQ — "Build the CLAUDE.md Your Project Needs" If your Claude Code results vary session to session, this is why. 30 min, live, Apr 23. RSVP: maven.com/p/6a115a/build…

Your AI remembers what you decided but forgets why, then quietly violates the intent. The fix: a 50-line feature doc that externalizes reasoning across sessions. martinfowler.com/articles/reduc…

NVIDIA's NemoClaw wraps OpenClaw with security and privacy guardrails in a single install command. Open source, runs local models, deploys anywhere. nvidia.com/en-us/ai/nemoc… #OpenClaw

Vibecoding gets you a prototype fast. Turning it into a real product? That's another 100 hours of work most people don't talk about. kanfa.macbudkowski.com/vibecoding-cry…

Stop asking Claude Code to be a generalist. gstack gives you eight specialized agents, founder, engineer, reviewer, QA. Each with the right brain for its job. All slash commands. All parallel. github.com/garrytan/gstack

AI coding assistants default to "the average of the internet." A priming doc with your stack, conventions, and anti-patterns changes that. martinfowler.com/articles/reduc… Get weekly rollups of AI News and Tools and more at Altered Craft: writing.alteredcraft.com

I’ve been using Conductor over the past month, which I refer to as an Agent Orchestration Environment (AOE). Took the time to write up my experience so far. Read about it here on Altered Craft: open.substack.com/pub/alteredcra…

With the recent visible incidents of Supabase misconfigurations, I took the opportunity to explore the topic in depth. I applied my findings to enhance the security of one of my projects. I've shared my insights in this post. open.substack.com/pub/alteredcra…

Blasts from the pasts, someone mentioned cgi-bin yesterday

oof, Superbowl flu at GH?

This week's review. Continued examples of maturity in the agentic engineering domain. This is balanced with some editorials mourning loss and coming to grips with the relentless pace of change. open.substack.com/pub/alteredcra…

@Strava needs a new metric for the PacNW runners, "inches of rain per mile"

Still seeing this blanket advice popping up. Its intent is well-meaning, but in the current landscape, (and if we extrapolate coding agent capability trends), it's impractical My latest post is on this topic: open.substack.com/pub/alteredcra…

Claude Code Humor

Poking around Claude Cowork. Certainly interesting from a TAM perspective. I could imagine 'Code' kept much of the mainstream away. claude.com/blog/cowork-re…
