Writing
Nothing published here yet. That’s a real state, not a placeholder — and it’s labelled honestly for the same reason every status on this site is.
Status
Three pieces are drafted or outlined. None are published, because nothing publishes itself — drafts sit in an approval queue until I sign them. Cadence over volume: a stale queue is a failed pipeline, and I’d rather this page stay empty than fill it with something I didn’t mean.
In the queue
- My agent refused a direct order — and that was the system working. Drafted
I wrote a wall against my own future impulses. Months later it held against my explicit, in-the-moment instruction to bend it. The counterintuitive payoff: I now grant far more autonomy, not less — because wide autonomy inside hard walls beats narrow autonomy inside vague ones.
- Harness truth ≠ wire truth. Outlined
How an eval suite stayed green while the live path was quietly broken — and why a passing test bank can be evidence of nothing at all.
- The surprising unit economics of a voice agent. Held — clearance
Telephony, not tokens, dominates the cost — which inverts how you pick a model. Held pending clearance; the specific numbers aren’t mine to publish, and the title used to carry one.
