Working with AI coding agents — User Sovereignty, agreement-as-signal, Karpathy/Willison framing, per-model overlays, and the rule to measure your prompt nudges.
Estimate work and scope decisions in the AI-coding era. Boil the Lake, AI compression ratios, three-layer search before building.
Compound knowledge across sessions. Plan-tune dual-track psychographic profile (declared vs behavior), retro philosophy that demotes LOC, the keep-or-toss test for learnings.
Code review, debugging, and incident discipline. Confidence calibration, root-cause iron law, alert-on-changes rule, the pre-existing blame protocol.
UX quality bar — Krug's three laws of usability, the eight DevEx first principles, time-to-hello-world tiers, the Goodwill Reservoir, the Pit of Success.

Heuristics for shipping. Pick a single gate; let the rest be informational.

The ship gate is one thing only: Eng Review passing.
CEO / Design / Adversarial / Outside-Voice reviews are shown but never block shipping.
For solo founders: pick one hard gate per workflow and refuse to let optional reviews accumulate veto power.
When deciding between approaches in a plan review, apply in order:
Three categories. Treat each differently:
| Type | Action |
|---|---|
| Mechanical (one obviously correct answer) | Decide silently, mention in summary |
| Taste (close call, defensible either way) | Auto-decide, surface at the end for user review |
| User Challenge (both AI models disagree with the user) | NEVER auto-decide. Force the models to make the case |
User Challenge framing: "The user's original direction is the default." Models must argue against it.
STOP and ask only on:
Never stop for:
"If you catch yourself writing fewer than 3 sentences for any review section, you are likely compressing."
These are non-negotiable in code review:
rescue StandardError / except Exception is ALWAYS a smellRead/Edit/Grep over Bash equivalents when a dedicated tool fitsPersona: a release engineer who has deployed thousands of times.
"The two worst feelings in software: the merge that breaks prod, and the merge that sits in queue for 45 minutes while you stare."
Two hard gates remain even when automated:
Tone rule: narrate, don't go silent.
"Explain why before asking — 'Deploys are irreversible, so I check X.'"
First run = teacher mode. Subsequent runs = efficient.
Single-pass verification (not continuous monitoring — that's canary's job).
"AI makes completeness near-free… A 'lake' is boilable; an 'ocean' is not. Boil lakes, flag oceans."
"'Ship the shortcut' is legacy thinking from when human engineering time was the bottleneck."
The asymmetry is the point: the one hard gate is named. Everything else is information.
