ReAct gave us a three-step loop. Production hardened it into five. The two new steps — Plan and Verify — are where everything that goes wrong, goes wrong. And the field has now named the worst offender.
When I first built Gluon on my Mac mini, I was solving a personal problem: monitoring Claude agents without losing my mind to tmux logs. But when teams join the picture, everything changes — security, governance, observability, and the fundamental role of the developer. Here's what production infrastructure for autonomous agents looks like.
How Gluon's Ralph Loop enables autonomous Claude execution with built-in safety rails — circuit breakers, multi-signal completion detection, and cost controls that scale from simple tasks to complex workflows.
I built an open-source MCP server that reduces LLM token usage by 70-90% through server-side HTML filtering, markdown conversion, and CSS selector targeting. Here's why context efficiency matters—and how Scraper MCP solves it.
I gave Claude Code an XML backup of my 19-year-old WordPress blog and asked it to rebuild everything as a modern NextJS site. What happened next was like watching a swarm of expert developers work in parallel—spawning agents, debugging TypeScript errors, and shipping production-ready code. All in 26 minutes. For eight dollars.
After watching 40% of agentic AI deployments fail in production, I'm building Dagentic — a serverless-first framework designed for what AI agents actually are: unpredictable, spiky workloads that modify themselves mid-execution.
After 12 months of systematic optimization, I've documented 50-70% productivity gains with AI coding assistants. The secret isn't just using AI tools—it's teaching them to think like you do through carefully crafted configurations.
How multi-agent AI systems are revolutionizing document creation, turning complex research workflows into automated pipelines that generate comprehensive reports with rich formatting, citations, and visuals.
At 3 AM, I was manually cropping 47 personal photos for a LoRA model when I realized half were the wrong aspect ratio. Three hours wasted. So I built a simple Python app that does the same work in 15 minutes—and it changed how I think about AI tooling infrastructure.
