You’re still signing data structures the wrong way

How do you package data before feeding it into a cryptographic algorithm, like Sign, Encrypt, MAC or Hash? This question has lingered for decades without a sufficient solution. There are at least two important problems to solve. First, the encoding ought to produce canonical outputs, as systems like Bitcoin have struggled when two different encodings […]

Functional programming accellerates agentic feature development

functional-programming-accellerates-agentic-feature-development

TL;DR AI agents break in production because codebases weren’t built for them. Mutable state, hidden dependencies, and entangled side effects make agent output non-deterministic and impossible to debug. Functional programming fixes the architecture. I formalized this into two frameworks: SUPER (five code principles) and SPIRALS (a seven-step process loop). They’re how I build everything now. […]

Let the record state that I love Scott Alexander. I’ve been a reader for over a decade and count him among the sharpest and most important public intellectuals working today. I credit essays like I Can Tolerate Anything Except the Outgroup with articulating feelings I had been having for years but didn’t yet have the […]

EmDash: A spiritual successor to WordPress and plugin security

emdash:-a-spiritual-successor-to-wordpress-and-plugin-security

The cost of building software has drastically decreased. We recently rebuilt Next.js in one week using AI coding agents. But for the past two months our agents have been working on an even more ambitious project: rebuilding the WordPress open source project from the ground up. WordPress powers over 40% of the Internet. It is a […]

We Built It with Slide Rules. Then We Forgot How

My father grew up on a subsistence farm, the kind that raised chickens and grew just enough to get by. Farmers were the original hackers. You couldn’t wait for the right tool or the right expert. You fixed what was broken with what you had, because the alternative was worse. As a kid he taught […]
