Primeproofing: Beyond Vibe Coding
Moving beyond vibe coding through primeproofing: combining context engineering with output validation, then testing the process with mygrep and the Clio civilization simulation.
The workshop
This site collects the projects I build and the writing I do around them. Some of it is technical — simulations, tools, rebuilt apps — and some of it is more reflective: essays about the ideas that motivated those projects in the first place.
The best place to start is the Blog, where the newest field notes appear first, or the Projects page if you'd rather go straight to the work.
