From monolith to contract
How a single Spring Boot app became four specialized backends — and how versioned, dispatched OpenAPI specs turned backend-first into a disciplined AI workflow.
Read
How the mobile app signs every step
A plain-language walk through the Ezkey mobile protocol: enrollment, proof tokens, and end-to-end cryptographic chaining — no implicit trust at any stage.
Read

From knowing to living
The moment the methodology stopped being an idea and started being a practice — and what was on the other side of that gap.
Read
Back to foundations
AI penalizes implicit analysis and rewards explicit design. A structured experience report on methodology, context engineering, and the developer’s evolving role in the AI era.
Read
From code to intent
One year of AI-assisted workflow on an open source project — from raw velocity to elevating the developer role toward architect, analyst and product owner.
Read
AI coding manifesto
The future of coding is already here: boundaries, Docker, tests, and how the developer role shifts.
Read
Generative AI and No-Code / Low-Code
A parallel between the No-Code era and today’s AI coding tools — specs, lock-in, and hybrid documentation.
