Articles & notes
Long-form essays and engineering notes — independent of the product roadmap. Separate from monthly digests and from step-by-step evaluator guides.
About Ezkey
Exp1 preview — limited access
Experimental all-in-one instance: Android app, tenant admin, Acme demo; invitations first or email request — not a production offering.
Read
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
Testing strategy
From unit tests to operational stress: tag segmentation, Docker clean room, sequential functional tests, elective spot checks, and time-compressed operational churn.
Read
Ezkey at a glance
Trust zone and mobile app: backend-first MFA, bind/verify and pending/respond, and why it is not “just another code app.”
Read
Why Ezkey exists
Why this project exists at all: backend-first conviction, explicit trust boundaries, AI-first execution, and why the work is experimental but serious.

Craft & engineering
The ablation principle
Deleting 93% of my own methodology in one commit: a principle taken seriously, a failed draft, an unsparing critique, and what survived.
Read
Continuous code hygiene
From agent sessions to curated tooling: reducing noise, keeping humans in the loop, and turning high-signal findings into opportunities to learn.
Read
Critical Thinking and Idea Alignment
Echo chambers, probabilistic neutrality, and corpus synergy: how critical thinking, neutral speech, and a living document corpus steer human and AI decisions together.
Read
The AI bill, and my step aside
A personal essay about AI, work, retirement, and stepping out of the race just as software AI enters its budget era.
Read
Giving AI back its wings
The pendulum swings from vibe coding to spec-everything. A field report on a third path: framing intent and sharing your values with AI rather than piling on constraints.
Read
Painting an admin UI in collaboration with AI
How this admin UI emerged in layers over about four months — an honest account from a backend developer who could not have painted it alone.
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.
