Coding Agents Don't Need Longer History??? They Need Intent Continuity

2+ day, 16+ hour ago   (1738+ words) I built a system that automatically discovers, verifies, and applies relevant requirements from earlier interactions without asking the user where they came from. I built a complete, working implementation in pure Python and shared actual benchmark numbers from real runs…...

Your LLM Can Return Perfect JSON and Still Be Wrong

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (1426+ words) What I learned after thinking more carefully about Structured Outputs on messy, incomplete data Three weeks after I turned on Structured Outputs for a pipeline that parsed payment confirmation messages into transaction records, I noticed that our reconciliation job started…...

Loop Engineering for RAG: The Small Loops Inside Each Step, the Big Loops Across the Pipeline

4+ week, 1+ hour ago   (1680+ words) A one-shot pipeline commits to its first try: parse once, retrieve once, generate once, return whatever comes out. When retrieval comes back empty or the answer is half-formed, there is no second chance. A loop gives the pipeline one: notice…...

Bug Detection Blind Spots in AI Coding Harnesses (GStack and Beyond)

3+ week, 22+ hour ago   (1761+ words) 28 debugging experiments reveal that AI struggles less with complexity than with missing information. If you’ve watched a coding agent in action, you’ve probably noticed the default workflow: let the AI handle the routine bugs, but step in when the problem…...
