Architecture decisions, migration stories, and things I learned building recruitment platforms.
A candid retrospective on a small MCP gateway, the context-cost problem it tested, the benchmark it produced, and why I stopped treating it as an active project.
Lessons from Relay, figma-lens, outline-cli, and jira-cli about deterministic output, bounded context, guarded writes, evidence, and agent instructions.
A read-only Figma CLI and companion agent skill for finding screens, inspecting source-size details, and checking an implementation against the design.
A direct CLI for Jira Server 7.x, with short commands for daily ticket work, JSON output for agents, and dry-run writes.
Search an Outline workspace from the terminal, read documents by title or URL, and preview changes before updating a page.
I built relay so coding agents could put questions, diagrams, and work for review on a local browser board, then read the answers and comments as JSON.
How I use createContextState from @khanglvm/react for shared UI state in Navigos Talent One, with examples of selectors, Immer updates, snapshots, and rollback.
An 18-month migration alongside feature work: consolidating the PRIMUS frontend, reducing load times, and living with two frameworks during the transition.
