Engineering: Dreams, or Self-Actualization?

At what point did you start to think you were an engineer? An engineer. What a lofty, prestigious-sounding title! I am not lofty or prestigious. But I do question things. Like why do people follow archaic procedures and thinking patterns, if there is a clearly better path? When you work in a school everything is sort of need-to-know only. So I don’t know why things are done the way they are done, until I plow through 20 brick walls. Persistence answers yesterday's reasoning. Today builds tomor

Claude-Enabled Protein Binder Design Shows Progress, but TREM2 Results Need Context

Claude-enabled protein binder design has produced a meaningful experimental signal in a TREM2 campaign, but the result should be read as evidence of progress in AI-assisted biotech tooling rather than proof of faster drug discovery. In a February 2026 one-day hackathon organized by muni, autonomous AI agents including Claude Sonnet 4.6 submitted designs that were subsequently tested in the wet lab by Adaptyv Bio. The screen evaluated 35 agent-designed binders, of which 12 bound TREM2, for a 34.3

Why I'm Building an Engineering Publishing Platform

Over the past several months, I've made a commitment to write more. Not because I want to become a content creator, but because I've come to appreciate how much engineering knowledge quietly disappears every day. Architecture discussions end when the meeting is over. Production incidents become stories that fade with time. Lessons learned on one project rarely make it to the next. As engineers, we spend years building experience, but very little of it ever becomes knowledge that others can benef

One Vue app, three homes: desktop with Tauri, Android with Capacitor, and the web

I wanted a Reddit client that lived on my desktop and my phone — without maintaining two separate apps. So I built one Vue app and gave it three homes: Tauri (Rust) wraps it as a desktop app for Windows/macOS/Linux, Capacitor wraps it for Android, and it still runs as a plain web app. One UI, one set of Reddit API calls, one OAuth flow — three targets. It works. But "just wrap your web app" hides a few things. Here's the reality. A single Vue.js frontend: the whole UI, the Reddit API calls, the

An Agent's Work Isn't "Done Later" Until You Can Find It Later

I have a habit of asking agents to pause instead of pushing through. Wait for a review. Wait for an external rate limit to clear. Wait for me to make a call I'm not ready to make yet. Pausing is not the problem. The problem is what happens to the paused work afterward. A few weeks ago I went looking for a task I knew an agent had finished setting up, and then couldn't find it. The output existed somewhere. I was fairly sure it had already passed whatever check it needed to pass. But nothing told
