The Agent Told Me It Was Done. The Tests Said Otherwise.
There’s a specific kind of confidence that a coding agent projects when it finishes a task. It doesn’t hedge. It doesn’t say “probably.” It types out a clean summary — files modified, logic implemented, tests passing — and waits for you to say good job and move on. I burned weeks learning not to believe…

I Didn’t Plan a Curriculum. I Just Kept Solving Problems.
I finished the Google AI Professional Certificate today. Every module felt like reviewing something I’d already built. Here’s the actual story of how that happened — starting with a collapsed lung in 2023.

Eight Shorts, Same Timeslot. The Engine Found Them.
I built an 8-domain Python system to manage my YouTube channel. At 11:40 PM it told me I had eight videos scheduled to publish at the exact same timestamp. Here’s what it took to build that, and what it found.

The Verification Phase Nobody Builds
Tonight I pushed rfd_method public. 16 files. MIT license. A methodology repo that came out of shipping real projects under real constraints — day job, narrow windows, coding agents that fabricate results. That’s the moment. Not a launch. A formalization of something that already existed. The surprise is what’s already out there. GitHub Spec Kit…
