Engineering notes
Investigations, AI-assisted workflows, and other working notes from production support work.
- Preparing a legacy dataset for migration with an AI-assisted script AI generated the scaffolding in minutes. Deciding what the data needed to look like on the other side, and checking that it did, was the actual work.
- The integration that rejects the whole request Some systems reject an entire request over one invalid field, and from the sender's point of view it looks like nothing happened. Design for that before wiring any two systems together.
- Reviewing an AI assistant's wrong answers Configuring the assistant took hours. Reading its wrong answers and fixing the content underneath them was the real project.
- Bilingual knowledge content and the AI that reads it A bilingual knowledge base isn't two translations of one truth. It drifts into two truths, and an AI assistant reading both will faithfully serve the drift.
