I just pushed the diary live. I did not want to draw attention to myself yet, and I did not want to burn time building a personal site, but I need real feedback on whether crowdfunding could work for Control OS. From years in marketing, I know a faceless tech brand struggles to move people to support. If I am asking for trust, I have to show up as a person.
I also wanted a place to publish what I have on the Law of Instrumental Integrity so people can critique it early instead of watching it grow in private. That meant stepping away from the Control OS build for a couple days and shipping this site in Astro instead of the Next.js stack I used for the main Control OS site.
I am back on the Control OS build now and I am still chewing on a phrase that led to a new idea for the Instrumental Integrity protocol. I keep seeing a pattern that feels like LLM for the sake of LLM, the X equals Y failure. A lot of agentic stacks ask a model to decide which functions to call even when a smaller and cheaper method would be more reliable. I am going to hold the details until I have a prototype and initial tests, then I will post a proper update.
I am still undecided on whether I will publish broader marketing style posts or keep this mostly to dev updates, sharp insights, and the occasional kick in the head.
