The memory bank framework. Six files at the root of the project. The agent reads them at the start of every session and updates them before exit. The update is a 30-second ritual: diff the code to write the update, then diff the memory bank against itself to make sure nothing got lost. Cross-session context lives in files I control, not inside the session. Sessions stay short, I never /compact, never /clear, and never re-explain a project on Monday. I've been running this loop daily for a year. Blog post

"How much of the stuff you write on here is written by you?" A friend DM'd me this. Fair question – I went from zero to posting most days, almost overnight. The writing is mine. It's the one thing I wasn't going to hand off. Everything else is agents: catching half-formed ideas the second they land, organising them so I can find them next week, scheduling, pushing to every channel, running the website. The thinking stays with me. The drag disappears. LinkedIn

The compounding bit is starting to feel real. I spent most of the week on a Fidero website rebuild. Details under wraps until launch, but a blog series is coming. The observation worth naming: I'm noticeably less hands-on with the agents now. Less correcting, less re-steering, less rewriting their work. The painstaking process of codifying every fix into persistent context (every correction, every failure mode, every "no, not like that") is paying off. Feels like a well-oiled machine. Six months ago it wasn't.

On my radar

Claude Code now runs on a schedule. Anthropic launched Routines – scheduled agent runs via /schedule. It's a step toward agents that work on their own clock, not just when you open the terminal. Announcement

"Is Claude Code slower this week?" Complaints were everywhere and the outage yesterday amplified them. My read: demand pressure, not model degradation. It works noticeably smoother after 6pm. Worth the reminder though: keep your infrastructure model-agnostic. Vendor lock-in on a tool this strategic is a bad bet.

$350m of new ARR. Per day. Anthropic's rumoured growth rate. That's the context for every outage, every rate limit, every "is it just me" complaint. A market is reorganising at a pace the infrastructure can't quite keep up with. Brief pain is the price.
