Why I'm Writing About LLM Systems and Agents

A first note on building a public learning practice around LLM systems, agents, evaluation, and the engineering habits behind them.

  • Agents
  • AI Engineering
  • Writing

I am starting this blog as a public notebook for learning how modern AI systems are built, tested, and improved.

The center of gravity will be LLM systems and agents: tool use, memory, retrieval, evaluation, orchestration, product behavior, and the strange gap between a promising demo and a reliable system.

I want the writing here to be useful in three ways:

  1. It should make my own thinking harder to fake.
  2. It should leave behind artifacts that other builders can inspect, reuse, or challenge.
  3. It should turn fast-moving AI research into practical engineering judgment.

The format will vary. Some posts will be implementation notes. Some will be paper-to-code walkthroughs. Some will be failure analyses. Some will be opinionated essays, but only when the opinion has earned its oxygen through examples, measurements, or lived engineering friction.

The long-term bet is simple: a strong technical voice is built by repeatedly producing clear artifacts in public.

This is the first one.
