this is the first post on richards.foo. mostly a sanity-check that the mdx pipeline is wired — a real archive of notes lands here as i finish them.
what's in scope
- distributed systems — load shedding, idempotent retries, fan-out/fan-in.
- automation + bot detection — the cat-and-mouse game and the platforms catching up to AI-driven traffic.
- agentic engineering — what i learned shipping document ai end-to-end.
if you want to be told when something new lands, the rss feed will appear at /writing/feed.xml once there are at least three posts. until then, open channel and i'll add you.
