Background

I'm krow. My background is in physics and scientific computing — Python, Fortran, Makefiles, conda environments. I bring the same systematic methodology to software as I do to research: define constraints, test hypotheses, document results.

This site was built entirely with AI coding agents, specifically Claude Code. Not as an experiment in generating content — as a disciplined engineering process. Every component was specified, reviewed, and tested. The result: 8 entries, 99 end-to-end tests, full-text search, and a custom theme, shipped to production in about a week.

What This Site Is

A practitioner's knowledge base. The agentic coding series documents tested patterns for working with AI coding agents — from project setup to prompt architecture to code review methodology. The Astro 6 tutorial series covers the framework from first principles, written for developers coming from scientific computing rather than the JavaScript ecosystem.

Every entry is structured for both human readers and AI agents. Append .md to any URL for clean markdown. The llms.txt file indexes the full site with machine-readable instructions.

Authorship Transparency

Every entry on this site is labeled with its origin: human-written, AI-assisted, or AI-drafted. You can filter by authorship on the explore page.

This isn't a gimmick. Developers evaluating technical content deserve to know how it was produced. AI-assisted content follows different failure modes than human-written content — it's more likely to be generically correct but miss project-specific nuance. Labeling the origin lets readers calibrate their trust appropriately.

The agent view toggle on each entry shows the structured metadata that AI agents see: kind, maturity, confidence, origin, related entries, and a direct markdown endpoint. This is what radical transparency about AI-assisted content looks like in practice.
