I build agent infrastructure for a living. Most of what I have learned about running headless LLMs in production lives in commit messages, internal docs, and conversations that never make it past the room they happen in. This is the surface where some of it leaks out.
What I plan to write about
- Headless LLM systems — the work between “agents are interesting” and “agents run unattended in production.” Orchestration, cost governance, observability, fleet operations.
- Strong opinions, weakly held — what I currently believe about how agent infrastructure should be built, and why. I expect to be wrong about some of these and look forward to the corrections.
- Post-mortems on my own decisions — patterns that paid off, patterns that didn’t, and the difference between the two.
What I won’t write about
- Hot takes on the latest model release.
- Frameworks I haven’t actually used in anger.
- Speculation dressed up as expertise.
If something here is useful, it earned its place by being grounded in a shipped system. The bar is “code I run, problems I hit, fixes that actually held.”
