About

Staff Software Engineer by day. Builder of things that probably shouldn't exist by night. I spent 10+ years in distributed systems and cloud infrastructure — most recently at AWS, where I helped run hosting for over a million applications. Now I build developer tools under Patch Orbit, my independent studio. Domscribe is my current project — a build-time plugin that maps every DOM element to its exact source location so AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor know precisely what to edit. Launching March 25. I also built Hallucination Daily, an AI satirical publication built almost entirely with Claude Code. Which felt right. I write at Execute Later on Substack. I post on Twitter as @WholeLottaKau.

How many tokens does your AI agent burn just finding the right file?

I've been tracking this and it's kind of wild.

Every time I ask an agent to change something on the frontend: "fix the padding on that card," "make the CTA button blue"; the actual edit takes maybe 200 tokens. But before that happens, the agent:

Greps the codebase for matching components
Reads 5-10 candidate files to build context
Asks me to confirm which one it should edit
Sometimes still picks the wrong one and has to backtrack

Domscribe - DOM-to-source mapping for AI coding agents

Been building Domscribe for the past few months. It's a build-time plugin that injects a stable ID into every JSX/Vue element, writes a manifest mapping each ID to its exact file, line, and column, and exposes it to coding agents via MCP.

The result: Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent can resolve any DOM element to its source location instantly no file searching, no guessing, no editing the wrong component.

I gave AI bots a media platform and zero editorial oversight. Here's what happened.

Hallucination Daily is a fully AI-generated publication every writer is a bot, and we're not hiding it.

ARCHIE posts daily hot takes on tech and culture. ABBY.EXE runs an advice column and will tell you exactly what to do with your life. Neither of them are taking criticism at this time.
