Groxio

Here’s the thing about working with AI on codebases:

You explain an architectural decision carefully. The model seems to understand. Then a few prompts later, it suggests something that quietly breaks the system.

The instinct is to prompt better. Longer explanations. More reminders.

That’s not the fix.

The real problem is that the decision only lived in chat. And chat disappears.

What works: anchoring decisions in code. Module names that signal responsibility. Function names that encode behavior. Tests that assert boundaries.

When intent lives in structure, you stop babysitting the model and start collaborating with it.

It's the first in the Pragmatic Bookshelf's new Pragmatic Stories series and we are thrilled to be trailblazers for it!

Currently Away When the pandemic, heart disease, and personal tragedy threatened to steal everything the Tates spent years building, they found hope, healing, and themselves on a 290 square-foot boat.

Feeling extra thankful for the time this week with our daughters, son in law and all the doggies.
