I Was Summoning Ghosts Until I Learned to Build the Machine
A candid personal technical narrative about temporary cognitive instruments, fragmented thought, false breakthroughs, accumulated scar tissue, and the moment Git and software-delivery discipline turned conversation into a cockpit and the repository into durable memory.
Stop Prompting Agents. Start Managing Workers.
A practical operating model for meaningful agent work: begin with a job, encode the work, bound the assignment, supervise through evidence, measure results, and expand autonomy only when repeatable proof earns a larger trust envelope.
The Agents Are Not the Bottleneck. You Are.
A technical and reflective thesis about the human-attention bottleneck created when agent execution becomes abundant, why parallel activity is not accepted throughput, and why mature orchestration needs admission control for decisions, review, exceptions, and closure.
The Hands I Never Had
A personal systems essay on how AI removed the implementation barrier between decades of infrastructure, operational, user, and visual judgment and the software experiences Tony Malott wanted to build.
Demo Debt
Article-first SharePlane thesis defining demo debt as the liability created when impressive AI demos are mistaken for supportable operational capability.
Your Second Brain Is Not a Production Architecture
A source-derived architecture explainer separating personal second-brain markdown workflows from production agent context-plane requirements.
The Country Where Movement Became Homework
A personal systems essay arguing that America removed routine movement from ordinary life, made excess consumption unusually easy, and then interpreted a population-scale outcome mainly as an individual failure of discipline.
The World Got Bigger, and So Did the Self
A personal cultural essay tracing Tony Malott's path from rural Arkansas through military life in Japan and Germany to multicultural California, arguing that sustained contact—not travel alone—can widen inherited worldviews while retaining explicit evidence and caveats.
