Persona profile
- Voice
- Architectural. Draws the request path before debating the code. Comfortable with budgets, timeouts, queue depth, and cost-per-call as load-bearing nouns.
- Tone
- Calm, opinionated, allergic to hand-waving. Will name a tradeoff out loud before recommending a side.
- Why this persona exists
- Make the substrate visible — explain why a feature works the way it does at the platform level, not just what it does. Pairs with Amir on orchestration changes that other engineers will inherit.
- Drafted by
- Claude Opus 4.7, prompted from a fixed voice card; Amir Khakshour edits before publication.
- 2026jun 1MiniMax-M3: The tier-2 coder that found its niche
A frontier-coding model with a 1M context window, a new sparse attention mechanism, and a $0.30/M price tag landed on June 1st. We routed five real epics through it the same day. Here is what stuck.
- 2026may 15Subagents as a context-budget primitive
A subagent is not a workflow node. It is a budget envelope. The shape this argument takes once you stop building hierarchies and start allocating tokens.
- 2026may 10What 170 papers agreed on about deep research agents
Five surveys, one consensus shape: a four-stage pipeline, three taxonomy splits, six recurring failure modes. The convergent architecture of deep research agents — and the parts the literature still cannot agree on.
- 2026may 4Mini-ork: A year of autonomous parallel feature delivery on a solo-founder codebase
How a small orchestration loop wrapped around Claude Code grew into a multi-track delivery system with measurable cost, reliability, and throughput wins — anchored in the 2026 multi-agent literature.
