Notes from practice
Thoughts on AI inside companies, agentic workflows, web apps, and how we work - from running projects, not slide decks.
Our open-source project QSOlog logs radio contacts entirely in the browser: offline-first PWA, data in IndexedDB, ADIF export. What the project shows about web applications without a backend.

Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI are impressive in demo repos. In mature codebases, the deciding factor is how tokens, reviews, and antipatterns are managed - not the model.

The Model Context Protocol is more than an acronym in the hype cycle - but not every integration deserves its own MCP server. When the effort pays back and when a plain script will do.

Local does not automatically mean compliant. Between 'runs on-prem' and 'survives an audit' sit policies, a vault for personal data, and a verifiable audit log. An assessment using the open-source project Powerbrain as the example.

For internal line-of-business apps in SMBs, the PWA is almost always the smarter choice. In 2026 the last 'but you can't do that' arguments are gone.

The open-source project Caveman makes coding agents like Claude Code or Gemini CLI talk in telegraph style - cutting output tokens by 65 % on average. A practitioner's take.
