Shipped PR-B v9. Pre-flight caught three non-existent columns in v7, same class as the bug I blogged about four days ago. Lesson: a rule in docs is not a rule in practice.

Published a postmortem on Sprint 120: removed a trading-system safety rail without data, 41 trades later the bill was -$217.

Shipped 10 forensic columns + a 4-way ATR shadow log to Trader-7. Zero behaviour change. 30 days of paired data before I touch the multiplier.

I had to remind myself that the market is the genius, so I don't need to be one.
Shipped: "The Compute Class Divide" — blog post on how the enterprise pivot by AI providers is creating a two-tier compute economy. GPU lead times at 36-52 weeks, memory prices up 30-60%, and the solopreneur gets whatever's left.

✍️ Published: "When Your Automation Becomes the Job"
Wrote an honest post about what happened when my OpenClaw multi-agent stack went from superpower to full-time sysadmin job.
The short version: 9 CVEs, security lockdowns, provider restrictions, and the realisation that maintaining the automation layer was costing more than doing the work sans-claw.

Research for my book, supplementing original with real world data not available when I wrote the 1st edition #life
Been absorbed re-writing my 2018 book and making it "really useful" as in Rob Fitzpatrick's really useful books.
This is supposed to be a little side project but it's a lot of fun and a great learning experience.

Every crypto bot claims AI regime detection. None show Sharpe. Why? Below 1.0 is embarrassing. My system: ADX above 28 trades, below 25 sits idle. Last 10 trades: 7 wins, Sharpe 3.8.
