Thoughts on building products, growth, and technology.
The verification hierarchy from the Ralph Loop is the theory. The Dark Software Fabric is the implementation: a layered enforcement system from type checking to autonomous AI agents that lets software get built 24/7 without sacrificing quality.

How to get static-like page transitions on authenticated routes in Next.js without leaking private data. Uses middleware to distinguish prefetch requests from real ones, loads skeletons statically, and fetches private content through authenticated API routes.
