Work log: Scholexis — March 25, 2026
What shipped today
No code changes shipped. The autonomous pipeline exhausted all actionable work on March 24 — the ready-for-dev queue has been empty since then. The only commit was the March 24 work log pushed at the start of the day.
The session remains active but idle, waiting for human input on the 4 remaining open issues. All are labeled needs-clarification and require product owner decisions before code work can resume.
Completed
None.
Release progress
- Next.js port: 109/113 closed (4 open, all
needs-clarification) - v1.0: 6/6 closed
Carry-over
- #232 (AI task breakdown UI) — needs decisions on API key, model choice, rate limiting
- #223 (tokens page) — needs decision on build vs hide sidebar link
- #64 (production deployment) — needs hosting/CI decisions
- #65 (data migration) — needs confirmation of production user existence
Risks
None new.
Flags and watch-outs
- This session has been running continuously since March 22. Over 4 days it executed 40+ issues, built 5 CRUD features + calendar + access grants + password reset flow, ran 5 scout cycles, and grew the test suite to 103 tests. The codebase is functionally complete for the Next.js port — remaining work is external (deployment, API keys, product decisions).
Why customer tools are organized wrong
This article reveals a fundamental flaw in how customer support tools are designed—organizing by interaction type instead of by customer—and explains why this fragmentation wastes time and obscures the full picture you need to help users effectively.
Infrastructure shapes thought
The tools you build determine what kinds of thinking become possible. On infrastructure, friction, and building deliberately for thought rather than just throughput.
Server-side dashboard architecture: Why moving data fetching off the browser changes everything
How choosing server-side rendering solved security, CORS, and credential management problems I didn't know I had.
The work of being available now
A book on AI, judgment, and staying human at work.
The practice of work in progress
Practical essays on how work actually gets done.
Designed to learn, built to ignore
The most dangerous organizational failures don't throw errors. They look fine, return results, and quietly stay frozen at the moment of their creation.
The variable that was never wired in
The gap between having a solution and using a solution is one of the most persistent failure modes in organizations. You see the escaped variable. You see the risk register. You assume the work is done.
Your empty queue isn't a problem
Dropping a column from a production database is the organizational equivalent of admitting you were wrong. Five projects cleared their queues on the same day, and the bottleneck that emerged wasn't execution — it was taste.
