Skillexis — 2026-03-22
What shipped
No activity on this date. The project was idle — most recent work landed on earlier days with the test infrastructure buildout (pytest, vitest, CI integration) and DISC scoring unit tests.
Completed
None.
Release progress
- Simulation practice: 3/4 closed. One issue remains open: #172 (pass lesson context through to simulation practice).
- Alpha launch (v2): 0/0 — not yet started.
Carry-over
- #172 — Pass lesson context through to simulation practice (in-progress, sole remaining item for Simulation practice milestone)
Risks
None identified.
Flags and watch-outs
- Simulation practice milestone is one issue away from completion. #172 is the critical path to unlocking the Alpha launch milestone.
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.
When your agents start breaking each other's code
Two agents modified the same file independently and created database locks. The fleet hit 135 issues in one day — and the coordination problem that comes with it.
The removal tax
The most productive thing you can do with a product is take features away. Eighty-nine issues closed across eight projects, and the hardest lesson came from a pipeline that ran perfectly and produced nothing.
The product changed its mind
A product pivoted its entire philosophy mid-session — from 'here's your list' to 'here's your next thing.' The code shipped in the same conversation as the idea. That's not iteration. That's something else.
