Editorial copilots that don't flatten the voice
Editorial copilots should sharpen a voice, not flatten it: drafting vs polishing modes, house-style injection, fact hygiene and honest review flows.
LLMs in the design process: acceleration with a seatbelt
How we use LLMs in the studio: synthetic drafts, copy pressure-testing, edge-case generation — and the verification rules that keep AI-assisted design honest.
Prototyping with AI: where it speeds design and where it rots it
Field notes on AI-assisted prototyping: real speed in code exploration, hallucinated-component traps, prompt libraries for layout, and a provenance rule for files.
Evals-first development: the build order that actually works
Write the golden set before the prompt, version prompts like code, and gate merges on eval scores. The workflow that makes LLM features shippable.
Content ops: the editorial calendar that survives contact
Editorial operations for small teams: ideation-to-publish SLAs, briefs that prevent rewrites, refresh loops, and the capacity math that keeps quality non-negotiable.
Feature flags without the graveyard
Flag discipline for product squads: lifecycle stages, a naming grammar, expiry automation, analytics hooks, and the monthly flag funeral that keeps codebases young.
