      <description>A placeholder to get the blog started. Real essays are coming soon.</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a placeholder post. It exists so the blog, the RSS feed, and the sitemap have something to show while the first real essay is being written.</p>
<h2>What to expect here</h2>
<p>Longer-form writing on the things I spend my time thinking about:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI systems</strong> — agents, multi-agent behavior, and alignment</li>
<li><strong>Building things</strong> — companies, products, and the craft of engineering</li>
<li><strong>Books</strong> — what I&#39;m reading and what stuck</li>
</ul>
<p>If that sounds interesting, you can get new essays by email using the form below. No spam, no schedule, just the occasional essay when there&#39;s one worth sending.</p>
