The stack, as at September 2026
What actually runs a one-person delivery firm — the component inventory, the path a thought takes to a merged pull request, and the config that governs all of it.
Lab Notes
Experiments in progress
Things I've tried, what worked, what broke, what surprised me. Separate from the portfolio — this is where I show the work while it's still rough.

The scope survives the pitch and dies in integration
Why AI programmes stall in month four, and the five questions that would have caught it in the room.

COCOMO thinks I'm 49 engineers
A census of 47 repositories and 707,000 lines of code, and what the number honestly does and doesn't prove.

The unattended-run envelope
An agent built, tested, cross-reviewed and deployed a working tool to production in eleven hours while I slept. The interesting part is the paperwork.

Nothing Is Ever As It Seems
A fortnight where my own agent tooling ate the sprint it was built to protect, and what the wreckage taught me about verification.

The internet keeps naming my stack
Four teams shipped names for things already running in my practice, all within five weeks. I checked the dates, and the flattering version didn't survive.

The dashboard I tore down this week
A gstack sprint shipped it in April. Eighty-two days later I deleted it — and the teardown taught me more than the build.

I built my friend an offline trip companion. The code was the easy part.
A Lab Note on building a custom, offline-first travel app for one friend's month in Cyprus and the Greek islands — what the AI got confidently wrong, and why the valuable part was never the code.

Operation Last Drinks
I shipped a video game about my local pub without writing a line of code. My mates are NPCs now. Notes from four autonomous milestones, a soft launch that humbled me in ten minutes, and a manifest doctrine that earned its keep three times in a day.

The system I built to deliver on my potential
More AI capability isn't fixing what's actually broken — the bottleneck has moved upstream, to the question itself. A personal AI ops stack in three parts: Vasko OS, FortyTwo, Hermes. Why each one exists, what shortcoming it addresses, and what they are reaching for together.

Patches welcome
I installed gstack in last month's Lab Note. This month I shipped a patch back to it. A note on why open source is having a moment again, why AI coding tools are the reason solo consultants can finally participate, and why we should.

Bubble wrap to merged PR: eight hours with gstack
A mini PC, an open-source Claude Code skill pack, and a Tuesday afternoon spent watching an autonomous AI engineering team catch the bugs I would have shipped.
