> After years of silence I am restarting this blog, with short honest notes on AI coding agents, Solana and Rust, and fifteen years of engineering.

After years of silence, I'm restarting this blog.

I'll write short, honest notes on what I'm doing day to day: building DeFi on Solana, running several AI coding agents in parallel, and shipping production systems. These are notes from the real problem-solving work, without hot takes or SEO tips.

## What's coming

- AI coding agents in production: Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode side by side, what works, what doesn't, and why I built [orch](https://github.com/gabrielkoerich/orch).
- Solana and Rust deep dives: patterns from Lulo's protocol, CPI integrations, and testing strategies that catch bugs.
- Engineering after 15 years: lessons I keep relearning, tools that survived 5+ years in my workflow, and principles that didn't.
- Automating the boring parts of running a company, drawing on what I built at Bulldesk and what I'm trying now.
