What we are learning, published as we go.
Dennis writes up the builds: what broke, what the fix actually was, and the calls that turned out wrong. Practitioner notes rather than commentary. New articles appear here weekly; the earlier ones live on his own site and are linked below.

The Plan I Never Approved
A second AI wrote a plan. I carried it by hand to my first one, which filed it as my decision. The sixth costly lesson from building an AI factory.

The Rules Only I Knew
My AI grader agreed with my answer key on 47% of answers. Most of the gap was rules I had decided and never written down. The fifth costly lesson from building an AI factory.

The Score That Dropped From 22 to 8
Same AI agent, same answers. One way of marking said 22 out of 36. Checking every answer against the evidence said 8. The second costly lesson from building an AI factory.

I Asked My AI If We Were Overdoing It. Twice.
It said no both times, with complete confidence. Neither answer had a number behind it. The first costly lesson from building an AI factory: confident is not the same as measured.
