Technical notes and original writing from my own learning: business analysis, MBSE, knowledge engineering, and AI tooling in practice.

Containers die whenever; two hours of progress should not die with them

Fourth post in the agent sandbox series. Move progress out of container memory onto a shared disk, then delete the working container on purpose — another one picks up at page 17. Including the honest part: this "automatic recovery" still needs a human to press something.

A container per task fixes isolation, and leaves the user waiting 45 seconds

Second post in the agent sandbox series. One container per task sounds obvious, and it makes the user wait 45 to 90 seconds after they hit submit. Where those seconds actually go, and why the interface built for managing a cluster has no business on the path a user clicks.

Put an AI agent in one process and day one gives you two walls

First post in the agent sandbox series. Ask an AI to work for two hours straight and the gap between "it runs" and "it ships" turns out to be one thing: isolation. A small service, deliberately killed by the system, makes the problem visible. Jargon is explained as it appears — no Kubernetes background needed.

Reading Glean: the moat is not the model, it is permissions and context

After going through the public material, my conclusion is that what makes Glean valuable is not that its search is good — it is that it finished the grinding work of "who is allowed to see what". Also my take on the claim that long context kills RAG.
