Working effectively with agents without outsourcing judgment
I’m David Beveridge, a remote-first senior engineering leader working where product-platform architecture, technical strategy, and execution sequencing have to hold together. This site is part writing archive, part project notebook, and part record of the questions I keep coming back to.
