Featured Project

AIDLC Framework

AIDLC brings phase-driven workflows, review gates, and quality checkpoints to AI-assisted software development. Instead of letting your AI assistant jump straight into code, AIDLC guides it through structured phases.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Kiro, and Codex.

→ Try AIDLC
// Get started in seconds
npx @rasensio/aidlc init
// Your AI follows the lifecycle
const lifecycle = aidlc.start({
template: 'full-feature',
scope: 'full',
platform: 'kiro'
});
// Gates enforce quality
await lifecycle.transition('design');
// ✓ All artifacts complete
// ✓ Review gates passed

Tokenomics: Nobody Knows Where the AI Money Goes

AI vendors moved to metered billing and most buyers can't read the meter. That gap is the next big tooling market, and engineering should own it before finance does.

Stop Paying Frontier Prices for If-Statements

Most AI calls in production are decisions, not prose. Jev and the new decision models make the case for picking a model per task. My own numbers say I haven't.

Autopilot Built Itself in a Day. Here Is What That Proves.

We estimated the autopilot at weeks. Agents built it in about 90 minutes, four releases, no human answering a question. The speed proves less than you think. The rest is the story.
