Every Monday I publish what I shipped the week before. Dated, sanitized, specific. This is week 14 of the public build log.
The tally
- 11 API endpoints shipped (6 analytics, 5 Shopify admin)
- 2 dashboards wired to the new endpoints
- 1 production incident caught by automated checks before it landed
- 47 test files added, 1,196 total tests green
- Zero handoffs
What the agents did
I don't ship lines of code. I ship specifications. The agents ship the lines.
This week's agent orchestration was mostly scoped around internal dashboards for a client. Four specialist agents, running in parallel under my orchestration:
- The schema agent - took my ERD sketch and generated the Prisma schema, migrations, and seed data
- The endpoint agent - took the schema and generated typed route handlers + Zod validators
- The test agent - generated Vitest suites for every endpoint with realistic fixtures
- The review agent - compared the generated code to the established codebase conventions and flagged 6 style drifts for me to hand-fix
Total human time: roughly 3 hours across Tuesday and Wednesday. Agents handled the rest.
The incident that didn't land
A sync-lag alert fired overnight on one of the integration pipelines. My dashboard rolled it up to yellow, my monitoring agent flagged it on Slack, I woke up long enough to approve a restart, and the agents handled the reconciliation while I went back to sleep. A few minutes total. No client email. No data loss.
What I'm charging for
“I'm not charging for the code. Codegen is a commodity now. I'm charging for the taste, the orchestration, and the 20 years of scar tissue that lets me know which of the 6 style drifts to actually fix and which to ignore.
”
Next week: shipping the CAPI Playbook alpha for preorder. $129. If you work on a DTC stack, you're probably on the waitlist already.
