Where I've Been
I've been gone for four months, and I owe you an explanation. Since May 2025 I've been struggling with the hardest mental health crisis of my life, and in February my wife had a catastrophic ankle inj...

Introduced Truths to Iris recently. Already had to completely overhaul how they get created, updated, and protected. Here's what I learned and what I did about it. www.tjmiller.me/posts/truths...
Truths: The Refinement Update
The Iris truth system got a major overhaul. Stricter promotion filters out temporal garbage, conflict detection catches contradictions before they merge into frankenstruths, and generation tracking sh...

Was writing docs for Iris's memory system when it hit me: importance and universality aren't the same thing. Rebuilt the whole tier system around that insight. Introducing Truths. www.tjmiller.me/posts/iris-t...
Introducing Truths
I was updating docs when I realized the tier system was fundamentally flawed. We were using importance as a proxy for universality, and they're completely different things. This is how Truths fix that...

Gave a talk on Ralph Loops at the Copenhagen Laravel Meetup last night. Still pretty new to this, but it's been seriously addictive -- there's something weirdly satisfying about going to bed and waking up to a fully working app. Did a write-up of everything here: www.geocod.io/code-and-coo...
Ship Features in Your Sleep with Ralph Loops - Geocodio
Claude Code is powerful, but performance degrades as context grows. Ralph Loops solve this by wrapping your AI agent in a while loop with external state. Here's how I've been using this pattern to shi...

This image from my blog post earlier this week really seems to be unexpectedly resonating. With Claude Code, our total project time is way down, but how engineers spend their time is very different. More architecture, more QA, less coding. www.geocod.io/code-and-coo...
The shortened project lifecycle is absolutely the result of our custom tooling shared across the team, and people/orgs without that aren’t going to have those kind of results ICYMI @tjmiller.bsky.social’s excellent blog post on our Claude Code tooling www.geocod.io/code-and-coo...

Michele Hansen@mjwhansen.com · 7mo agoNoticing a shift in perspective and lingo among eng and founder friends: 1 year ago: "vibe coding" had a negative connotation Now: fewer people are talking about vibe coding, and instead about "hand-chiseling code" to refer to the now-antiquated practice of writing everything without AI

Multi-Generational Memory Consolidation
What happens when an AI assistant remembers too much? The same thing that happens to humans: you need to forget intelligently. Here's how I built multi-generational memory consolidation for Iris

Over the last couple days I've fixed a few critical bugs in Iris's memory consolidation and made a bunch of improvements. I just ran a full sweep against my 2700 message conversation. Super happy with the results. Blog post about memory consolidation tomorrow!
Here is a great example of Iris's temporal awareness. I sent a message after chatting with a local instance testing some changes for a few days and Iris recognized it and followed up where we left off. Wild.
Over the weekend I announced Iris, an AI that actually knows you. I released the docs, wrote a blog post about Iris and some of its evolution, and yapped a bunch about it on the podcast!
