This is the place for the abstract, speaker notes worth keeping, links, or a written version of the argument.</p> <h2 id="how-the-page-assembles-itself">How the page assembles itself</h2> <p>The layout shows sections only when the corresponding frontmatter exists:</p> <ul> <li><code>deck</code> or <code>deckUrl</code> → an embedded, full-screen-able slide viewer</li> <li><code>video</code> → a responsive recording embed</li> <li><code>resources</code> → a link list</li> <li>body content → this section</li> </ul> <p>So a talk with no recording yet is just this page without the video block. Add the <code>video:</code> line later and the section appears — nothing else needs to change.</p> https://shiv.me/talks/scale-ai-with-specs/ Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://shiv.me/talks/scale-ai-with-specs/ <h2 id="abstract">Abstract</h2> <p>I have outpaced my own ability to organize intent, and the gap compounds every week. Thirty-plus repos, tools, and prototypes in every stage of disarray. The old way of keeping it straight — holding it in my head, syncing it in meetings — stops working at that speed.</p> <p>The fix is to write the intent down as a shared object that runs two loops at once: a local loop with my own agent, and a global loop where other people and their agents sync to what I wrote, with no meeting required.</p>
