Notes from the field.

Working notes on the craft — engineering at scale, the AI-era developer experience, frontend that most teams leave on the table, and whatever else has my attention this week.

Building anchor: dual-surface product pages, agents.json, delegated-authority checkout, and AEO instrumentation
Anchor is an open-source AI-native product catalog. Every product has a human page AND three statically-cached LLM-facing endpoints. A /.well-known/agents.json descriptor publishes capabilities in the Agentic Commerce Protocol shape. A delegated-authority checkout endpoint runs an eight-check pipeline. AEO instrumentation classifies 13 LLM crawlers and logs every fetch through a proxy so cache hits stay observed. Here are the design choices that mattered.
