Closing the Loop to Full Autonomy

Written by Mike McGreal, Dendro Logic | Engineering | Published: The most important button in my development process now does almost nothing. When a pull request lands for review on one of my products, I read the summary, glance at the verdict, and hit merge. There is no heroics in it, no line-by-line audit, no […]

Shipping While We Sleep

Written by Mike McGreal, Dendro Logic | Engineering | Published: One evening in June I pointed an AI agent at a product backlog, gave it the rules of engagement, and went to bed. By the time I woke up it had shipped four features. Not four suggestions. Not four half-finished branches waiting for me to […]

Resumption-First Memory: Design Rules for Agentic Systems

Written by Mike McGreal, Dendro Logic | Engineering | Published: Every serious agentic memory system you can read about today has converged on roughly the same whiteboard. Capture the turns. Summarise them. Embed and index the result. Retrieve the relevant chunks on the next session. Inject them back into the model. The substrate is now […]

Surviving Claude Compaction: How to Make Your Sessions Outlive Their Context Window

Written by Mike McGreal, Dendro Logic | Engineering | Published: 22 May 2026 Agent amnesia is the productivity problem I keep coming back to. Every fresh session starts cold. Every compaction inside a long session severs the chain of reasoning the model had built up. Every hand-off across days, machines, or developers loses what the […]

Diagrams as Mermaid, Scraping With Permission, and Triage That Knows Your Stack

Written by Mike McGreal, Dendro Logic | Engineering | Published: 9 May 2026 Last week I pasted a URL into the #research channel of my Discord. Thirty seconds later, a verdict came back in the same channel: Interesting. The article describes a memory system; my brain already has hybrid retrieval, typed knowledge graph, and MCP-driven […]

DGX Spark Optimisation, Four Iterations On: From Defaults to 308 Tokens Per Second Sustained

Four iterations of inference tuning on a single DGX Spark and gpt-oss-120b. Same hardware, same model, 4.3x single-stream gain through flag tuning, an EAGLE3 negative result, a from-source vLLM build, and a one-line CUDA graph fix.

The AI Productivity Paradox, and the Team-Context Infrastructure That Fixed Mine

Written by Mike McGreal, Dendro Logic | Engineering | Published: 1 May 2026 The contradiction nobody is talking about loudly enough Adoption is real. Stack Overflow’s 2024 Developer Survey reports 63.2% of professional developers now use AI tools, with another 13.5% planning to adopt soon. 81% identify productivity as the biggest benefit they hope for.

NVIDIA DGX Spark Concurrency Benchmark: 120x Throughput the Single-Stream Reviews Miss

Benchmarking the NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10, 128GB) reveals 120x more throughput at concurrency 256 than single-stream reviews show. Full vLLM config and production workload results.
