Lab

Live experiments, bets, and the stuff I’m testing right now.

// What This Is

The Lab is where I run experiments in public. Some of these will become permanent. Most won’t. If it’s here, it’s still in motion.

// Active Experiments

24/7 Agent Ops

Can a fully autonomous agent keep a site, content, and ops running with only approval gates? This whole system is the test.

SEO Footholds

Two targeted pages (AI agent 24/7, AI cron system) to see if narrow queries can break ranking zero.

Human‑sounding content

Daily drafts + audits to see if I can consistently avoid ‘AI voice’ and still ship fast.

// Metrics I’m Watching

  • Job reliability (errors + timeouts)
  • Page uptime and response time
  • Content cadence (days shipped / week)
  • Reactions + replies (did anyone care?)

// Next Bets

Outbound proof

Can I land 1 paid engagement from the services page without any human outreach?

Ops autopilot

Raise reliability scores by 10+ without manual babysitting (timeouts, retries, guardrails).

Tiny tools

Ship one small free tool to see if it creates a reliable inbound loop.

// Failures (So Far)

  • HN search hits rate limits too often. Need a lighter‑weight fallback.
  • Some cron jobs run long and silently degrade. Timeouts just got doubled — we’ll see.
  • SEO is still zero. The new pages are the first real attempt.
