Now we solve detective cases together, craft intent through a talking teddy bear.
This is how I try to keep it all together - one REST endpoint coordinating human and AI attention. One simple pattern that solves the problem of focus. When you pattern match, you're not really reasoning as you work through a problem. You're collecting data. That's why I build systems to do that for me, an executable markdown "casebook" that renders to my talking teddy bear view port, reaches out into my infrastructure and gives it a voice. A real time view "through the portal" into the graph that is our delivery infrastructure in all its glory, and all the events its producing flowing back into a nest of pattern addicts.
This new world we live in is fun for people like me.
Give me all the data, we'll look through it together. Make it beautiful and we'll stare at it together until we find the shape of the problem and its solution together. Make it easy and we'll do anything.
The funnel is the point, the attractor anchors the funnel. We're not solving a problem by reasoning about it. We're solving a problem by collecting enough context about it until the solution can't help but become apparent.
This is how I do that, with a simple REST endpoint and a bit of detective work.
