Compile to Architecture - The Phoenix Architecture
For a long time we’ve treated frameworks as the target of software development. But if systems are meant to be regenerated and replaced safely, the real compilation target has to be the architecture itself.
Evaluations Are the Real Codebase - The Phoenix Architecture
Why behavior outlives implementations
Regenerative Software - The Phoenix Architecture
The Generative Stack - The Phoenix Architecture
Trying to find the best tool or platform for generative software in 2026 is a mistake that could haunt you for decades
Essentials of Compilation
Compilers are notoriously difficult programs to teach and understand. Most books about compilers dedicate one chapter to each progressive stage, a structure ...
The Specification Is Not a Document - The Phoenix Architecture
Imagine joining a software project a few years from now. It is a large, mature system. It has thousands of business rules, years of operational experience,…
When Does a Specification Become a Program? - The Phoenix Architecture
A spec can contain prose, tests, schemas, formal models, even executable code. The useful boundary is not the syntax but, rather, what survives: if you throw the implementation away, what has to remain so you can build the next one?

Code Is Cheap Now, And That Changes Everything | Pere Villega
AI coding agents have made code production nearly free. Drawing on insights from Kent Beck, Paul Ford, and Simon Willison, this post argues that the value has shifted from writing code to defining systems — contracts, invariants, SLAs, and verification.

Modular: The Claude C Compiler: What It Reveals About the Future of Software
Compilers occupy a special place in computer science. They're a canonical course in computer science education. Building one is a rite of passage. It forces you to confront how software actually works, by examining languages, abstractions, hardware, and the boundary between human intent and machine execution.
Integrating Anthropic's Model Hardware Standard (MHS)
In this blog post, we demonstrate the ability of Anthropic’s Model Hardware Standard (MHS) to help us overcome these challenges to contribute to a local citizen science project in Pacifica, California, and run a closed-loop experiment to optimize how our compiler makes decisions around pipetting settings.
