Work
I build multi-agent systems at Jupiter and, before that, Solana programs and observability tooling. Below are a few things I made and why I made them the way I did, then the places I have worked.
On the bench
The simulation that said no
simulateTransaction → response
"value": {
"err": "BlockhashNotFound",
"logs": [],
"unitsConsumed": 0
}
Zero compute units and an empty log: none of the instructions ran. The RPC call itself succeeded, so the failure only shows up in value.err. Anything that asks a user to sign should check that field first, not the response status.

Averages you can't add
pipes/daily_avg.pipe
-- materialise per day: keep the state, not the number
SELECT toStartOfDay(ts) AS day, city,
avgState(latency_ms) AS latency
FROM events
GROUP BY day, city
-- any window later: merge the states
SELECT toStartOfWeek(day) AS week, city,
avgMerge(latency) AS avg_latency
FROM daily_latency
GROUP BY week, city
When days have different volumes, the average of daily averages is not the weekly average. Storing the aggregate state instead of the finished number lets one materialised view answer any window correctly.

A prompt change is a deploy
evals/gate.ts (sketch)
const baseline = await runSuite(suite, { prompt: current });
const candidate = await runSuite(suite, { prompt: next });
if (candidate.passRate < baseline.passRate) {
throw new Error("regression: " + diff(baseline, candidate));
}
A sketch of the rule, not production code: a prompt or model change ships only if it scores at least as well as the current one on the same eval cases. Agents usually fail without throwing, so the comparison is the test.
