Martin Schenk · Building in Public

Two AIs, one building and one checking, both rewarded for being thorough.

The architecture of my order system: how work enters from emails, sessions and error reports, how Claude Code decides what runs unattended in a git worktree, and the cost caps and prompt injection checks that keep it from going wrong.

How a single TODO.md per project grew into an order queue across ten projects, and why every safety gate in it exists because something broke first.

I hit the Claude Code weekly usage limit with four days left in the billing cycle, no warning at all, and had to buy emergency tokens at list price.

I gave ten projects one order queue that runs itself every five minutes.

Three parallel Claude Code sessions, one shared config file, no lock.

My content pipeline never researched a single number.

Sixteen months of fully automated content, one honest look at the Search Console data, and the moment I killed the machine.
