DxDev builds autonomous AI agent systems that run production ops. Follow the build log: architecture decisions, live metrics, and patterns from a real operating system.https://dxdev.com/https://dxdev.com/blog/making-tests-finish/https://dxdev.com/blog/making-tests-finish/When the test suite stopped finishing — not flaking, hanging — CI became a broken feedback loop. A layered defense pattern for async, network, and distributed state in agentic systems.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://dxdev.com/blog/multi-agent-file-conflicts/https://dxdev.com/blog/multi-agent-file-conflicts/When you run multiple AI agents in the same codebase, they will eventually clobber each other's work. Here's what we discovered and how we solved it with git worktrees.Wed, 08 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://dxdev.com/blog/the-32-day-revolution/https://dxdev.com/blog/the-32-day-revolution/Thirty-two days, ten Discord bots, thirty-nine Python tools. Nobody planned this multi-agent architecture — every layer was forced by a specific bottleneck. The story of how the system you need at scale doesn't exist until you've earned it.Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://dxdev.com/blog/when-external-integrations-collide/https://dxdev.com/blog/when-external-integrations-collide/Wiring Jira into OpDek hung the test suite. Not a failure — a hang. Integrations are infrastructure stress tests in disguise. Here's what the cascade taught us about implicit assumptions.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://dxdev.com/blog/zombie-blocked-everything/https://dxdev.com/blog/zombie-blocked-everything/A single stuck proposal generated 17 cascading alerts and created a meta-deadlock. Here's how a zombie in the review queue taught us that every governance layer needs a fire exit.Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT
