Hi, I'm Larry.
I'm an Australian software engineer based in London. I work at CO2 AI, building tools that help large companies measure and cut their carbon emissions.
Most of what I think about these days is how our work is changing now that we build software with AI. Over the last year I've helped my team go from a couple of us experimenting with coding agents to most of the team using them every day. I've been running training, building internal tooling, and dealing with the new challenges that arise when everyone is using agents.
Things are changing so quickly that we need to be adaptable and open to change. Anyone who says they have the perfect workflow is underestimating how things will continue to change. So I try to keep up to date with the latest trends, find the patterns that will last, and drive change in my team.
This site is where I share what I'm reading, what I'm building and what I'm thinking. Here's the latest.

“Loop Engineering”
Great overview on setting up automatic AI workflows. A good nudge for us to stop babysitting agents so that we can spend more time where we actually add value.š Reading
“Learn anything with the /teach skill”
Matt Pocock is the king of agent skills right now. This video itself is a great piece of teaching about how to make skills, and the skill itself looks great! Iām going to try to learn how LLM inference works with this.š Reading
“Why AI hasn't replaced software engineers, and won't”
A good counter to the hype that AI means mass layoffs and the end of software engineering.š Reading
“AI enthusiasts and skeptics are running different races”
Charity Majors on treating AI adoption as a leadership and engineering challenge, not an argument.šØ Building
minimise-complexity: a Claude Code skill for keeping code simple
A design-and-review skill that pulls together The Grug Brained Developer and Ousterhout's A Philosophy of Software Design.šØ Building
email-assistant: an AI assistant you talk to over email
A sandboxed AI assistant you interact with by email, with its own tools, memory and budget. I built one for my mum.š Reading
“Using AI to write better code more slowly”
Nolan Lawson on using AI to be more deliberate, not just faster.šØ Building
dev-agent: an agent that runs its own dev stack and fixes bugs
A coding agent with a running dev environment that can reproduce bug reports, QA in a browser, and resolve issues.
