https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/ What is new in a builder's codex. Daily ingests, prompted batches, depth passes. en Wed, 06 May 2026 18:48:49 GMT https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-06/ https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-06/ Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT 15 new cards, 2 synthesis patterns, 4 new operators. Today's batch plus a back-audit of past digests (April 26 to May 4) for atomic claims that hadn't yet been ingested. https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-05/ https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-05/ Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT Six research-scan batches ran across the day, ingesting **134** insight cards, **13** synthesis patterns, **4** methodology playbooks, **2** contradictions, and **2** new operator profiles. The batches followed a depth-first protocol — fewer operators per pass, more substantive cards per operator — and capped with the new-operator workflow that produced the David Ogilvy and Dave Trott profiles. https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-04/ https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-04/ Mon, 04 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT A quality pass on the corpus. 79 cards (verified from `git log --diff-filter=M`) were modified — shallow ones rewritten with substantive primary-source quotes and stronger mechanism sections; borderline ones stub-flagged for a follow-up. Two specific re-attribution fixes for Sam Mallikarjunan and Sourav Mohanty. Only 1 new card landed; the day was about depth, not adds. https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-03/ https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-03/ Sun, 03 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT Phase 1-3 site rebuild (per-view UX redesign, pattern radial converge viz + constellation mobile map, domain pages as mini-anthologies) plus three rounds of layout audit fixes. Three phases of data triage closed gaps the new UI exposed — fixed YAML parser, deduped 3 confirmed duplicates, patched 19 dead URLs and 16 operator externals, restored LinkedIn reactions, and ingested 182 operator profiles + 216 cards. Plus 19 card modifications. https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-02/ https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-02/ Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT The biggest single ingest day in the corpus's life — 318 insight cards, 117 new operator profiles, 24 synthesis patterns, 9 contradictions, and 23 methodology playbooks all landed, on top of 286 card modifications from a launch-ready scrub. Pass C orphan-ingestion ran in 6 batches; Curiosity backfill ran in 8 batches adding external links across hundreds of profiles; the audit pass closed 8 stubs, validated 30 URLs, repaired 73 cards. https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-01/ https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-05-01/ Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT The day the corpus started. After two months of repository-only existence, the codex was reframed as a cross-domain operator-insight library. 109 insight cards and 174 operator profiles landed across 30+ ingest commits. Boris Cherny, Simon Willison, Cat Wu, April Dunford, Andy Raskin, Elena Verna, Brian Halligan, Asha Sharma, and many more got their first cards. The watchOS-inspired knowledge graph UI shipped alongside. https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-03-03/ https://codex.iamkesava.com/today/2026-03-03/ Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT Empty repo created. Two months later the codex framing landed and the first cards followed.
