<p>Like everybody else, I straddle the line of agentic coding psychosis – excited about moving faster than ever, but deeply concerned about losing the thread and producing something incomprehensible and hard to evolve.<p>This has been a problem before – underspecified projects, specifications going out of sync with the first line of code. We've just amplified it now.<p>A lot of people (myself included) have tried to maintain good specifications in markdown to give LLMs and humans maximal context. But this is still walls of text that poison anyone's context, regardless of their artificiality.<p>So I built a way to model knowledge as a graph that both people and LLMs can consume progressively – by navigating the graph or searching for specific connectivity patterns rather than ingesting everything at once.<p>At its core it's an open specification for layers that add progressively more semantic value: starting with prose, growing into terminology, tasks, concepts, API surfaces, and structured plans.<p>The most critical component is a layer that maps artifacts (such as code) to the knowledge model with good enough precision to track drift and coverage automatically.</p>

<p>I've been working on some parts of this problem, specifically capturing and retaining other semantically useful layers of the systems we build as we build and maintain them.<p>By introducing progressive semantically enriching layers (starting with prose, reasoning and terminology and going all the way into specifying interaction surfaces), we can reduce the dark matter between spec and code, make code more disposable – if your semantics live in the spec layer rather than the implementation, you can throw away and regenerate the implementation without losing understanding – and, critically, give LLMs a way to navigate a graph of knowledge instead of gobbling up walls of text.<p><a href="https://clayers.com" rel="nofollow">https://clayers.com</a> -- <a href="https://github.com/CognitiveLayers/clayers" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/CognitiveLayers/clayers</a></p>

<p>As an international founder, I'd like the section 174 to be fully restored as it was before – not just for domestic R&D but offshore one as well, so we're not hit with 15 years deprecitation (it is as good as "infinity")<p>I also own section174.com and sec174.com<p>Would these help with visibility?</p>

<p>Omnigres | Founding Engineer | SF Bay Area HQ | REMOTE<p>At Omnigres, our north star is to enable developers to laser-focus on business needs instead of fighting technological challenges.<p>We're fighting the complexity and inefficiencies of contemporary stacks by removing them instead of hiding them.<p>At the core, we are turning Postgres into an Application Runtime. Why? Because we believe that code and data are inseparable in pretty much all of the line-of-business application systems. Turns out, when done this way, applications work a lot faster, require a lot less maintenance and are simply easier to write.<p>Our foundation is open source and is available at <a href="https://github.com/omnigres/omnigres">https://github.com/omnigres/omnigres</a><p>We're backed by some great early-stage VCs and looking to onboard people who can move quickly, learn on the go and maintain the focus on the goals. Another way to look at it: we want to meet other pragmatic idealists.<p>You can apply here <a href="https://wellfound.com/jobs/2832133-founding-engineer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://wellfound.com/jobs/2832133-founding-engineer</a> or email founders@omnigres.com</p>

<p>We are primarily talking about the backend side of this story at this time.<p>We'll see what the future will bring, as the real edge of computing is in user's hands.<p>There's a keen interest to get there for Omnigres applications,  but the shape of that is still somewhat vague.</p>
