We spend $0.001 to decide if we need to spend $0.08.
A cheap Haiku call gates every edit before it reaches our $0.05-0.10 Sonnet call. Fails open too, a broken gate should never block a paying user.
How are other agentic builders solving this?

Shopify stores don't break at 10k SKUs because of scale.
They break because options are coupled to products.
5 colors × 4 sizes × 2 materials = 40 variants per product.
Fix: Modularity + Hierarchy + Constraint
One change, not 300.

A flip-flop is 2 NOR gates wired so each output feeds back into the other's input.
S=1 → locks to 1
R=1 → locks to 0
Both 0 → holds last value forever
This is 1 bit of memory.
Stack millions → RAM.
Two gates. A loop. The foundation of memory. #coding#buildinpublic
When it clicked, engineers built computers from vacuum tubes. ENIAC (1945) had 18,000 of them. Combinations of tubes formed logic gates. Those gates built circuits that solved in seconds what took humans days.
Currently reading CODE by Charles Petzold.
The logic behind telegraphs and relays is the core of every modern computer.
A relay: weak current in → magnet flips arm → strong signal out. On or off.
That became logic gates. Gates became CPUs. CPUs became everything.
