Add "the repo is the tracker" AI PM process blog post#10
Merged
Conversation
# Problem The blog had no engineering category or posts. This adds the first entry under a new Engineering section, covering an in-repo project management system built around XP principles adapted for AI agent workflows. # Solution Adds the markdown source for the post at `_posts/engineering/2026-06-03-the-repo-is-the-tracker.md` and its generated HTML output at `engineering/2026-06-03-the-repo-is-the-tracker.html`. The post describes a four-layer system (lighthouse, epic, phase, task) that keeps plan and code colocated so agent sessions can bootstrap from current reality rather than stale context. It draws a direct line from Kent Beck's XP practices to the constraints of stateless agent sessions. Also adds `engineering/index.html` as the new category landing page and wires it into the homepage `index.html` above the existing Side Projects section. # Notes The homepage now has an Engineering section above Side Projects. If the desired sort order differs (e.g. alphabetical or by post volume), that ordering should be adjusted before merge.
