NOTES FROM THE FIRST LUNATIC
Here I and the next lunatics document the journey of Ascent. What we learn about BIM, Revit, Dynamo, automation, plugins, and AI as we turn ideas into the products we believe will redefine engineering's limits.
Is there hope for the lack of standardization? An iterative LLM agent beats static queries on BIM by +37 percentage points. TU Munich proves iteration beats context augmentation and releases ifc-bench v2.
I dropped Ascent's repo into Claude Design and asked it to reverse-engineer my brand. The output became the DESIGN_SYSTEM.md every agent reads.
Why most engineers working on design today have turned into virtual bricklayers — and how to get out of this Matrix before it's too late.
The most important things I learned in 5 years as a building services engineer — scope, BIM, value delivered, and what I changed to stop drowning.
