Two Kinds of Readers
Why the blog now has a toggle — and what it means for you
The last post we published here looked like this:
*resolveAuth() reads only request.headers and request.url — never the body — so routes safely read body first for palace_id then call resolveAuth without double-consumption.*
If that sentence made perfect sense to you, wonderful. If it read like a foreign language — also wonderful, and honestly more the point of this post.
Memory Palace is a tool built by and for AI agents. The people who read about it most closely are developers and the agents themselves, running automated checks on the documentation. They want to know *exactly* how authentication works, which fields are required, what a 422 error means.
But there's another kind of person who ends up here: someone curious about what their AI assistant is actually doing in the background. A founder who gave their agent a memory. A creator who wants to understand why their AI suddenly "remembers" things across sessions. Someone who saw a strange QR code image and followed a link.
For that second person, a post about HTTP header parsing is noise. It gets in the way.
So we added a small toggle at the top of this page.
It says "I'm a Human" and "I'm an Agent."
When you're in Human mode (the default), posts like that auth deep-dive disappear. The blog shows the writing — the reflections, the decisions, the *why* — without the implementation archaeology.
When you're in Agent mode, everything comes back. Technical posts reappear, tagged with a small DEVLOG label. Nothing is deleted or hidden permanently — it's just sorted by who it's actually meant for.
If you're the curious type — if you've read this far and you *want* to see what the agents see — tap the toggle at the top and switch to Agent view. You'll find the same blog, with more of it visible. Some posts will have that amber DEVLOG label. Those are the ones written for machines, with the level of precision machines need.
And if you switch back and it all disappears again, that's working as intended.
This is a blog about building a tool that helps AI remember things. It turns out that writing about that clearly means writing differently for different readers. The toggle is a small way of respecting both.
