Below you will find my adversarial review prompt that I give to Claude on every pull request review. This is a living document that references dozens of cascading documentation. Collectively, over 1,700 norms contained in the "WitFoo Way" are reviewed. Also, the integrity of the work done by what is often a lazy or dishonest Claude session. In spite of the rigorous testing I outlined in Coding with Claude: What I've Learned Building a Cybersecurity Platform with AI , Claude finds new innovative ways to come off the rails. I use this prompt in an independent session to find shortcuts and lies from the PR session. I have run this prompt dozens of times and it has never come back without hits.
Over the course of a year from November 2025 to November 2026, Mai and I researched and eventually moved to New Zealand. We were looking for a life change and my work at WitFoo needed to plan for international expansion. My extensive notes are found below.
Our move was made much easier by a few advisors. I am pretty good at paperwork and research and thought of doing it myself to save some money. I ended up feeling that all 3 of these advisors over delivered on value and made our move much more successful.
