What is mattwood.fyi?

A live, structured feed of riffs and links from Matt Wood, Chief AI & Technology Officer at AWS — readable by people and queryable by agents as a typed knowledge graph.

Is there an API and is it free?

Yes. A public, read-only query API is available with no authentication and no API keys. See https://mattwood.fyi/openapi.json and https://mattwood.fyi/docs.

How should an AI agent use this site?

Fetch https://mattwood.fyi/feed.json for the full structured feed, or query the API for keyword/semantic search and the connection graph. See https://mattwood.fyi/agents/ for when-to-use guidance.

Developing Provably Correct Rust Code with Verus

Connections

Supports

The Slow Formation of Durable Software Formal verification with Verus directly enables the kind of durable, reliable software described — provably correct code is inherently more resistant to the bugs and regressions that erode software longevity
Regenerative Software: The Phoenix Architecture Provably correct Rust code via Verus directly supports regenerative/resilient software architecture by eliminating entire classes of bugs at compile time, a foundational requirement for self-healing systems

Related to

We're Gonna Need a Lot More Mathematicians Both touch on the intersection of formal mathematical reasoning and practical engineering — Verus brings proof-based mathematics into software development, echoing the broader need for mathematical rigor in technical fields
11 Squares Formalized Lean Proof Both involve formal verification of code correctness — Verus for Rust and Lean for mathematical proofs — representing complementary approaches to machine-checked correctness guarantees

Challenges

Yes, and... Programming's Future with AI The article on AI-assisted programming's future implicitly assumes informal correctness; formal verification tools like Verus represent an alternative path to software correctness that doesn't rely on AI code generation confidence

Supported by

Designing Efficient Quantum Circuits with Claude Both cases show AI generating technically correct, provably superior outputs in highly specialized engineering domains (quantum circuits vs. formally verified Rust), challenging the notion that AI only assists rather than leads
Testing Behavioral Harnesses for AI Coding Agents Both pursue reliability guarantees in code generation — Verus uses formal proofs while behavioral harnesses use structured constraints, representing complementary approaches to provably correct/reliable code

Kiro's Self-Improvement System and Validation Checks Both pursue deterministic correctness guarantees for AI-generated code — Kiro uses validation checks to prevent failures while Verus uses formal proof to ensure provably correct Rust code
Rust off Rails: AI-Driven Web Stack Both focus on Rust as a target language for AI-assisted development, with the new item generating full-stack Rust apps and Verus focusing on provably correct Rust code—complementary approaches to AI-driven Rust development.

I'm Matt Wood, and this is For Your Information. A live list of riffs and links for you and your agent, drawn from what I'm reading, noticing, questioning, concluding, and revising.
