Writing
Thoughts on AI, building products, and growing without venture capital.

I Built an AI Chief of Staff. Then Claude Shipped Everything I Built. In 52 Days.
I spent 14 weeks building an AI system with 8 services, a memory layer, and a multi-model council. Then Anthropic shipped /schedule, Auto-Memory, Agent Teams, and Remote Control. Here's what that felt like and what it means for every builder.

The Digital Bureaucracy Manifesto
We gave AI one job: kill bureaucracy. It studied every pattern, every hierarchy, every approval chain. Then it built a better one. Faster. More scalable. Running 24/7. I call this Digital Bureaucracy — and it's the most important conversation nobody in tech is having.

I Hired Talent I Could Never Actually Afford - A Bootstrapped Founder's AI Army
I used to spend hours coordinating tasks I can now complete in minutes with AI. For a bootstrapped founder, AI became an always-on team I could never have hired otherwise.

Everything Changed While You Were Sleeping
Last week Andrej Karpathy left an AI agent running on a single GPU before going to bed. By morning, the agent had run 700 experiments. And they actually worked. This isn't an 'AI helped me' story. This is an 'AI worked without me' story.

I Spent 10 Hours Before Writing a Single Line of Code. That's Why It Worked.
Everyone's talking about AI coding speed. Cool stories. Most of them fall apart at the first real user. I want to tell you a different story — one where the 10 hours nobody posts about is the reason the exciting part actually worked.
AI
Your AI Doesn't Remember Yesterday. That's One of the Biggest Hidden Costs in Engineering.
Your AI agents are powerful, fast, and increasingly capable... yet they still forget too much. A workflow breaks the same test another workflow broke three days earlier. Same root cause. Same fix. No learning carried forward.
Building
I Said SaaS Is Dead. You Didn't Believe Me. Here's the Proof.
"You can't build a CRM in 15 days." "I won't believe it until I see it." Fine. Watch this. A production system serving thousands of students, built from scratch.
AI
Prompt Engineering Matters. But Context Engineering Is Where the Real Multiplier Lives.
Many people working with AI think the main job is writing prompts. My experience has been a bit different: the critical work starts before the prompt. It starts with building context.
AI
AI Is an Amplifier. It Makes Good Thinkers Great. It Makes Poor Thinkers Fail Faster.
I gave two people the same task. Same AI tool, same access, same brief. One finished in 30 minutes, output went straight to production. The other spent 2 hours, result was unusable. Both told me 'I used AI.'
Strategy
SaaS Is Dead. I Buried It in 15 Days. Here's the Proof.
Last month I looked at the invoice from Intercom and something inside me said enough. $132/seat/month. We were paying nearly $100K a year for generic tools that didn't know us.

AI Literacy Is the Most Critical Skill of 2026
The printing press democratized information but literacy took centuries. AI democratized power. We don't have centuries this time.
