AI makes creation effortless. That's the problem. From unnecessary dashboards to over-engineered authentication systems, AI fills every gap with something that seems useful. Here's why I spent a week removing features from an app that could have taken two days.

I've been trying to figure out how I got comfortable with AI so I can help others get there. There are many tricks and tips that can be shared that can make someone more effective but the thing I keep coming back to is the practice. The more

A small project for a non-profit client revealed why I'm choosing different tools now. I no longer want tools that expect me to use them. I want tools that my tools can use. The future isn't no-code, it's AI-orchestrated code.

I'm building software again, but the labels don't fit. Between tactical automation, strategic consulting, weekend GPT-5 binges, and creating tools only I'll use, I'm navigating what it means to build when AI changes everything.

I accidentally discovered GitHub will run my Python scripts for free, forever, on schedule. Two hours and one rabbit hole later, I'd automated something I'd been doing manually for months. This is why I can't leave well enough alone and why I love this moment in tech.

Companies leverage proprietary data for AI advantage. As individuals, we should too. I'm building my own personal data pipeline to make all my scattered context (notes, conversations, insights) searchable and mine. Here's why you should consider doing the same.

AI can generate any script, but handing it off to non-technical users is still a nightmare. I found a way to use AI to build visual workflows that others can actually run and modify. Here's my breakthrough with n8n and Cursor.

AI isn't just making existing processes faster—it's enabling organizations to adopt capabilities they could never afford before. This creates leapfrog advantages for players previously locked out by resource constraints.
