My Agent is Making the Buying Decisions

Choosing tech based on what accelerates my agentic workflow means I focus on what to build and why, not how to navigate dashboards. When Claude Code can use Vapi's CLI but struggles with ElevenLabs' UI, the decision makes itself.

To Stay Current on AI, Stop Reading and Start Building

The most advanced AI workflows don't exist in ChatGPT. They're in software development environments. You don't need to code well or for others. Just build. Here's a workflow I use and what it demonstrates about AI's strengths, weaknesses, and where it's headed.

Fast fashion has come to software. Fast fashion brought rapid response to specific needs, ability to serve narrow market segments and the prioritization of speed over scalability to a previously staid industry. AI is bringing that to software development. I built a workout timer months back for 20 min body

So, maybe 'prompt engineering' is for real?

Integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into software infrastructure isn't just another step in technological evolution—it's a paradigm shift in how we build and interact with code. I've always relied on the predictable nature of traditional programming: input A always leads to output B.
