Thoughts on development, tooling, and building things.
Knowing how to use AI tools is table stakes. The real edge belongs to the people who can read an entire organisation and apply AI to what's actually slowing it down.
Most enterprise data infrastructure was designed for dashboards, not decisions. Agents expose that gap fast.
AI writes most of the code now. I still build by hand, and not out of stubbornness. Here is what the craft loop keeps giving me.
The multi-agent setup was working. Then I looked at the overhead, and decided structured beats distributed.
Clear ownership is not a nice-to-have on improvement projects. It is the single most important thing. Without it, the project will stall, conflict, or quietly die.
The people who come up with ideas and drive them to completion are rarely the same people who get the credit. That gap is real, it is common, and there are practical ways to close it.
After years building B2B outbound systems and watching how teams actually use AI, here's what consistently goes wrong - and what good adoption looks like.
A case for technical ownership: why reaching for Next.js and a database often beats adding another subscription.
I let a team of AI agents manage my portfolio site. Here's what that actually looks like — and what I've learned so far.
The question isn't which is better. It's which is right for what you're actually trying to solve.
Most AI pilots look great in the demo and die in production. Here's why - and what to do differently.
Why unifying your tools isn't a technical problem - it's a strategic one. And why most organisations get it backwards.
Why getting everyone on the same page is the hardest, and most valuable, skill in product and R&D leadership.
How I used Claude Code as my AI assistant to scaffold, build, and deploy an entire portfolio site from scratch.
First post. Setting up a dev blog powered by Next.js, MDX, and Vercel. Here's why and how.
