Live build of a Git-native tool that encrypts .env values in the repo and restores plaintext locally — from empty repo to production-level tool
Why corporate AI fails at the people layer — pick one tool, fit it to how you already work, measure outcomes not tokens, and stop chasing every new model.
The tool is the cheapest decision you'll make. The discipline around it is the whole game - and it looks a lot like the boring engineering discipline it always did.
Why the Terminal Never Dies: CLI Power, AI Agents, and Practical Guardrails
A hundred-story tower is built by laborers laying one simple block at a time - the intelligence was always in the plan, not the laborer. Build software the same way, and it holds whether the executor is a junior, you at 2am, or an agent.
If you can rent a fractional CFO, why not a fractional manager? The honest answer is more interesting than the pitch. AI ate the half of middle management you could sell as a service - and left the half that doesn't fractionalize cleanly.
How the industry shift from traditional org charts to a system-driven, AI-assisted “pod” model where early-stage companies focus on just builders and sellers, deferring classic middle management until roughly 20–30 people.
In an early-stage company you need exactly two kinds of people - the ones who build and the ones who sell. The whole middle layer, the coordination, the who-updates-whom, AI now does that. Here is how far you can defer it, and where the law-firm model lets you share it instead.
We built a magazine staffed by AI agents – six columnists, a production pipeline, and an AI Editor-in-Chief. Not a prompt and a prayer. Here's how MUXI powers the whole operation and what I've learned.
For centuries, reading meant arguing in the margins — until we made it passive, one upgrade at a time, ending at "summarize this for me." Here's why the oldest reading habit we abandoned is the best defense against outsourcing your thinking to a machine.
The fundamental flaw in how we're building AI systems - and what to do about it
