I build software with AI — not as a concept, but as a daily practice. This blog is where I write about what I'm learning: the tools that work, the patterns that don't, and the decisions that matter when you're building real systems with artificial intelligence.

Every post is grounded in things I've actually shipped or broken. I cite sources, show architectures, and try to be honest about what's hype and what's useful.

New posts go out weekly. If you'd like them in your inbox, subscribe to the newsletter.

The blog itself is part of the experiment — it's built with Astro, runs on Cloudflare Workers, and publishes via an AI-assisted pipeline. Read the latest: Automation Without the Anxiety.
