On building IT strategy that outlasts the people who built it.

The companies that built the modern internet went bankrupt doing it. The companies building AI infrastructure may follow the same path. That is not a warning. It is how transformative technology actually works.

I took a production iOS app, pointed Claude Code at it, and had a fully functional Android app in eight hours over a weekend. Here's exactly how it worked.

My wife started making pour-over coffee. I started building her an app. What used to take weeks of Swift development now takes hours with AI-assisted coding. Here's the story of PourCraft, caffeine dependency, and the moment I realized the game has changed.

The companies spending the most on AI have the most to gain from convincing you it will take your job. Most conversations about AI and jobs get framed one of two ways: inevitability or competition....

From 'users want commute alerts' to 1,800 lines of shipped, App Store-ready code in a single coding session. A deep dive into architecture, edge cases, and what AI-assisted iOS development actually looks like.

An honest look at OpenClaw, the open-source AI personal assistant generating real excitement. What it does, what I learned running it, and why it matters for the future of enterprise AI.

Generative AI is accelerating open-source adoption while quietly breaking the economic models that sustain it. This is not a tooling problem. It’s a policy and incentive failure.

Using Claude Code and Opus 4.5 as thinking partners helped me rebuild confidence, clarity, and quality in a growing macOS codebase.

Real change compounds when you build systems that make improvement unavoidable.
