Thoughts in progress from a founder still figuring it out.

A decade at Apple moved me farther from the work. AI agents brought me back.

The next era of AI watches the work, catches the gaps, and starts moving before you ask.

The 17-minute call I can’t remember, and the founder tax hiding inside every quick chat.

Tokens put usage back on the P&L. Most teams still price like it’s 2016.

On silence, monks, and the trade I didn't see coming.

AI makes execution easier than ever. That only makes prioritization harder.

You can't scoreboard your way to good work.

What 14 years of "paint the back of the fence" looks like when AI agents never stop finding things to fix.
