The ideas are easier to read now and the first videos - I went back through all 27 ideas to make them easier to read. And I started making short videos.
blog :: Working notes from whilst doing the work.
Over my head and I don't know where to start - Two messages on the same day at opposite ends. They turned out to be the same problem.
Build with AI and trust what you make: the prompts and notes to get you there - The biggest update yet. Every idea now has a sharper prompt and its own diagram, and the working notes for working with AI have grown.
The soft skills of working with AI - Most of getting good with AI is not the tool. It is how you work with it, moment to moment.
I have stopped trying to help people build apps - Building isn't the hard part anymore. Changing what you built without breaking it is.
AI did the easy part - Building fast with AI hides the risks you have not named. Pick one real person, walk them through your build, fix the step where they get stuck. Skip this and the rework comes due in week six.
The moment before your name goes on it - There is a pause right before you launch. That pause is not about polish. It is about the quiet contract with someone who decided to trust you. Right now you decide what happens to it.
All the research, nothing to show for it - what if you could deliver this week? - You bought the books. Watched the tutorials. Spun up projects on three different stacks with two different AI coding tools. Investigated frameworks, compared hosting platforms, read threads from people who sound like they have it figured out.
A different set of eyes makes all the difference - A single suggestion from a fresh perspective can change everything.
Multi-Sided Systems Blur Faster - The issue wasn’t that the user was vague. It was that there wasn’t just one.
If AI Is Your Guardrail, You’ve Already Lost - AI can move fast. But it won’t fix direction. If that part isn’t clear, speed just gets you to the wrong place quicker.
Where the Thinking Is - A rework based on what’s holding up in real builds and where the shape+build+launch+run+close thinking is right now.
