Experiments and opinions on AI, engineering, and the messy edge where theory meets shipping.
Built and led teams inside enterprises where shipping anything is a battle. Works in the gap between strategy decks and working software. Cares about platforms that reduce friction, not add layers of process.
Built and led teams in startups where nothing exists until you make it. Knows when to move fast, when to slow down, and how to figure out what actually matters.
Our recent thoughts and experiments
A raw take on what happens when you stop waiting for permission and start building what's missing — why real progress creates friction, how process becomes protection, and what the "it's in my scope" reflex really reveals about organisational priorities.
Not because it codes better. Because you refused to evolve. Here's what adaptation actually looks like.
Microservices before users. Scale before market fit. Complexity rewarded, simplicity dismissed. Engineering forgot its purpose: the product. AI is the reckoning.
Standups, sprint planning, retros—all designed for human limitations AI is now bypassing. I stopped running agile ceremonies. We ship faster. Here's the truth.
AI models are non-deterministic. Prompts are suggestions, not guarantees. CLI tools with strict heuristics give you what prompting can't: actual enforcement.
Engineers treat context windows like they're infinite, then blame AI when quality drops. Managing context is the skill nobody talks about—and everyone needs.
