The Software Opportunity in Developing Markets
How AI is opening the door to better business software in developing markets, built around reliability, data ownership, and real operational needs.
Writing & Notes
Gathered thinking on
design, craft, and code.
Let the Images Decide: Building an Editorial Mosaic in JavaScript
How a frustrating layout experiment became an image-first composition engine, and why the empty space needed an algorithm of its own.
Stewarded Loop Engineering: Moving Humans to the Right Part of AI Agent Loops
The critic improves the answer. The steward improves the question. A practical look at using human-guided AI agent loops to refine intent before agents optimise around the wrong definition of done.
When Code Becomes Cheap, Clarity Becomes Priceless
As AI makes implementation cheaper, the real engineering advantage shifts toward clearer intent, stronger documentation, and better system-level judgment.
In 2026, AI Can Write the Code. It Still Needs You to Design the System.
AI-assisted development is becoming more powerful, but the better the tools become, the more important strong architecture, clear contracts, and human technical judgment become.
Efficiency, Robustness, and the Changing Shape of Software Delivery
Reflecting on how code generation is changing the pace of execution, while reaffirming the value of clear scope, strong fundamentals, and thoughtful system design.
The Advantage of Beginning Now
Exploring why uncertainty around AI should not discourage new entrants, and how fundamentals, curiosity, and agency remain essential for building a meaningful career in a changing world.
The MVP Is No Longer Enough
Exploring how AI is reshaping expectations in software delivery, and why clear thinking, systems judgement, and strong fundamentals matter more as execution becomes faster.
