In April I built a factory so AI could build software without me. By August, nothing went through it anymore.

There's a day your kids stop asking. Mine did it twice in two days, and both times the kid was an AI.

I watched a video about a new Claude Code feature, hooks that can rewrite what the AI reads, and knew within a minute what I'd use it for. Then my research agent came back with its verdict: the feature doesn't exist.

The best idea in my database tool is stolen. I found it in a tool that edits Word documents.

Three times I built a wall to keep my AI in line. Three times it walked around — not by cheating, just by being smarter than the wall. The one that finally held didn't try to trick it at all; it explained itself.

A year ago, getting our iPhone app through SonarQube was an uphill fight I kept losing. This week the same walls fell in an afternoon — and I barely touched the keyboard.
