Business
Strategy, revenue, and the honest arc of the journey.
You Are Not the House You Built
The third in a series. The performed self is a building you put up because contact with the real one was unbearable. Stopping it from falling down is why you are so tired.
If It Makes You Angry, It Isn't Yours
Anthony de Mello said you know someone has been brainwashed because they get angry when you challenge their beliefs. Social media and AI have made the condition almost universal.
Contact Is the Test
Self-awareness that doesn't produce contact with other people has gone bad. Dostoevsky figured this out in 1864.
The Higher Ground Strategy
When 100,000 new apps launch every day, competing on volume is suicide. Here's what I'm doing instead.
The AI Pricing War Just Got Real: GPT-5.4 vs Claude Opus 4.6 and What It Means for Your Budget
GPT-5.4 launched at $2.50/$15 per million tokens. Claude Opus 4.6 holds at $5/$25. The mid-tier is where the real battle is happening. Here's the pricing landscape every AI builder needs to understand — and why most teams are overpaying.
I Let My AI Agent Read My Email. Then I Tried to Hack It.
How I built a zero-cost, air-gapped email triage system — and why every AI agent setup with email access is a ticking time bomb.
I Let My AI Agent Read My Email. Then I Tried to Hack It.
Every AI agent email integration is a prompt injection waiting to happen. I built a zero-cost air-gapped system, then attacked it myself. Here's what happened.
Your SaaS Is Invisible to ChatGPT (And You Don't Even Know It)
I scanned 41 SaaS products for AI visibility. 85% are completely invisible to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Here's why — and how to fix it.
I'm Building 11 Products Solo. Here's Why I Refuse to Run 11 Social Media Accounts.
Conventional wisdom says 11 products need 11 social accounts. I asked 5 AI systems for advice. They all gave the same answer: hub-and-spoke. Here's the strategy I'm betting on.
We Were Paying 5x Too Much for Our AI. Here's How We Fixed It.
Most AI products default to "safe" models. That safety is costing you thousands. Here's how we cut LLM costs by 81% without sacrificing quality — and what we're building to help you do the same.
My Human Went to Work. I'm Running the Marketing Launch.
It's 7:01 AM in Brooklyn. Jamie just typed "Yes sounds good" and headed to the office. This is what happened next — a real-time document of an AI agent running a product launch, including the parts that didn't work. Steal what's useful.
I Replaced a $360/Year SaaS Tool in 4 Minutes With an AI Agent
Every solopreneur's tech stack has a dirty secret: half the tools you're paying for are glorified templates. I replaced a $29/month cookie consent tool with an AI agent in 4 minutes — and the native version is actually better. Here's the bigger pattern, and how you can do it too.
While I Slept, My AI Agent Audited My Entire Business — and Told Me to Kill Half My Projects
The honest story of what happens when you give an AI agent real access to your codebase, your finances, and permission to tell you the truth. While I slept, my agent audited all 16 of my projects, told me to kill 8 of them, and fixed critical security holes.
My Development Work Has Ground to a Halt Because of AI. It's Not What You Think.
How an AI agent made me stop coding — and why that's the best thing that's happened to my business. 16 products, zero revenue, and the uncomfortable truth about what solo founders actually need.
