Unprompted

Dispatches from building with AI. Present-tense, uncertain, grounded in what's actually happening. No predictions, no hype, no armchair commentary.

What This Is

Field notes from someone building real products with AI every day. I'm writing from inside the experience, not above it. Each dispatch captures what I'm seeing, what I'm questioning, and what I haven't figured out yet.

Where It Lives

Long-form on X, archived here. This series is the raw material for my next book, Vibin, about the democratization of building through AI. The core thesis: now anyone can build.

Building in Public

I shipped three features this week using AI tools that didn't exist six months ago. A year ago I would have needed a team of three and six weeks. Here's what that compression actually feels like when you're inside it.

What happens to teams when one person can do the work of five?

The Taste Gap

AI can build anything now. It can write the code, design the interface, draft the copy. The bottleneck has moved. The new differentiator is knowing what's worth building in the first place.

If everyone can build, what separates the signal from the noise?

Now Anyone Can Build

The most important sentence in technology right now is five words long. I watched someone with no engineering background ship a product this week. That's not a novelty anymore. It's a structural change.

What does it mean for the people who used to be the only ones who could build?

The Anxiety Layer

I talked to twelve founders this month. Every single one expressed the same feeling: excitement laced with dread. They can see the potential. They can also see themselves being replaced by it.

How do you build with something you're not sure you can trust?

The Vibe Shift

Something changed in the last six months. The energy around AI shifted from spectacle to utility. People stopped asking "isn't this amazing?" and started asking "can this help me do my job?"

Is this the moment AI becomes boring? And is boring what we actually need?

Why Unprompted

Most AI writing is prediction or punditry. This series is neither. I'm building things with AI every day, and the gap between the discourse and the reality is so wide that I decided to write from inside the gap.

What does it look like to write about technology while you're building with it?
