I recorded a real time, unedited 30 minute run of the AI workflow I use every day. It shows the architecture agent planning the change, the SWE agent doing small TDD cycles, the lead SWE agent running review gates, and how the loop deals wi

I wrote this because it feels like we’ve built an economy where recurring obligations replaced ownership, and our kids are the first generation who won’t remember anything else. I’m trying to understand whether this is sustainable or if we’

LinkedIn recently moved job IDs out of readable DOM attributes into protobuf-encoded SDUI. Most people read this as a technical migration. It isn't. Talent Solutions generates over $7B of LinkedIn's $16B in annual revenue. The job

The past is exactly the point. Most of these shifts repeat older economic transitions. When the cost of producing or distributing something collapses, the pricing model that depended on scarcity eventually breaks. AI is pushing software int

Subscriptions Will Survive in Only Two Places(productics.substack.com)

This essay argues that most subscription models are starting to break for structural reasons, not because of "fatigue". Three forces are converging: income pressure, context exhaustion, and AI-driven repricing of entire software c

I wrote a piece about why so many AI agents drift, skip steps, or fall apart in production even when they look solid in demos. The argument isn’t about model quality. It’s about the abstraction layer we’re using. LLMs don’t execute instruct

I wrote a short conceptual manifesto about physics. It does not replace any equations. It looks at the way we picture the universe and tries to offer a clearer and more unified way to think about it. The idea is that every stable structure

AI can write code, but it cannot keep a real system coherent. It forgets decisions, breaks rules, and recreates logic that already exists. Bigger models and longer context windows do not fix this. I saw this while orchestrating a 350k line

Spent the last year building a full production system solo. Not a side project. Hundreds of thousands of lines, dozens of services, CI/CD, Terraform, multi-locale UI, thousands of tests. Real constraints, real consequences. At small sc

People keep treating OpenAI’s $100B raise as a company story. It is not. It only makes sense when you look at the whole stack. Hyperscalers spent $251 billion on capex in 2024 and are projecting far more. Nvidia’s supply chain is booked 12

Thanks for reading it. The arcade metaphor is not about business models but about the pattern of optimizing for spectacle over durability. The point is that many AI products behave like arcade machines in the sense that they are impressive

I have been noticing a pattern in a lot of AI products. The demos look great, but the moment you try to use them inside a real workflow they fall apart. It feels like we built an arcade of impressive tricks instead of tools that can survive

That’s exactly the tension I’m pointing at. If Europe wants real tech independence, it needs to fix the internal incentive structures that make shipping slow and risky. Curious whether people see signs of that changing anywhere.

I get what you mean about long‑term ownership. My point in the article is a bit narrower. In many EU companies people don’t even get ownership inside the work itself. Decisions are spread so thin that nobody can push, take responsibility, o

Not trying to bash Europe. I’m trying to understand whether these incentive failures are universal or more common here. I’d love to hear from people who’ve worked on both sides.

European companies don't have an innovation problem, they have an incentive prob(productics.substack.com)

I wrote this after years of working inside large European companies. What looks like an "innovation problem" is usually an incentive problem. People aren’t rewarded for taking risks, owning outcomes, or pushing things forward, so

Style aside, the interesting bit for me was the claim that AI adoption is stuck because nobody has shipped the platform layer yet. Curious what others think about that part.

Read an interesting piece arguing that AI adoption isn’t slow because of the models, but because nobody has shipped the platform layer yet. No OAuth, no events, no sandbox, no real “App Store moment.” Feels like the pre‑platform era of mobi

I wrote a short piece about something I keep seeing in AI‑assisted engineering: we’re moving faster than ever, but a lot of that speed is built on foundations that quietly rot underneath us. The article isn’t anti‑AI — I use these tools eve

I keep running into the same thing with AI tools: they’re powerful, but everything around them feels rationed. Token buckets, session limits, weird pricing. It’s like using a prepaid SIM card. I dug into the economics behind it and ended up

I’m not trying to present myself as a guru or a celebrity engineer. My background is in product and technical leadership, not in being the “hero coder.” I didn’t build an AI system — I built a real production platform where AI was one of th

I’m not offended — just to clarify the context. I’m not a native English speaker, so I sometimes use AI to help with phrasing or structure. The ideas, experience, and arguments are mine; AI just helps me express them more clearly for an Eng

I spent a year building a 300k‑line production platform alone using AI‑assisted engineering. It worked — but only when AI was cheap and predictable. As model behavior shifted and costs rose, the entire system began to break in ways most tea
