getting by on ai

i'm not a career software engineer. i use ai tools to ship actual product work — platforms, experiments, half-built systems — and i write down what worked, what didn't, and what i'd skip next time. plain notes from someone figuring it out in real time. no breathless takes, no "10x your life." if that's your speed, you're in the right place.

want the résumé-shaped version of why these notes are worth reading? read about.

or read the latest issue first.
