Writing

About how AI is making basic code generation less valuable, why web development is no longer such an easy way into IT as it used to be, and why hardware now looks like a much more interesting niche. Plus a bit about how I use LLMs to design PCBs, what they can actually automate, and what you still have to test, solder, debug, and finish with your own hands.

The economics of translating books with LLMs, translation rights, author payouts, and whether it’s possible to build a streaming service for books with automatic translation into multiple languages.

I ran Codex, Claude, and Gemini through some cybersecurity tasks to see where they start refusing. A bit of RouterSploit, a few absurd refusals, and an attempt to squeeze as much as possible out of the models :)

No one would hire me, so I just started building my own projects. About my first failed startups, SolderDemon, Ramle, and where all of this eventually led me.

The story of how we built Ramle, an app for finding friends. How we got our first real traffic, tried to figure out monetization, product metrics and mobile, and eventually shut the project down. Plus a bit about vibe coding, the cold start problem, and things we probably should have thought about before we even started building it.
