How AI changed the rules of software. LLM tiers, local vs cloud, the honest assessment of what AI can and cannot do, and the career data you need to position correctly.

The Builder Mindset

From consumer to maker. The four-question framework for choosing what to build, the 90-day shipping discipline, and why specific audiences beat generic markets every time.

Running powerful models on your own machine. Ollama setup, model selection guide, RAG architecture, and when NOT to use local AI — with real code examples.

Vibe Coding

From idea to app without a traditional team. A complete Lovable workflow, the security warning nobody puts in the marketing, and what vibe coding can and cannot build.
