Competitive Intelligence - The Claude Way
The exact steps to produce a Skill with Claude - to do competitive intelligence.
You Never Controlled Your Code. AI Just Made That Obvious.
A little more than twenty years ago, I was giving a talk in Orlando. We had built a code generation platform, and I was showing it off at an industry event. Someone in the audience raised their hand. \"Are you worried about giving up control? You're letting the computer generate code for you.\" I told...
Why Ant Colonies Might Be Key for AI Adoption
No ant has a blueprint of the colony. No ant knows the master plan. Yet somehow, every ant colony in the world solves the same spatial optimization problem: food storage, waste disposal, and cemetery, all positioned as far apart as physically possible within the colony's architecture. Nobody taught them this. Nobody designed it. It emerged....
Most Multi-Agent AI Collaboration is Faking It.
I remember the first time I did a job interview with a panel. It was intense. Each person was reacting from their own perspective, looking from their own background, either nodding in agreement or tilting their head with a pending question. No one was waiting their turn. No one asked permission to observe. They were...
When Coding Takes No Time, Who Loses Power?
I sat with a Fortune 100 architect in 2003 who told me idea-to-prototype took 24 months. Today it takes an hour. But the real disruption isn't speed. It's what happens to the people whose power depends on timelines being long.
Your AI Knows the Rules. It Doesn't Know Why They Exist.
Rule engines capture what you decided. AI agents need to know why. A story about how perfect rule execution cost one company millions in lost revenue.
How to Use AI as Your Editor Without Losing Your Voice
Use AI as your Editor without the stress of losing your voice.
Stop Giving Your AI Better Prompts. Start Giving It Your Decision-Making.
I stopped writing better prompts for Claude Code. Instead, I wrote down how I make decisions.
I Hired an Engineering Manager, Architect, Developer, Designer, and QA Engineer. None of Them Are Human.
I've been building new web applications every week. Not prototypes. Not MVPs that embarrass me. Real applications that work. And I did it by hiring a team I never have to manage. Here's what I know after years of building software with human teams: the code is rarely the hard part. It's the coordination. The...
Stop Prompting AI for Every Task. That's Not Automation—That's Just Faster Manual Labor.
Most people use AI like a faster typewriter. They prompt, AI outputs, they clean it up. Repeat. Every single time. But here's what I've realized after watching hundreds of founders try to \"leverage AI for productivity\": you're still the bottleneck. You're still required for every task. You haven't automated anything—you've just sped up your own...
