Builder.ai did not “fake AI with 700 engineers”
The claim that the AI startup “faked AI” with hundreds of engineers went viral – and I also fell for it, initially. The reality is much more sobering: Builder.ai built a code generator on top of Claude and other LLMs; it did not build a so-called “Mechanical Turk.”

Running an AI-native engineering org | Claude
How the Claude Code engineering team’s processes and structure changed once agentic coding became the default way of working.

I am often wrong
[I shared this note with my team earlier this week, and am posting it here as well. I hope it is interesting or helpful for others working on building product in the age of AI.]
How much of a UX designer’s job can AI really do? Here’s my day…
AI research speeds up. Monitoring gets harder. - Sensemaker
OpenAI says coding agents now run 3.1 days for every human research day, while its chief scientist warns the lab’s main monitoring method is weakening.
Making 3 AI's Count to 100 Together
What we built at the MIRA Kickoff
Four days in Ireland. Three user stories. Six working prototypes, a tested schema, and the demos to show for it.

On Taste, Effort & Curiosity - again
When AI collapses how long it takes to ship, what’s left is judgment, experimentation, and knowing what not to build.
What AI coding costs you | Tom Wojcik
What's the effect of the prolonged AI usage among coders and is it tracked correctly, if it all?
The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription
I find this post by David Wilson very relatable. David lists 16+ projects he's spun up with AI tooling, and concludes: I didn't mean to build most of these things. …

I used AI. It worked. I hated it.
I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

Claude Design is a "clock time" solution for a "calendar time" problem
Orgs are betting that they can substitute sense-making with faster artifact delivery. Users are paying the price.

I let Claude generate our entire design system. Then I looked at the cost.
