Working notes.
Engineering, product, and the occasional detour into running.
The internet made information abundant. I'm not sure it ever made coordination any cheaper, until maybe now.
The hard part was never storing more. It's deciding, note by note, what's actually worth keeping.
If notes are evidence and profiles are compiled from them, curation stops being a chore and starts being a build step.
Two knowledge bases and one stalled migration later, the tool was never the problem. Structure and capture were.
3 years of working with AI on code. The thing that changed most wasn't the models.
React Native isn't just React on a phone. But it's closer than I expected, and stranger than I expected, often at the same time.
I had the idea for years. One vibe coding session proved the approach could work. A weekend later, the spreadsheet workflow was replaced.
4 hours from blank repository to deployed app, and the process that actually got it there.
Vibe coding changed the economics of starting a project. I want to build the habit around it.
AI didn't make software engineering faster so much as it moved the bottleneck somewhere else entirely.
