About

Started in visual effects as an artist and creative director. Along the way, I began writing software to solve problems I kept running into — managing creative teams, maintaining render farms, and building production tools. That path led me here.

We let Claude write 100% of our code for 7 days. Here's what broke first.

Last week we did something stupid.

We paused all human coding. Gave Claude (Anthropic) access to our GitHub repo. Told it to build new features, fix bugs, and ship.

No human review. No guardrails. Just Claude and our codebase.

For 7 days, it ran the engineering team.

That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.

In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.

For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:
