About

In Human Design, I’m a “Markets” person, so basically I love being around people. This isn't quite the same, but it's a nice vibe and many of you on here are very inspiring. Professional background: After years of leading operations at an ecommerce business I co-founded, I recently stepped back from the day-to-day to slow things down a bit, learn more about myself, and work on new directions. I believe deeply in untapped human potential - understanding what enables us to liberate it, and to unwind anything we do that stands in its way. So I tend to gravitate towards those areas and I’m currently exploring new ventures across wellbeing, including food systems and tools around emotional health. Will share more soon enough.

Agents hand you five working versions. How do you pick the one that ships?

Any coding agent gives you a working version of a feature in minutes. Ask again and you get another one, also working, slightly different. Working stopped being the filter.

My rule is simple: I ship the version with the fewest moving parts, because I'm the one debugging it at 2am. Speed of writing means nothing against speed of fixing.

What's your filter? Curious if anyone has a better rule than simplest one wins

How the world will transition to AI-run companies

Six years ago I got into Y Combinator and built the first version of @Basedash: AI data analyst. It was a simple tool that let you edit data in your database.
Now, six years later, we have a whole new product, and again we're shipping... database editing. But this time it's a look into the future of how companies are going to be run.
At the surface, this feature is kinda neat but nothing new. You can ask the Basedash AI to edit things in your database or call MCP servers to take action in other tools.
But, being a BI product, Basedash has a super deep understanding of your business. Probably better than you do yourself.
Soon, Basedash will proactively start suggesting ways to make your business better.
"If you extend this user's trial, they'll have a 50% higher chance of converting"
"If you tweak your ad sequence with this copy, it'll increase conversion rate by 20%"
One click to approve and run the experiment.
This is how we transition to AI-run companies.

Do programmers even feel like programmers anymore?

Saw a post from an 8-year dev this week. He said any junior with an agent now matches his output, and he feels no pride left in it. It got huge, because a lot of people quietly feel the same.

I read it from the other side. I'm a designer, not an engineer. For years "can you build this" meant "find someone technical and pray they stay interested." Usually they didn't. AI took the thing that hurt that dev and handed it to me.

Same shift. Loss from one seat, freedom from another.

I'm shipping a Mac app solo right now, as someone who can't write a backend from scratch. Two years ago that was a joke.
