Vibes

Thought experiments with AI.

  1. The Indie Hacker Product Is Dead?

    The case that coding agents are squeezing indie software shut — the labs above, the prompt-it-yourself customer below — and the case against: building was never the moat, distribution was.

  2. The Hidden Game: Football Strategy

    Football's strategy layer, for people who already know the rules — the invisible training week, a morphing-formation pitch, pressing-trap anatomy, set-piece design, and a dugout simulator for the in-game chess.

  3. The AI-First Tech Consultancy

    The essay as an engineering blueprint: a filterable catalogue of 37 delivery agents, a clickable architecture cross-section, and a time-and-materials compression stress test.

  4. How to Read Dostoevsky

    A field guide for the English reader — where to start, which translation, how to survive the names, and a pacing calculator that cuts the big novels into weekly chunks.

  5. Five Philosophers

    A reading room on Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, and Nietzsche — their ideas, coined terms, and books, with a searchable lexicon.

  6. The Cloud Rosetta Stone

    Translate managed-service names between AWS, Azure, and GCP, man-page style. You say Lambda, they say Functions.
