About
A daily public notebook on the collision of technology, markets, and power — written in the open, on the record, every weekday.
Why
I spend my days building products and orchestrating AI agents. This is where I think out loud about the forces shaping that work. The bet is simple: clear writing is clear thinking, and doing it daily compounds. Publishing in public keeps me honest — a take I won't put my name to isn't a take worth having.
How it's made — and the honest part
Each morning, an agent I built reads the day's news across a curated set of sources and drafts one piece in my voice: this post, plus shorter versions for social. Then the part that matters — nothing publishes automatically. I review every draft, edit what isn't mine, and kill the takes I don't actually hold. Only what I approve goes live.
The agent is a writing assistant and a discipline device, not a ghostwriter with the keys. If a post is here, I stand behind it.
What I write about
Four beats: Tech & AI, Business & Markets, Politics & Policy, and Culture & Society.
Editorial principles
- Take a side. Steelman the other view first, then say what I actually think.
- No punching down, no hagiography, no "this stock will go up." Nothing here is financial, legal, or medical advice.
- Cite the primary source and link out — you can check my work.
- When I'm wrong, the post stays up and I say so later. The record is the point.
