something changes.
An email when I publish new writing or the setup on /how-i-build changes. Sent by me, not a platform, a few times a month at most.
Recent updates
- Every skill I wrote, in one map
Execution is mostly covered now; the ideas are what matter. So How I build now maps all 157 skills, 48 commands and 21 hooks I have written, by area and group, as a 3D brain or a tree. Open any skill to see what it does and copy it as a prompt to build your own. There are also new field notes: the smaller uses I posted on X.
- Start here: Claude Code for beginners
Everything I tell people who ask how to get started with Claude Code, in one place: what you need, a twenty-minute install, how to talk to it, a first project and the habits for your first month. If someone keeps asking you, send them this.
- How I build: Orca, cloud burst, my own mail client
I moved from cmux to Orca and opened about 110 task worktrees in five days, and when my three machines are full the fleet now rents a cloud machine for the job. The October timeline and the compute wall have the new numbers, and the ideal setup now leads with the 3D plan. I also started building my own mail client in Swift, shaped around how I handle email.
- The Takeoff has its own site
The Takeoff, my documentary series following the AI takeoff one year at a time from 2026 to 2046, now lives at thetakeoffseries.com, with every episode, a companion guide for each, and a new year every Tuesday.
- How I build: a year of building with AI agents
A measured account of a year building SKU.io with Claude Code: the eight bottlenecks along the way, the setup that removed each one, and the numbers behind it, all taken from my own session logs.
- mizzi.com, rebuilt
The 2003 site is retired after 23 years. The new one covers what I work on now, and the original is still up at /2003.
