Why this show exists

There is no shortage of AI commentary. There is a shortage of people saying what happened when they actually used the thing, on real work, with real constraints — a security review, a procurement cycle, colleagues who did not ask for a new workflow.

So this is the honest version. Every week I take something I genuinely had to do at work, do it with the AI tools available to me, and report what held up.

What gets covered

• One build. Something actually attempted, with the failures left in.
• One decision. The point where a person had to stay in the loop, and why.
• The news. Ten minutes on what shipped, and what it means for people who buy software rather than write about it.

What does not get covered

No predictions. No takes on whether this is a bubble. No guest chasing, no sponsor reads dressed as insight.

The blog is for the things that do not fill an episode: a single prompt worth keeping, a workflow that quietly stopped working, a number that surprised me.
