About

I am a builder, advisor, trainer and mentor. I have been coding for 20 years - starting with Flash games and learning new languages all the time - AI is a fundamental change point, but it isn't the first and it won't be the last. I build things to help solve problems, and then make sure they can get implemented rather than gathering digital dust through lack of use.

Introducing Randomized Leaderboard Day on Product Hunt!

If you re launching today, the leaderboard is about to get a lot more interesting.

We are running a Randomized Day to give products launching more of an opportunity to get seen!

The Mechanics

To level the playing field, we are cycling the homepage layout throughout the day:
The Loop: This cycle repeats every 30 minutes, all day long.

Hiring is Broken. Want to help fix it?

Hi,

Even if we disagree on the cause of it, I think most people would agree that Hiring is Broken right now - I would use a more powerful and scottish adjective here to reflect my true feelings!

We let Claude write 100% of our code for 7 days. Here's what broke first.

Last week we did something stupid.

We paused all human coding. Gave Claude (Anthropic) access to our GitHub repo. Told it to build new features, fix bugs, and ship.

No human review. No guardrails. Just Claude and our codebase.

For 7 days, it ran the engineering team.
