  • Podium to Prompts

    Storytelling isn’t just for humans anymore—it’s how we influence machines, too. In a conversation with Neha Negandhi, we explored how the same principles that captivate audiences on stage can make prompts more powerful and aligned when interacting with AI. Those who master storytelling—whether to people or algorithms—will hold the ultimate leverage in this new era of communication.
  • Pair Programming is better than Vibe Coding

    Vibe coding may feel trendy, but for serious programmers, it’s a risky shortcut. Instead, pairing with AI as a coding partner allows you to stay in control—using AI to assist, not replace, your thinking. Treat AI like a teammate in your Scrum team: ask specific questions, review outputs, and always own the final outcome.
  • Founders and Subconscious Branding

    Our product choices aren’t purely logical—they’re shaped by subconscious signals like founder visibility, storytelling, and personal moments that build trust. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grok became my defaults not just for their features, but because their founders live rent-free in my head through podcasts, interviews, and media presence. In the AI era, founder-led storytelling isn’t vanity—it’s the new moat.
  • Vibe Debugging

    In the world of programming, much of the real work isn’t about writing code—it’s about debugging invisible, maddening issues that don’t show up in tutorials. While building an AI chatbot, I hit a CORS error that only appeared on my machine, leading to hours of vibe debugging until ChatGPT pointed me to an unexpected culprit: AirPlay was using port 5000. This experience reminded me that the hardest bugs often live not in the code itself, but in the environment, and the real skill is staying calm and curious in the messy middle.
  • AI Conversations - Conference Rooms to Kitchen Tables

    AI is no longer just a conference room conference call — it’s becoming deeply personal. Last night Pooja Rastogi a Sr. Project Manager came over, not to chat casually, but to explore how she could bring AI into her workplace. Over tea, we went from tool choices to transformation arcs, showing that the most powerful AI adoption while may get started in a corporate setting is often amplified through trusted, everyday conversations
  • Cognitive Leverage and Judgement

    As capital and knowledge become widely accessible, the advantage no longer lies in having them—but in how you use them. Just as capital leverage moved from access to allocation, cognitive leverage is shifting from scarcity to judgment. In a world of abundant tools, the true edge is clarity, synthesis, and decisive action.
  • Pricing Outcomes - AI Projects and Products

    AI Musings - Pricing Dilemma. AI has made it cheaper than ever to build, but expensive to run — exposing a gap between how value is delivered and how it’s priced. While outcome-based pricing is becoming the ideal, most still default to time or feature-based models because true impact is hard to quantify. The real challenge is figuring out how to price cognitive leverage — not just effort. This post explores that tension and invites others to share how they’re navigating pricing in an AI-driven world.
  • AI Agents are not teammates

    AI Musings - AI Agents are not teammates. AI agents are powerful tools — but they’re not teammates. You can build efficiently with them, but real growth, momentum, and accountability still come from working with people. In an AI-first world, the stack may scale your output, but it’s the human connection that sustains your journey.
  • Build in Public - Writing

    This post shares my journey from casually posting on LinkedIn to building a structured content workflow under the Build In Public moniker. It highlights how I use simple tools—like Markdown, GitHub Pages, and spreadsheets—alongside AI to refine ideas, maintain consistency, and publish across platforms. The goal: write in public, stay in control, and let the system power creativity.
  • Three Men and AI

    Building a B2C app isn’t just about vibe coding your way to a product—it takes clarity, structure, and the right leverage. With just three core builders, we’ve used AI as a co-pilot across roles—from product vision to backend architecture—turning vague ideas into executable momentum. It’s not about replacing thinking, but expanding capability through AI-augmented strategy and agent-powered execution.
  • Writing Process

    A personal look at how I’ve built a repeatable system for writing — from idea intake to publishing. While the intent and voice remain human, tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity now automate parts of research and augment synthesis, accelerating both clarity and output.
  • Flywheel Motion

    A well-designed flywheel doesn’t just spin faster — it becomes inevitable. And behind the scenes, AI is amplifying every turn — helping us capture insights faster, spot patterns earlier, and move from idea to action.
  • New meaning of Who not How

    We used to ask: “Who can help me get this done?” Now, in the Intelligent Age, the better question is: Which Agent can do this for me?”. This shift isn’t subtle — it’s a complete rethinking of leverage.
  • AI Tech Ecosystem

    Agentic AI is shifting from modular tools to full ecosystems like Google’s Agentspace, pushing developers to choose platforms, not just models. The big question now is when — and how — to go all-in on an ecosystem.
  • Outcomes and experiences over engineering

    We need to focus on AI’s impact and user experience, not its mechanics, emphasizing seamless integration and empowering outcomes over technical details.
  • Why do I need AI Agents if I have ChatGPT?

    AI agents complement ChatGPT by enabling contextual memory, workflows, collaboration, observability, and autonomy, making them essential for business operations beyond simple assistance.
  • Vibe Design

    When building product ideas, I move from sketches and mind maps to “vibe writing” specs with ChatGPT and then “vibe coding” with Claude and Cursor, but I’ve realized I’m missing a “vibe design” step in between. I’m looking for a tool that feels like a Copilot for UX/UI — something that helps me quickly sketch and refine prototypes without jumping straight into code.
  • Content Creators vs Content Consumers

    We examine the gap between creators and consumers, highlighting AI’s role in empowering developers and non-developers while questioning universal coding adoption.
