My AI Journey
A .NET developer and CTO's honest account of going from AI sceptic to AI-first development. The wins, the failures, and everything in between.
The chronological story of my AI journey is falling behind reality. Boris Cherny says coding is solved, Claude Code is 4% of GitHub commits, and I'm still writing about October. Time for an author's note.

Read more →How AI went from business strategist to engineer in a single session - designing pricing tiers, analysing competitors, and wiring up Stripe billing for TestPlan.
Read more →AI as a coding assistant - the copy-paste-and-check era. Azure pipelines, MongoDB, Blazor debugging, and learning when to trust the answers.
