I spotted a LinkedIn post the other day—obviously AI-generated—with dozens of enthusiastic comments underneath. Every single one also written by AI. Bots responding to bots, a whole conversation with zero humans involved. It was both hilarious and deeply sad. This got me thinking about the dead internet theory and our role as founders in either con…

Most technical founders I know understand marketing matters—they just hate doing it. They'd rather spend their time building features than fumbling through outreach and content strategies. I get it. I've been there for years. So today I'm sharing what's actually worked for me: letting machines do the heavy lifting. From programmatic SEO that turned…

The "vibe coding will kill SaaS" narrative is everywhere right now, and I think it's completely wrong. Yes, anyone can spin up a Lovable or Bolt.new project in an afternoon. But there's a fundamental confusion happening: people are mistaking software products for software businesses. SaaS was never really about the software — it was always about th…

Today, I'm expl…

AI systems change constantly. Models get deprecated, APIs shift, and what works today might fail tomorrow. Instead of trying to keep up with everything, I've built my systems for permanent adaptability. That means migration patterns that let me run old and new prompts side by side, using OpenAI's hidden Flex tier to cut costs by 50%, front-loading …

It took me a long while to realize this: AI isn't just something like a chatbot for my customers.

And today, I want to share exactly what I'm doing, how expensive this is to r…
