How I think
There's always someone at the controls
What I learned as Product Owner of a sovereign AI platform about language models, GPUs and anthropomorphism. Why a model always sounds sure of itself, even when it's wrong, and what sovereignty means in practice.
From water pipes to value propositions
Months of DIY instead of meetings. On loft beds, water pipes and a slow start that looks like nothing at all, and why renovating a house looks suspiciously like building a product.
I guarantee you a remarkable experience: Angine de Poitrine
A microtonal math rock duo from Quebec proves that true originality doesn't come from an algorithm. On polka-dot suits, an invented alien language and craftsmanship, and why AI could never have come up with this.
Also built: Blueprint, a tool that turns a few answers into a ready-to-paste Claude Code prompt.
