Thoughts on Agile, AI & Leadership

An Agile practitioner's honest reckoning with building AI tools that might make coaching humans unnecessary.

Scrum Masters who build don't need slide decks to prove their value.

When 'You are hallucinating that' became the final straw for commercial AI tools

I started 2026 by picking a fight.

The companies that built AI are literally selling you tools to write less. Here's why.

Stop polishing your PDF resume. Build a personal website with an AI agent that works for you 24/7 - for less than a penny per conversation.

What 4 weeks of writing taught me about building an audience from scratch

I'm not a developer. I built an app today.

Why your "AI productivity" is just new administrative toil—and how to actually fix it.

Why your keyboard is the bottleneck, and what to use instead

When the cost of building drops to near-zero, the calculus of 'Build vs. Buy' shifts dramatically.

In a market flooded with sterile profiles, the only way to stand out is to build something real - and it costs almost $0.

Your team isn't slow - they're distracted. Track focus with simple data, then use it to change the conversation.

Version control isn't just for developers anymore - it's how you stop repeating mistakes and start working smarter.

Turning 'spidey senses' into instruments that make the intangible tangible.

42% of AI initiatives abandoned in 2025. The missing ingredient isn't better algorithms.

The hardest part of running a great meeting isn't logistics - it's keeping your ego in check

Why I stopped being a Master of Scrum and started building tools that eliminate toil

Your 'temporary' solutions probably aren't temporary—and here's how to tell. Experiments are great, but without a clear exit strategy, they quickly become the new (and often broken) status quo.

Your retrospectives aren't broken. Your facilitation skills? Excellent. None of that matters if leadership is questioning whether your role should exist. The fix isn't better meetings—it's mapping your value to data.
