Stop Asking AI to Solve Your Whole Problem
AI gets way smarter when you stop asking it to solve your big problem and instead break that problem into a sequence of tiny, well-defined jobs it can actually nail.
Leaders Need Empathy Too: Meet Your AI Coach
CEOs and leaders often have no safe space to process feelings. So I built EmpathyBot—a free AI coach that listens without judgment and helps you hear your own wisdom.
Let AI Write Your Content Calendar Automatically
Built a stack of AIs that studies your offer, writes on-brand posts, and schedules content so you stop staring at blank calendars and get back to work.
Practice Hard Conversations Without the Risk or Judgment
Leaders face big decisions with zero safe space to admit fear. EmpathyBot.net offers free, private AI coaching to practice empathy, rehearse hard talks, and clarify next steps—no ads, no performance required.
Creative Robot Writes Your Posts While You Work
You’ve got ideas—you’re just out of time. Creative Robot learns your voice, writes your posts, and publishes while you do the work that actually pays you.
Manage AI Agents Like Your Junior Developer Team
Treat AI agents like junior devs on your team—not magic buttons or threats. Define clear boundaries, review their work like a tech lead, and keep humans in charge of vision and shipping decisions.
AI Killed Syntax, Made Design Thinking Mandatory
AI made syntax optional but design thinking mandatory. Non-developers can now ship working software—just not necessarily good software. The new skill isn’t coding faster, it’s thinking clearer.
AI Exposed the Real Value of Software Experience
AI didn’t replace software experience—it exposed what mattered all along. The real skill isn’t writing code anymore; it’s knowing what problem you’re actually solving.
Can AI Really Feel Your Feelings Better?
AI can detect emotions and outperform humans on EQ tests, but it’s pattern recognition, not actual feeling. The key: get precise about what emotional support you want.
AI Delegation Is Slower Until It Actually Works
The uncomfortable truth about AI delegation – it’s slower at first, and treating it like a slightly overconfident junior dev is the only way it actually works.
Why AI Won’t Replace Developers (It’s Complicated)
Think AI will replace devs? Nah. The real question is how to build teams where humans and AI make each other better at the hard stuff that actually matters.
Stop Fighting About LLMs and Start Matching Models
Months of testing proves the “best” LLM doesn’t exist. Real skill is matching the right model to the task – and most people waste time arguing instead of learning.
Your Prompt Engineering Skills Matter More Than Your LLM
Testing different LLMs for coding taught me this: the model matters less than knowing how to break down problems and write specific prompts. Claude explains, GPT-5 generates, Copilot flows.
AI Code Fails in Production: Trust But Verify
I trusted AI code too easily until production failures taught me otherwise. Here’s how to catch the confident mistakes before they bite you.
AI Agents Work Best When Treated Like Humans
AI agent teams work better when you treat them like emotionally intelligent humans – understanding each agent’s strengths, managing their cognitive load, and letting them collaborate naturally.
Managing AI Agents Is Just Managing People
Managing people and orchestrating AI agents use the same core skills – just applied to code instead of conversations. Recognition becomes observation, pattern analysis becomes prediction, and conflict resolution becomes debugging.
Why AI Coding Assistants Need More Constraints
You’re using AI coding assistants wrong – they don’t need more freedom, they need better rails. 30 years of coding plus 8 years of AI work taught me why constraints beat creativity.
AI Coding Needs Rails Not Autonomy
AI coding isn’t about autonomy – it’s about constraints. After 30+ years coding, I’ve learned the real breakthrough is “agents on rails” with precise specs.
Your AI Instructions Are Sabotaging Your Code
After 30+ years coding, I’ve watched teams waste hours on AI that generates creative but wrong solutions. The AI isn’t broken – your instructions are missing.
Your Weirdness Is Your Competitive Advantage Actually
A book that reframes failure as growth invitations you can’t decline and argues your weirdness is actually your biggest asset – not the fluffy self-help you’d expect.
AI’s Pattern Matching Trap Blocks Real Intelligence
We’re training autocomplete engines and calling it intelligence. The next breakthrough probably won’t come from bigger LLMs – it’ll abandon pattern matching entirely.
AI Agents Will Replace LLMs Within Years
After 30+ years coding and 8 years in AI, here’s my bet on what comes after LLMs: agents that don’t just respond but actually *do* things autonomously.
Why AI Projects Fail: Wrong Problem Size
Spent 30+ years coding, 8 with AI. The secret isn’t the tech – it’s breaking problems into chunks AI can actually handle. Most people fail because they dump entire projects on it.
AI Flipped Programming From Following Orders To Partnership
After 30 years of coding, I watched workflows evolve from rigid sequential tasks to adaptive AI systems that think, learn, and self-organize – flipping the human role entirely.
I Tested Every Coding Assistant For 300 Years
I tested every coding assistant for 30 years. Most are just fancy autocomplete. Roo Code is the first that actually gets it – runs locally, open-source, and keeps you in flow.
AI Finally Cracks Developer Collaboration After 30 Years
After 30 years of coding, I found the first assistant that actually collaborates instead of just guessing. Roo Code runs specialized agents that handle different dev tasks.
After 30 Years I Found My AI Teammate
After 30 years of coding, I found the first AI assistant that actually feels like a teammate. Roo Code thinks in specs first, uses different models for different tasks, runs locally for privacy, and works autonomously like a junior dev who never gets tired.
AI Finally Replaced My 30-Year Coding Workflow
After 30 years coding, I found an AI that actually understands my entire project, handles spec-to-deployment, runs locally, and acts like a real partner instead of fancy autocomplete.
AI Replaces Processes, Cuts Costs 30 Percent
30 years of coding taught me AI doesn’t speed up old processes—it replaces them. Companies see 30% lower costs and 90% fewer errors with agent workflows.
After Testing Every AI Coder Roo Won
After 30 years building software and testing every AI coding assistant, I found one that actually works: Roo Code. It thinks in modes, runs locally, understands full codebases.
