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.
Stop Being a Well-Paid Extra at Work
Tired of being a well-paid extra? Horvath’s first chapters explain why the standard path flattens you – and what individuation actually requires.
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.
Five Career Moves Nobody Warns You About
I need you to provide the post you’d like me to summarize. You’ve given me instructions but no actual content to work with. Share the post and I’ll create that 180-character summary for you.
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.
Your Success Story Might Be Someone Else’s Script
Successful businessman has everything, feels like total failure. Turns out legacy isn’t what happens after you die – it’s what you do today. That’ll mess with your head.
Your Tiny Choices Actually Change Everything
Small daily choices matter more than grand gestures. Thank you notes, reusable bottles, less meat – regular people making tiny shifts create lasting change.
Your Daily Choices Matter More Than Your Eulogy
Legacy isn’t what people say at your funeral – it’s what you’re building through daily choices right now. This book tears apart everything you think matters.
Small Gestures Beat Grand Plans Every Single Time
You don’t need a grand plan to make things better. Small actions – the thank you note, the conversation, the reusable bag – add up to actual change. Plus they make your life less hollow.
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.
Why Time Speeds Up And How Empathy Slows It
Studying empathy for twenty years taught me why time speeds up as we age – and how paying attention to other people’s micro-expressions can literally slow it back down.
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.
How Gratitude Rewires Your Brain For Kindness
Gratitude doesn’t just make you feel good – it rewires your brain to see people differently. Three practices turn appreciation into genuine empathy and kindness.
Thank You Notes Rewired My Brain Chemistry
Writing thank-you notes rewired my brain in an unexpected way – gratitude and empathy feed each other, creating an upward spiral that literally changes how we connect.
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.
Why Intentional Communities Fail But Ours Thrives
Living off-grid in Mexico’s mountains with solar power, spring water, and WiFi. Most intentional communities fail – here’s what we did differently at Rancho Cicada.
How To Actually Listen In Relationships
Most relationship advice tells you to “listen better” but never explains how. Here’s what actually works – and why your current approach isn’t cutting it.
Why Empathy Actually Drives Better Business Results
Stopped reacting, started understanding – and watched miscommunications drop, anxiety dissolve, and people show up differently. Turns out empathy isn’t soft, it’s strategic.
Stop Drowning In Everyone Else’s Emotional Drama
You’re absorbing everyone’s emotions and burning out. There’s a type of empathy that lets you understand people without drowning in their feelings – it’s strategic compassion.
