The Calibration Trap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a website sitting unpublished in my browser right now. I know exactly what's wrong with it. Nobody else does, because nobody else has seen it — I haven't sent a single LinkedIn post its way. I used to call that procrastination. It isn't. It's a measurement problem: I hold a high-price, high-trust bar (does it work, flawlessly, every time) and I was applying it to a channel whose only job is earning someone's attention for thirty seconds. Someone in a builder community I follow ran a roug
Narrow the Offer, Not the Person (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A coach once told me to get rid of the general store: stop offering everything, pick consulting or IT, and do only that. I followed the advice. It didn't work, because on almost every project, I still understood the technical side better than the IT consultants in the room, and the skill came back anyway, unannounced and unpaid. This episode is about why "pick one" and "invent your own niche" are usually right about the symptom and wrong about the cure. It covers the invented categories I built
The Recording You'll Never Watch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I keep reading the same comment under almost every online event I'm invited to: any chance this will be recorded? I've watched people ask the same thing live, in the room, three meters from the speaker, with a chance to ask a real question in five minutes. This episode is about the difference between a session where the recording actually gives you everything, and one built entirely around a live discussion you weren't part of, where asking for the recording gets you other people's questions ins
The Agreeable Machine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A website owner deliberately turned off his own backups, months before he needed them. When his data disappeared, he told anyone who'd listen that a serious provider should have protected him anyway. The hosting company pulled the logs. He'd flipped the switch himself. He didn't back down. That story isn't about backups. It's about what happens when a convenient answer replaces a question you were supposed to ask yourself first, and why the fluent, agreeable, endlessly-confident nature of AI mak
Common Sense Comes Last (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The EU just declared ChatGPT a search engine, and a German court ruled the same month that an IP address doesn't identify the person behind the screen. Two data points, one pattern: Brussels writes the maximalist rule first, discovers the cost later, and reverses course only once the companies that complied in good faith already paid for it. I share what that actually cost me, and why common sense keeps arriving years too late.
