latest notes

My first mobile game: Strait Escape

A naval adventure puzzle game inspired by GeoMinesweeper. Here's the story of how it came to be.

A community growth hack: AI + social listening for GeoMinesweeper

A small case study — using AI and social listening to pull real traffic and users into GeoMinesweeper. Value first, promotion second.

Using Claude as a second brain while coding

Not just autocomplete. The way I use AI has changed how I think through problems.

From CTO to solo builder: what I lost and what I gained

The team, the budget, the leverage - all gone. But something else came back.

My current stack for shipping fast

Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, and a few sharp tools. That's really all I need.

notes to self

Focus on useful things.
Ship small, learn fast.
Don't optimize prematurely.
Keep health, keep families.
Building is a marathon.
Make impact, not just money.
