AI

Notes on artificial intelligence, development, design and the way I use AI in my work.

  • AI and the cost of interrupted focus

    The cycle of prompting, waiting and checking could change how we concentrate, learn and experience work. What research tells us, what remains uncertain and how we might protect our attention.

  • How AI is changing my work as a developer

    What using AI for Laravel projects and rebuilding my website has taught me about judgement, learning, design and the skills I want to develop next.

  • Why I came back to design

    Why I stepped back from design in 2020, returned in 2025, and how branding, application UX and critical thinking now shape my development work.

  • Can an AI agent actually use your website?

    What Lighthouse’s agentic browsing checks and WebMCP mean for the way I think about interfaces, forms and building websites people can trust.

  • Launching Pathfinder Analytics

    Launching my own planning, time tracking and budgeting application, and bringing a whole team onto one system with room to do their best work.

  • How I use Laravel, React and Herd

    Notes from building a Pokémon app and task managers: forms, migrations, Inertia and keeping the data moving clearly.

  • Thinking about AI and the work I want to do

    Some thoughts from July 2025 on useful tools, uncertainty at work and the responsibilities that remain ours.
