I turn ideas into finished creative with AI. Building the workflow from idea to execution. Sharing what works, fails, and costs.

I was lucky to be young when the web arrived.
I started as an animator, obsessing over keyframes, motion and pixels. Then Macromedia Flash, later Adobe Flash, showed me that animation could be controlled by code, so I became a craftsman of code too.
For years, my advantage was being good at both. I could make things look good and make them work. That skill got me jobs, freelance work, helped me build a company and eventually work with some of the biggest brands in the world.
Now I’m watching both crafts disappear into something new.
I don’t think most people will look at lines of code much longer. You’ll tell an AI what you want, see what it makes, and keep directing it until it works exactly how you imagined.
I think the same thing is coming for video.
We romanticize timelines, keyframes, layers, mice and keyboards because those are the tools we spent decades mastering.
But the timeline was never the goal.
The code was never the goal.
The goal was making something exist that didn’t exist before.
When I first learned animation, I wanted to create my own characters and universes. I assumed I’d have to spend my career working my way through the industry and maybe, one day, earn the opportunity to make them.
That isn’t true anymore.
If you can imagine something, you can increasingly just describe it, see it, react to it, and keep directing until it becomes what you had in your head.
I understand why that scares people. I spent decades learning skills that AI is rapidly making less necessary.
But I think there’s another way to look at it.
Think about everything you’ve wanted to create in your life but didn’t have the money, skills, team or time to make.
How much of it can exist now?
That might be the greatest creative opportunity in history.
Enjoy the ride.
Exactly, the more I work on building on top of it, the more I agree.

Building something people are willing to pay for is one of the most useful skills a founder can ever develop.

Someone asked what was the best way to get hired by a startup. I told him it was to start one and then hire himself.
Capitalism needs to solve problems that lack financial value. For instance, AI is about to face a major problem with consciousness, but there's no financial gain for any startup figuring out what it is, so it won't get solved.
The truth is AI writes code so fast only AI can check it.

TL;DR of my new article: Reverse Engineer Anything went from 40 to 229k GitHub stars in 12 days. I ran /last30days 13 times and cut 100+ posts down to the 8 things people actually took apart:
🖥️ A bug in hardware you own: a researcher found a hole in their own Dell monitor's firmware in 15 minutes with a Ghidra MCP.
🔍 One feature, with evidence: Obsidian's quick switcher rebuilt and checked against the real app across 4,915 queries.
🔑 What your build leaks: the hidden unlock code in a stripped Mac app, recovered straight from the binary.
❄️ The vendor app you hate: the most-liked post in the sweep was @icanberk (22,478 likes) reverse-engineering their AC by having Codex watch an emulator's network calls.
🎮 A whole game: 500 billion tokens, 99% of functions back, 83% byte-exact. The trick: "A simple PASS or FAIL signal would be enough."
🕹️ Games you own: universal-modder from @rehan_shei, and dozens of old games ported to the browser.
🛠️ IDA for your agent: Hex-Rays shipped an official IDA MCP server, free and open source.
✅ Ground truth: REA's claims about Red Alert checked against EA's GPL source. 7 of 8 right.
🎨 The Adobe clones: the biggest videos of the week were about Photoshop and Premiere rebuilt in Rust. Everyone credited REA. The repos say clean-room, from public specs.
