When everything is easy to build, taste becomes the bottleneck
I’ve been spending more time vibe coding recently, and I’ve started to question something I initially took for granted. Most of the conversation around vibe coding is about speed. Like how quickly you can go from idea to prototype, or how fast you can iterate. And to be fair, that part is real. The barrier to building has clearly dropped. But the more I use these tools, the more it feels like...
Are we pricing AI agents the wrong way?
I’ve been thinking a lot about how AI agents are being monetized, and I’m not convinced we’ve landed on the right model yet. Most of them are still packaged like traditional SaaS: monthly subscriptions, seat-based plans, or usage tiers. But agents don’t really fit neatly into the “software tool” category. When an agent is doing real work for a business, the value isn’t coming from access alone,...
Weekend vibe project -- a mini internal RL environment host
Built Hyta’s mini internal RL environment host this weekend. It’s only a TUI for now. It can register and spin up environments, run and monitor rollouts, stream logs and telemetry, and manage a small model registry. Still early and scrappy, but super fun to build and test custom RL environments.
Are we underestimating the value of “boring” businesses in tech?
There’s still a lot of attention on flashy categories: AI agents, creator tools, social apps. At the same time, you keep hearing quiet stories about people building solid, calm businesses around very unsexy problems: invoicing for a niche industry, compliance workflows, scheduling in weird contexts, back-office tools nobody outside the niche has heard of. I’m curious whether your view of...
Are we learning too much and practicing too little in tech?
I notice a weird pattern in myself and people around me in tech: there’s always a new course, book, newsletter, or even “playbook”. We consume more than ever, but I’m not sure we apply more than before. It feels productive to always be “learning”, but sometimes I wonder if it’s just a smarter form of procrastination. On the flip side, tech moves so fast that if you don’t keep learning, you can...
Will personal brands matter more than CVs in the next 5 years?
Everywhere I look, I see founders and operators investing heavily in their personal brand: LinkedIn posts every day X threads Podcasts, YouTube, newsletters and substacks too Meanwhile, their CV or portfolio gets updated maybe once a year. I’m wondering if we’re heading into a world where your online signal (what you say, who engages with you, what you ship publicly) will matter more than any...
