I’ll try to write what I’ve been working on and what I’ve been thinking about here. Nowadays this means: Future of things like AI, Tech, Product Design, Security & Privacy.
Embrace the Stupid Shit™
I generally write in an exploratory way rather than authoritative; it’s a way of sharing and processing for me. I’m sure I’ll say Stupid Shit™. If I’m afraid to say Stupid Shit™ then I cannot write with the intention of discovery. Therefore I’ll embrace the Stupid Shit™
Just to be clear, no AI used in writing this blog other than spell/grammar checking. Henceforth my promise is: if I need to use AI to write something, I’ll just give you the prompt…. On the flip side of this, you have to re-wire your brain to understand the sentences I construct.
You don’t know what you don’t know
In the age of super smart LLMs, writing technical content is weird. If an LLM can answer anything reasonably and if it’s tailored to you specifically what’s the point of reading something technical? Less than usual for sure, I find myself reading technical content much less than I used to.
However LLMs don’t address the “You don’t know what you don’t know” problem. My approach to the hard technical content is addressing these:
- It’s a way to make you aware of things that you don’t know or incorrectly assumed just like I did.
- Demystifying things, which I find LLMs are not great at because you need to ask the question.
Finally it’s for myself, I remember and learn better while writing. I’m still not quite sure if blogging still makes sense in 2026 but I already take these notes (albeit in a shittier format) so why not share them.
Author
If you are reading this, you possibly know me.
If not, I’m an ex-tech-CEO who’s been in tech for 25 years. In that quarter of a century I spent my time designing, coding, developing products, hacking stuff, managing people, pissing people off and contemplating life.
Nowadays I’m mostly thinking about AI (Agentic AI, Private/Sovereign AI) and the inevitable transformation of technology as we know it.
Intentionally keeping this vague to separate the man from the ideas, also, when I inevitably say Stupid Shit™ that will be archived forever, I’ll have plausible deniability.
What’s the name about?
I asked ChatGPT to pick the most pretentious name possible for my personal blog, and $10.40 + tax later here we are.
Acknowledgement
This blog only exists because couple of my good friends suggested I should go back to blogging referring to the fact this is something I used to do about more than 15 years ago quite regularly.
Thank you guys, I’m having fun.
