How do you do all this?

Constraint is the product strategy

How does that work?

Less money = fewer people = clearer decisions

That’s either brilliant or insane

About
Farm boy to founder.
Remote village. I needed a vinyl cutter cable for a business I was starting.
I downloaded a schematic from the glacial African internet, went to a township mechanic, and convinced him to let me dig through his box of junk cables.

Get your hands dirty.
I found one, took it back to our village, and rewired it to match the schematic. It worked, the vinyl cutter worked, business started. ✊

About
It’s fixable.
I got cancer at 18 and beat it with nutrition. I learned that things are fixable. Then traveled the world solving important problems and climbing the ranks in the tech industry.

Everything you want to know.
Do you use AI?
I use AI to code, not create.
I use Cursor and Claude to build apps, but have not been impressed with their creative ideas or execution on any level whatsoever. So my content and branding is all me.
What's your position on AI?
AI has been solid since the 90s when we shifted away from hand-coded rules, and toward learning from data. Gaming loved it. Enemies that can adapt to your choices rather than just run a script.
AI has been getting better since then. Let’s take protein-folding for exampe.
60 years of structural biology using X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, and NMR had resolved 300,000 structures. The process often took months or even years per protein and relied on expensive equipment.
After AI started helping, we’ve gotten to 240 million structures in the last 3 years. AI helps the same way computers helped when they came out. A lot.
What did you do in the tech industry?
In my 20s I delivered AIDS meds in South Africa and did disaster relief in various parts of the world.
Then I joined the tech industry and rose the ranks to become Head of Design at Cameo and Greenfly. Then was recruited by Meta.
Didn’t love it there, so now I run my own companies.
