I believe in achieving superagency through computational thinking and agentic systems design. One person with the right systems around them can reasonably:
- make $50,000 to $100,000 a month from businesses that run themselves
- become conversationally fluent in six languages without making languages their life
- talk through whatever interests them with an expert while out on a walk
I build these systems around myself, and here I:
- study what other people are building and talk to them
- write about what I'm building and learning
- share the tools and techniques that make it work
- write guides for individuals and organizations building their own
My background is in developer tools and developer experience. I founded and led an R&D lab building blockchain dev tooling, including compilers and visual debuggers for WebAssembly smart contract systems, and before that I led developer relations and ecosystem growth at Terra.
Now
I run my life on ai-organs, a personal system an agent operates for me, and I'm building busibody, a fleet of small businesses that agents run the same way. I'm writing both up in enough detail to be useful.

Agent is whatever you define it to be, because it's actually all just system design.
