AI is supercharging engineers - we’re building faster, learning quicker, and doing more with less.
But while we race ahead, most people I know aren’t using AI at all. If we don’t bridge this gap, are we leaving them behind?

For a while now, I've been exploring different platforms to create AI agents that assist me in daily tasks. I finally found a system that is both easy to use and flexible. So far I've built a product owner, project manager and brand expert.

Wow. If you consider yourself an indie hacker or #buildinpublic, read this. To me, it feels like an incredibly accurate summary of all books I read and talks I watched around this topic over the past 12 months on how to become a solo entrepreneur.
I recently gave the closing keynote at PyCon South Africa.
In it, I covered everything I've learned going from a developer to a solopreneur, with two goals:
1. Convince people it's a viable career path.
2. Help them do it.
