An easy setup guide to help you run a private AI on your own laptop in under 15 mins

I've enjoyed the ride with Claude & Codex. But rising costs, quality regressions, and the rise of capable local models might bring private and trustworthy AI to everyday users soon.

Earlier in the year, I used AI to build me a prompt analyzer app in 20 mins. It took me weeks to wade through the slop and apply the right methods to make it work correctly.

A workflow for building real things (not demos) with AI coding agents

The victory of solving a hard problem was sweeter when things used to take time. Now, getting a dopamine hit from watching an agent do all the work, is not the same at all.

Frontier models are extraordinary. On-device alternatives are not there yet for the average person. But the privacy and cost math is shifting fast.

I analyzed a year of my Claude conversations. The patterns were more revealing than the content itself.

Most data scientists inherit someone else's pipeline. I built one end-to-end — product design, instrumentation, statistics — to show how it's done at the highest levels.
