About
From Iowa. Based in Minneapolis.
I grew up where hard work wasn't something you talked about, you just did it. That disposition — not any specific skill — turned out to be the best preparation for every wave of change.
I've been building software for 30 years. Three waves: mobile, cloud, AI. The tools change every few years. The work doesn't.
I believe AI is an exoskeleton of superpowers for people who choose to move. The discourse wants to frame AI skill as binary. It's not. It's cumulative. Every rep counts, even the ones that seem to produce nothing.
