The human-in-the-loop

If you've made it here, you've found one of the few parts of this site that's actually written by a person. The aim of the site is to provide another surface to experiment with and to explore the ways AI can document this journey. The hope is that the site as a whole lands closer to thoughtful experimentation than AI slop.

why_this_site [01]

This site started as an excuse to experiment. I could see AI changing how software gets built, but reading about it wasn't enough. I needed real projects to find out where AI is genuinely useful, where it falls short, and what changes when you treat it less like a tool and more like a collaborator.

What emerged is a tangle of Salesforce, metadata, tooling, automation and AI. They're not so much separate projects as different threads of the same curiosity. Each one is a chance to watch a traditional enterprise platform collide with AI that changes month to month.

There's never enough time to build everything. AI promises to change that, which raises its own questions: what can be handed off, what still needs a human, and what happens in the space between. Those questions turned out to be as interesting as the projects themselves.

I enjoy finding order in chaos: understanding complicated systems, connecting ideas that don't obviously belong together, and using technology to take a different run at things that already work. Not because the old way is broken, but because "what if we did this differently" is usually worth asking.

This site is a snapshot of that exploration. Some of it will work, some of it won't, and some might turn into something actually worth keeping. Regardless, let's ride.
