AI Agent Workflow
The end-to-end process of building software with AI agents like Claude Code — from a rough idea to a shipped release, one solo builder.
Agent Context
How to keep AI coding agents on track: state files, session handoffs, resuming work and writing context an agent can actually use.
Memory Lives in Files, Not Chats: Managing AI Agent Context
Why AI coding agents lose the thread between sessions, and how a small state file in the repo lets any new Claude session resume exactly where work stopped.
Multi-Project
Running five to ten side projects in parallel with AI agents without losing track of what is stuck, dirty or half-done.
How to Run 10 Side Projects in Parallel with AI Agents
A practical system for managing many repos with AI coding agents: one screen for status, a morning routine, session hygiene and clean git everywhere.
Project Management
Lightweight project management for solo developers: phases, next steps, scope control and finishing what you start.
Phases, Not To-Do Lists: Project Management for Solo Devs
A lightweight way to manage solo projects built with AI agents: named phases, one next step, visible blockers and a clear definition of done for every stage.
The Won't-Do List: How to Stop AI Agents From Scope Creep
AI coding agents love to add features. A written won't-do list keeps every version small, reviewable and shippable. How to write one agents follow.
Versions & Releases
Shipping small versions, writing changelogs, carrying unfinished work forward and keeping a release rhythm with AI-built apps.
One Repo, Many Products: Versioning Without Copying Folders
Keep dozens of apps, games and books in a few repos without version chaos: per-product git tags, build files out of git, and clear signs it's time to split.
Ship Small Versions: A Release Rhythm for AI-Built Apps
How to version and release software you build with AI agents: small versions, a plain changelog, carrying unfinished work forward and honest release notes.
Ideas & Brainstorming
Finding, brainstorming, testing and killing product ideas quickly — with AI as a sparring partner, not an oracle.
How to Brainstorm and Kill App Ideas With AI in an Afternoon
A structured way to brainstorm product ideas with an AI sparring partner: generate widely, attack each idea, keep only the ones worth a first version.
Indie Marketing
Marketing for indie makers with many small products: build in public, launch pages, store listings and honest positioning.
Indie Marketing When You Build Many Small Products
Marketing for indie makers shipping many small apps, games or books: one audience, build in public, listing pages that convert, honest positioning.
