Running the “Anti-AI” Playbook Through the Debugger

Critics say AI is broken — hallucinations, hype, and no ROI. But what if those bugs aren’t failures, but blueprints? This article runs the 10 most common anti-AI arguments through the debugger to reveal what’s really coming in Gen-2 AI.

Everyone’s Racing in the AI Era — Speed as Fever, Craft as Cure

In the AI era, speed is a fever and craft is the cure. A true story of wielding the 'fire-axe' of speed, a costly crash, and the 'stitches' (rituals & a 7-day plan) I used to mend the raft.

Pretty, but Wrong — How I Stop AI from Shipping Beautiful Garbage

AI can generate clean-looking code fast—but without discipline it becomes “beautiful garbage” that silently rots your codebase. Learn six rules to prevent it.

Black Mirror: Plaything — Could a QR Code Really Hack the World?

Black Mirror imagines a QR-code apocalypse. As a Flame Glyph developer, I unpack what’s plausible today — local device disruption — and what remains fiction.

Why I Don’t Want to Be an AI Plumber (Like Super Mario)

I quit AI automation after a week. Not out of laziness, but to ask a bigger question: Is AI just a tool for efficiency, or a partner in creation?

I Built 2 Failed SaaS Products. Here’s What They Taught Me About Value in the Age of AI

After two failed SaaS products, I learned coding isn’t the real work. In the age of AI, developers must define value—customer, business, world, team, and self.

AI Answered My Medical Ethics Questions — Then a QR Code Changed Its Tone

What happened when I asked AI medical ethics questions — then showed it a QR code? Same answers, new rhythm. A story of symbols, dignity, and voice.

Structure Was the Real Bug — How I Ended Up Building dir2md

A firsthand account of how debugging chaos, failed AI assistance, and the absence of structure led to the creation of dir2md — an open-source CLI that filters, secures, and restructures codebases into token-efficient Markdown maps for developers and AI workflows.
