About this listen
This week’s episode is a little different: instead of an interview, I’m reading an essay I wrote called “Sitting at a Slot Machine,” a candid story about falling headfirst into “vibe coding,” building an increasingly elaborate AI Context System, and realizing that unlimited execution can be just as dangerous as it is exhilarating. I unpack the dopamine loop of constant progress, the slow creep of complexity disguised as productivity, and the hard pivot back to simplicity... where the real craft becomes pruning, not piling on, and a few tight, well-chosen habits beat any sprawling framework.
