A working notebook for thinking and building alongside AI.
Thirty years a developer, now working out what the craft becomes when AI is part of the work. This is the public side of that workshop: short reflections, projects that shipped, and long-form writing that includes exploratory work.
What I'm working on right now.
Recent work, in progress and just shipped.
Shattered Worlds
A roguelite deckbuilder where each world remakes how you build, and a Destiny thread carries across the shattering
The Road to Wisdom
AI should transform engineering work, not simply replace it. As implementation becomes increasingly automated, the human role becomes applying judgment: defining intent, evaluating tradeoffs, and deciding what good work looks like. What does that require, and how do we get there?
Personal Charter
What I believe about trust, feedback, and how I lead.
Three places to start.
Projects, long-form writing, and shorter reflections. Start wherever the curiosity lands.
Projects
Things I've built with clear goals, from Memory Loop to the Guild Hall.

The public side of a private workshop.
I'm Ron, a developer for nearly thirty years. The past couple of years changed how this work gets done, and I'm not standing to the side of that shift. This space tracks the exploration: projects I'm building with AI tools, and what it actually means to work alongside them.
The goal here is learning, not publishing. But writing is the most accessible way to make that work shareable. I hope something here is useful, or at least gets you asking your own version of the same questions.
