After years of commercial VPN services, I decided to self-host. One afternoon, one VPS, Claude Code doing all the work. Shadowsocks got blocked within hours, the cert saga had three false starts, but what came out the other side was more complete than I expected.

In Agentic AI Thoughts I wrote that memory orchestration is the technical moat. Now I've built it with Claude Code — MBTI long-term memory + Deep Companion, and what happens when AI actually remembers what you said.

When an agent understands its own source code, the loop closes. Software stops being something you build — it starts building itself.

Coding is the beachhead, not the destination. The paradigm shift has already happened — but the window won't stay open forever.

SemiAnalysis calls Claude Code the inflection point. As someone who works inside Claude Code every day, I want to explain why Anthropic built it, and what it actually changed.

Eight practical lessons — none requiring a technical background — on how to actually start working with AI. From paying for the best model to cultivating taste as your moat.

The skill that matters in the agent era isn't coding — it's managing AI. From giving clear instructions to calibrating trust, here's what working with agents actually looks like.

A weekend teaching a non-engineer friend to use AI agents revealed the real bottleneck of the agent revolution: not technology, not cost, but cognition.

Reflections on a podcast interview with MuleRun's founder — Claude Code as the ultimate General Agent, disposable software, and what happens when the agent economy thesis meets reality.

Agents will live your life for you — socializing, negotiating, filtering. The infrastructure for agent identity, payment, reputation, and proxy social networks is the next platform play.
