Inside the Book
From the decision to leave, to the first commits, to mid-climb, to what compounding actually looks like.
Work in progress. The outline below reflects the book’s current structure. Chapter titles and order may change before publication.
Before
“The era changed. Most people haven’t noticed yet.”
Ch 1: What I Was Doing
Three decades in enterprise integration. The career that made the pivot possible—and the one that almost made it impossible to leave.
Ch 2: What Changed
The AI pivot moment. Not the chatbot version. The moment when a calculator started looking like an employee.
Ch 3: Leaving
The exit decision. The math of walking away from a stable paycheck to build something you can’t yet prove will work.
First Commits
“Start small. Ship something. Then let it pull you forward.”
Ch 4: Choosing the First Project
The projects that work with AI look nothing like the ones that get written up in blog posts. How to pick something small enough to finish.
Ch 5: Velocity Point in a Weekend
From empty repo to running site in 48 hours—using agents for the code, the copy, and the deploys. The proof of concept that wasn’t supposed to be a company.
Ch 6: Second Ring Takes Shape
The real business: what it does, who it’s for, and what the agents do on its behalf. The moment “demo” turned into “customer.”
Mid-climb
“Everybody’s hero story sounds clean. This one still has the mud on it.”
Ch 7: The Things That Broke
Agents that confidently deleted the wrong files. Context windows that filled with junk. Pull requests merged in the wrong order. The failure catalog.
Ch 8: What AI Actually Does For You
The real work, measured honestly: code, tests, first drafts, boilerplate, glue, research, parallel explorations. The places AI is genuinely infinite leverage.
Ch 9: What You Still Have to Do Yourself
Taste. Judgment. Customer conversations. Decisions about what not to build. The parts that are still yours and always will be.
Leverage
“One person, one laptop, a dozen agents. This is the new default.”
Ch 10: The Compounding Begins
What it looks like when the repository becomes the company. Agents submitting pull requests while you sleep. The first week that felt like a team of ten.
Ch 11: Why Four Books
The unexpected side effect of building with AI: you can also write with it. Four books in parallel with a real company—how, and why it matters.
Ch 12: What’s Next
Where the leverage ceiling actually is. What changes in the next twelve months. Why this is the worst the tools will ever be.
