Nice! Yeah, this was also our thinking too, although more focused on @nprofile…z8es for now and starting a couple of challenger small businesses that are agent-native day one. Keep us posted, think we'll see more of these opportunities especially with a pending wave of boomer retirements. Will be great to see how you're navigating it. When you land one we should chat on the AI side too

Nice! What types of businesses are you looking at?

2026-02-19 05:31:33 UTC

This week on @nprofile…8u4a, @nprofile…r3z3 and I chatted about why companies shouldn't be quick to outsource AI to consultants or software vendors.
We recorded this right after a 3.5 hour workshop where about 30 non-technical people built and deployed their own web and mobile apps, so it seemed like the right time to explore this.
We’re seeing a lot of organisations trying to figure out how to create an AI strategy, but for many of them, I think this is the wrong place to start.
There's a big gap in first-hand experience with AI and this is where strategy tends to break down.
It's just really hard to create a strategy for something you don't deeply understand.
It's a bit like being asked to create a strategy for magic.
Brandon Sanderson wrote his Laws of Magic as a guide for fantasy authors. If magic has no rules and can solve any problem arbitrarily, readers feel cheated. But if magic operates within clear constraints that readers understand, then solutions feel satisfying.
AI probably looks a bit like magic to many businesses right now.
When people inside a business start experimenting with the tools themselves, rather than outsourcing AI to consultants or software vendors, the organisation makes much better decisions about where and how AI fits inside the business.
This is why developing internal capability should come before strategy.
Capability means three things.
➡️ It’s shared mental models about what AI can and can't do led by internal AI champions - people who understand the technology, adapt as the technology evolves, can answer questions based on experience, and can evangelise organically.
➡️ A safe environment where this capability can be nurtured and supported over time, alongside others facing similar challenges, where gains are methodical and compound over time, and
➡️ A way to deploy what is built directly into the organisation so that capability translates into productivity across the organisation.
That’s a flywheel for capability development. It means you own your strategy and allow it to organically form and evolve over time.

Mostly Claude Code, some Codex and Wingman - built by @nprofile…0350 which we use at @nprofile…chs4. I started out with Cursor and I'll still review code there, but it's predominantly in the terminal
Mostly building business tools, some work on graph databases, websites, games, and even a personal finance/tax prep tool. A lot of audience of one stuff.
Posted this one earlier, it's a Miro style infinite canvas synced with Claude Code/Wingman so we can collab in a visual space.

It looks like Miro, acts like Miro, but its not Miro. It's Optikon, an infinite canvas that syncs with AI agents like Wingman / Claude Code, so we can collaborate visually in real time.
Uses Nostr for auth and identity, authorship, and collaboration scoped to pubkeys.
Here's a really rough early attempt from Claude Code mapping out how it might implement a JSON pipeline to collaborate with me visually on the canvas

Definitely mate! I started out drawing up design docs and then I fed those to Claude Code as scaffolding. One of the docs is a phased implementation plan for it to follow and I'd review it, but Claude Code was doing the heavy lifting.
Deviated a bit from the plan on this in terms of UI, there are a few rough progress shots on my feed, but otherwise it's pretty true to the original spec. We chat about this 'slow code' approach quite a lot on the pod too

GM Nostr! @nprofile…8u4a was back in-person at the beach this week.
@nprofile…drps and I chatted about how AI agents give individuals the power to solve their own problems and why treating agents like employees with their own computers might be the key to unlocking AI leverage.
We also covered:
- The lobotomization problem and why model flexibility matters for production systems
- Building processes with agents - triggers, workflows, and file-based conventions, and
- Using Nostr keys for identity management in small business tools
Let me know if there's anything Pete and I should be covering next week on the pod

Looking back, @nprofile…w2ua’s book The Price of Tomorrow was such an important moment in my personal journey to Bitcoin.
Five years on, @nprofile…e2ph and I had the opportunity to sit down with Jeff for episode 24 of @nprofile…8u4a.
We covered a lot of ground, from how consciousness shapes our perceived reality, why personal journeys to Bitcoin often stem from a desire for agency and freedom, and how AI and Bitcoin can enhance rather than compete with each other.
Getting to explore these ideas with the person whose work has been so influential in my personal journey was very cool.
I really hope you enjoy our latest episode with Jeff as much as we did. It's a big one.
