Ship Faster Than the Tech Changes
Change is weekly
New models ship every month. I cannot outrun them. I outlearn them. I put the same pressure on my deploy pipeline and wrote the numbers up in How I Cut Deploy Time from 8 Minutes to 90 Seconds.
How I practice
I refresh core ideas: transformers, diffusion, retrieval. I treat prompt craft as a skill and review prompts like code. The same discipline carries into agent builds, and I lay out that path in AI Agent Development: From Prototype to Production.
Honesty saves time
When I say I do not know yet in planning, the team saves a week of wrong work. Honesty is the fastest path to the right answer.
AI literacy for all
I run short sessions where everyone builds a small agent. Baseline literacy beats hero expertise. Literacy holds as a crew habit, and I argue for that in AI Team Culture Over Models: How Full-Stack Crews Ship.
