Why I Build

Financial Freedom & Independence

The goal isn’t to become a startup founder or build a unicorn. It’s about:

• Creating sustainable income streams that don’t require trading time for money
• Building skills that compound over time
• Having the freedom to work on what matters to me

Human-AI Collaboration

AI is a force multiplier for individuals. With Claude and other AI tools:

• One person can build what previously required a team
• Iteration speed increases dramatically
• The bottleneck shifts from execution to decision-making

This is an experiment in what’s possible when you treat AI as a true collaborator, not just a code completion tool.

Paths Not Taken

I’m deliberately not:

• Optimizing for venture capital or rapid scaling
• Building for “everyone” or chasing large markets
• Following conventional startup playbooks
• Prioritizing growth metrics over learning

Defining Failure

Failure isn’t about projects that don’t generate revenue or users. Failure is:

• Forgetting what I learned
• Not documenting the journey
• Repeating the same mistakes
• Building without intention

That’s why this site exists—to prevent those failures.
