Field notes on building with super intelligence

  1. Everybody Is a Director of AI Now

    Every human on the planet needs to retrain to be AI-first: stop doing the labor and direct a team of SI agents to do it. Not just programmers. Nurses, lawyers, teachers, tradespeople and founders too. Here is what that means and how to start this week.

  2. I Don't Write Code Any More - I Manage AI Agent Swarms

    I stopped typing code more than a year ago. My job now is to manage swarms of SI agents. Here is what that job is, day to day: what I do, what I decide, what I never touch, which old management skills still work, and how to make the switch yourself.

  3. Building Multi-Harness Multi-Agent Swarms

    My projects are now built by swarms of SI agents that run in Codex, Grok and Claude Code at once. They share one workflow made of Nushell tools, AGENTS.md files, skills and Git. Here is how it works, what it shipped in three and a half days, and where it still breaks.

  4. Money Won't Survive Super Intelligence

    Energy is money is tokens: three names for one thing. As SI agents turn joules straight into solutions, the middle term gets thin. Money as wages and invoices won't survive super intelligence. Money as memory will.

  5. The Software is Alive!

    When a team of SI agents builds and maintains an app, the app starts to behave like a living thing. It senses, repairs itself and adapts to attacks, markets and the news, within bounds that humans set. Here is what that means, what works today, and where the bounds go.

  6. The Future of Money Is Energy

    Every token an SI agent spends is paid for in joules. As intelligence gets cheaper, energy becomes the one input left, and the sun makes it the frontier resource. Money will not become energy, but energy is becoming what money measures.

  7. When the Car Comes Out Broken, Fix the Factory, Not the Car

    When an SI agent ships something wrong, I do not patch the output. I fix the issue, the skill or the rule that made it, so every future agent gets it right. Here is the factory I run from chat windows today, the car it built this morning, and the harness I want instead.

  8. 492 Useful Commits on a Sunday

    Last weekend, my SI agents made 447 useful commits on Saturday and 492 on Sunday, through about 7 p.m. In 2024, I averaged 19.3 commits a day. Here is how we count, what the number does not mean, and how far it is from my goal.

  9. CAD for Software

    Engineers stopped drawing parts by hand when CAD let them describe the part and let the machine make the drawings. Software is at the same turn. The spec, the rules and the checks are the design file. The code is the output.
