Advice you didn't fucking ask for

Twenty years of things I wish someone had told me earlier. One at a time, no context, no apology.

About me

Twenty years across agencies, a news app and a regional daily, always on the same question: how an audience gets built, and how it turns into revenue. I read the numbers, then I design what people actually see.

Side projects

Products shipped end to end, on my own with AI pair-programming: the product calls are mine. Each went out before I asked whether anyone wanted them. The grid came after: five gates, cheapest to most expensive, checked before a line of code.
