What is Two Free Tuesday? Every Tuesday I drop two business ideas I’d hand to someone and say “go build this.” These are ideas I’m specifically not building — because I already have too many projects running, or because I’d lose interest by Wednesday, or because the idea is dumb but might work anyway.

The first episode of the Build and Bail podcast is live. This is the one where I lay out the whole system — why this site exists, why I keep starting things and bailing on most of them, and why that’s the point. Quick version of what’s in it: I also walk through a few

People have feelings about AI. I have feelings about AI. Here are mine. I’m a validation engineer. I’m not a developer. Before AI, I’d never shipped a production app in my life. In the last year I’ve shipped: None of that existed before because I couldn’t build it. The skill gap was real. AI didn’t
