Chop wood, Carry water
I've spent 20+ years building systems that scale — data architecture, cloud platforms, AI/ML. These days I build AI automation for enterprises, and spend most of my time on one question: why do we keep making simple things complicated?
Most work is hard because we make it complicated. Small teams beat giants. Simple solutions usually win. And when you actually care about what you're building, the rest gets easier.
