Tooling.

Every tool a 3-person team actually needs in 2026, with line-item costs. The €500/month AI stack we run — and the tools we deliberately don't buy.

AI phone receptionist for small business: rent at $25/month or build for $40–80. The honest math, the SaaS shortlist, and where each path lives or dies.

Claude Code now edits videos end-to-end — cuts, captions, motion graphics, sound. A 20-minute YouTube pipeline. What it means for the people who used to cut.

Meta ads 2026, TikTok ads vs Facebook, Google search, Microsoft Ads — a platform-by-platform decision framework from an operator running budget across all four.

A field essay on what 'enterprise AI coding adoption' actually looks like in 2026 — past the headlines on Goldman Sachs, Stripe, Klarna, Shopify and the Microsoft Copilot Enterprise rollout. Who benefits, who gets displaced, what '10x faster' actually means, and what the next two years hold for the indie builders who watched this happen.

A field report on the actual architecture behind a billion-view-per-month AI content pipeline — topic generation, Nano Banana Pro and Flux for stills, Kling 3 for image-to-video, Remotion and CapCut for assembly, LLM-as-judge for slop rejection, and the distribution layer that doesn't get accounts banned.

I used all three every day for half a year across four businesses. Here's the claude code vs cursor verdict, the v0 vs cursor verdict, and what I wish I'd known.

We pulled GemPages off a Shopify store and rebuilt every landing page as Horizon sections. Theme customization, Liquid custom sections, and the numbers.

Instantly runs the sends. v0 builds the prototypes. Claude handles the research. The instantly ai v0 stack in full — inbox warming, deliverability, the lot.

Sending a working prototype in cold emails raised our reply rate by 5x. The v0 cold outreach playbook — how we scope, build, send, and follow up.

How we use Claude Code as the operating system for four businesses at once — the claude code workflow, the hooks, and the AI agency solo founder tax.

The n8n vs claude agents question gets argued in ideology and decided in practice. Here's when a workflow beats an agent, and when it's the other way around.

I got tired of AI tools ignoring my design system. So I wrote a single file — taste-skill.md — that teaches v0 and Claude my ai design system prompt rules.

How we shipped a production MDX blog on Next.js 16 with Velite: the content layer, typed frontmatter, and why Velite vs Contentlayer was a short debate.

Three years on Webflow. Shut down in a long weekend. The Webflow alternatives we shortlisted, the math behind the move, and the line item we underestimated.
