Nordic Domain Days 2026 just wrapped-up. I had the opportunity to speak about AI Agents, Identity, and Domain Names on the NDD stage two days ago. The keynote wasn’t recorded by the event production, but I had my iPhone capturing it, which allows me to at least put the audio on the slides. Here it is. (Note: for the first two minutes I am fighting a remote control with empty batteries, after…

TTL 60 The best thing that could happen to your team is you disappearing for three months. I spent the first fifteen years of my career sleeping with my phone in my hand. I managed the technical infrastructure for hotel booking platforms in Paris. Three people: one running the business, one handling sales, me running the technology. The servers crashed often and I was the only person who could…

TTL 59 In December 2021, I wrote an article about the future of work. Today, I’m updating that article, particularly looking at how AI has since modified that vision and how, in some ways, it has made it even more urgent. This was, in extreme synthesis, my thesis: “”” We measure the value of work in three ways — by input, output, or outcome. Input measures the time spent working. It’s a…

Ever had Claude wait twenty minutes for your “yes,” while you made coffee in the next room? This is the small annoyance of agentic work: most tool calls go through, but every now and then Claude wants to do something that needs a human confirmation. Delete a folder. Push a branch. Run a script it hasn’t run before. The agent stops and waits. If I’m at the laptop, fine — I tap and it continues.…

TTL 58 When television was first invented, the early broadcasters simply pointed a camera at a theater stage. They had a transformative new medium, but they used it to replicate an existing structure because it was their only point of reference. We are doing the exact same thing with AI today. We apply human frameworks—virtual assembly lines, department silos, and traditional “teams”—because…

TTL 57 The other day, I was on a bus trying to figure out whether I should have taken the tram instead to get to my destination quicker. Somewhere between two stops, I thought someone should have invented an app for this. And then, in a second, my brain snapped: I described the idea to an AI on my phone and, by the time I got off the bus, I had a design mockup. Less than twenty-four hours…

TTL 56 When I talk to people about these tools, they’re often disoriented. Honestly, fair enough: Claude Chat, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, OpenClaw… they sound similar, they overlap, and nobody explains when to use which. I thought I’d share my actual setup and the logic behind it, maybe it could help you too. So here’s when I use each of these tools: ✎ Claude Chat → for quick, disposable…

TTL 55 The first session on Claude Code for non-developers was about foundations. This one is about getting your hands dirty. We’ll assume you understand the basic principles of how Claude Code works, as well as the necessary tools. If you need a refresh, feel free to check out the first part of this guide. I’ve recorded these because the gap between “I understand how it works” and “I can do…

Early morning landing in Munich (MUC) from Mumbai (BOM), 2026-03-13

When a band gets fifty thousand people singing along in a stadium, the crowd sounds surprisingly good — on pitch, on tempo. Not because concert-goers are better singers than karaoke regulars They’re the same people. The difference is sample size. In a crowd of 50,000, every individual is slightly off — sharp, flat, early, late. But those errors are random. They distribute around the correct…

TTL 54 For years, we talked about being a T-shaped professional: having a broad base of knowledge with one deep area of expertise. But with AI, you can multiply your impact in every field where you have enough of a foundation to direct the tools. AI is moving us toward being square-shaped. This same line of reasoning applies to Claude Code: you do not need to be a professional coder to build a…

I find intriguing how lately Apple TV shows opening credits seem to follow similar inspirations. The first is the OG, Slow Horses, one of the best series in the past ten years, with an opening music by Mick Jagger who, somehow, seems to not get older anymore… It’s by far the best of the three, and if you watch only one of these three videos (or the three corresponding series, let it be that…

TTL 53 A few days ago, I looked again at a photo I had taken. It was vibrant, detailed, alive. The colors were doing real work—guiding the eye, creating tension, adding warmth. It was, without question, a color photograph. One of those images that feels complete exactly as it is. I decided to share it on monochrome.photo. There was just one problem. The site is—by my own choice—strictly black…

Like many, I have been experimenting with OpenClaw, the AI agent setup that has taken the world (or at least, the nerdiest pockets of it) by storm over the past few weeks. I set up my agent, named it Totoro, gave it the beginning of a personality, and started interacting with it via Telegram, because that’s the messaging app I use most. Yesterday I decided that, among many experiments and…

TTL 52 One of the most significant shifts in the software development industry over the last two decades has been the move from shipping distinct update versions to continuous iteration. If you worked in tech twenty years ago, you remember how it used to be. When a new version of Photoshop or Windows came out, you bought a box. Inside was a stack of floppy disks or CD-ROMs. You spent hours…
