Better Building provides a practical model for putting lean thinking into action and improving the experience of project work. Based on years of experience shifting mindsets and behaviors, this model answers the ...

From coding agents to research agents to analyst agents and more, we've already seen agents accelerate teams and organizations.

A valid AI prediction is only the beginning of a reliable decision. When a system classifies a customer request or scores an uncertain situation, the next question is not simply whether the response looks plausible. Is the evidence sufficient? Is the response valid? Should the application act, defer to a reviewer, or request clarification? And can the resulting workflow recover from a failed or duplicate operation? This practical guide explains how to design the software around typed AI judgments so that evidence, prediction, policy, and execution have distinct, testable responsibilities. ...

I'm a bankrupt systems engineer who bought a falling-down estate in rural Alabama for forty-four grand, entirely because the phenomenally misspelled "Fer Sal" sign in the front yard spoke to my soul.

You pay me, I grind your character to the cap while you live your ordinary life. Launch night of the expansion, I deliver one last rush order. At zero, my rig goes dark. Fine.

You didn’t save time, you just started managing AI. You try to get AI to do something. You write a prompt, expecting it to handle the task. It gives you an answer… but it’s not really what you wanted. So you tweak it. Add a bit more detail. Try again. Now there’s another issue. Something still feels off. So you adjust it again. Rewrite parts of it. Clarify what you meant. And it keeps going like this. Each time, you get a little closer… but never quite there. So you step in again—guiding it, correcting it, fixing it. Before long, you’re constantly tweaking and micromanaging ...
