This week I’m launching a three-part series on something I built. It’s three automated podcast feeds that turn my information diet into audio each day, without manual work.
Before that, a distinction.
The Rules are Changing
Role boundaries are dissolving in real time.
Designers aren’t handing off wireframes anymore. They are shipping prototypes. Product managers aren’t writing tickets to the backlog. They are fixing bugs. Operations analysts aren’t requesting data engineering work. They are building the models themselves.
This isn’t job creep. It’s agency expanding into spaces it couldn’t reach before.
This starts in the enterprise. It doesn’t stay there. (More on that to come)
Demos light up the imagination.
Steve Jobs was extraordinary at making you want something that didn’t exist yet. Neil deGrasse Tyson is amazing at making the incomprehensible feel inevitable. But Bob Ross? Bob Ross showed you how to paint. Brush in hand, step by step, on camera, every time.
That’s the model.
Showing is not shipping.
Most of us won’t be Jobs or Tyson. But we can all be Bob Ross. We can show the work, share the technique, and put the brush in someone else’s hand. That’s the multiplicative impact, where we enable and uplevel the community around us.
Last week, I introduced the idea that AI turns nouns into verbs.
This is the next chapter.
Starting Wednesday:
Wednesday: Three podcast feeds I built without being an engineer. I’ll explain why I’m building in public.
Thursday: How to build it, and who can do it today versus who will be able to do it tomorrow
Friday: What it means when adoption, not just exposure, spreads through your community
The goal isn’t to impress you. It’s to equip you.
See you on Wednesday.
Subscribe for techniques that work, documented as they're built.
