Why I'm betting on AI-curated directories when Google AI Overviews answer the same queries

The obvious counterargument to everything I'm building is this: Google already does it. You type "best AI tools for video editing" into Google and an AI Overview surfaces a curated list, synthesized from the same kind of data I maintain, without requiring a click. My three directory sites — Top AI Tools, Find Games Like, and Open Alternative To — are competing with a feature baked into the world's...

Built an open-source outbound API gateway in Django/DRF.

​ The idea started after getting tired of re-implementing the same things every time I integrated third-party APIs: * auth handling * OAuth token refresh * rate limiting * quotas * logging * endpoint wrappers * response formatting So I built **Asstgr**: a self-hosted platform where you register external APIs once, define endpoints/params/methods, and then access everything through a unified...

An Oracle DBA builds AI: shipping Oracle 23ai RAG and an MCP server in a weekend

I asked Claude to 'DROP TABLE' on my Oracle database. It tried. The guardrails refused. The audit log captured it. That's the demo screenshot at the top of mcp-oracle-dba, one of two open-source repos I shipped this weekend as an Oracle Apps DBA learning AI infrastructure. The other is oracle-ebs-rag — a retrieval-augmented chat assistant over Oracle E-Business Suite resolution notes, running on...

I kept noticing my overtime paycheck felt wrong, so I built a small calculator

I don’t work in payroll or accounting, but I’ve been doing some overtime lately and kept running into something a lot of people seem to notice: You put in extra hours… and your paycheck doesn’t really feel like it goes up as much as you’d expect. At first I figured I was just misunderstanding taxes or something with brackets. But the more I looked into it, the more it seemed like the issue usual...

Only 3% of Companies Have Truly Transformed with AI

Google surveyed 2,643 business leaders and knowledge workers across 6 countries. The headline finding: only 3% of organizations have truly transformed with AI. Not "adopted AI." Not "deployed AI tools." Transformed — meaning AI is embedded across multiple departments, multiple use cases, and producing measurable business outcomes. 72% are still in the early stages. 45% are "exploring." 27% are "i...

How to Build a Privacy-First Search Engine in 2026

How to Build a Privacy-First Search Engine in 2026 Most search engines today operate on a simple business model: you are the product. Every query you type, every result you click, every page you visit — it all feeds into a profile that gets sold to advertisers. I spent six months building an alternative. Here's what I learned.

How LumiClip Finds the Best Moments in Your Video and Reframes Them for Mobile

When someone uploads an hour-long podcast or a Twitch VOD to LumiClip, they expect ten short, vertical, ready-to-post clips back. Two pipelines do the heavy lifting: a highlight finder that decides what's worth clipping, and a reframer that turns landscape footage into something that looks native on a phone screen. Here's how each one actually works under the hood. The core problem with asking on...

AI Job Displacement is Starting With Lost Tasks, Not Jobs

AI job displacement is already showing up in verified reporting as lost work, compressed tasks, and changing hiring signals rather than a single clean wave of full replacement. Across recent NovaKnown reporting, the documented pattern is that workers and contractors are losing hours, tasks, or leverage first, while more value shifts to deployment, verification, and integration work. That is a nar...
