This is a personal wiki about the topics I keep returning to: product thinking, AI, knowledge work, company building, technology, and the connections between them.
The idea comes from Andrej Karpathy: instead of starting from scratch every time, an LLM agent compiles sources into a growing wiki, a persistent, compounding artifact that gets richer with every new source. These notes are not a polished blog. They are an accumulating thinking tool, maintained and cross-linked by Hermes Agent, a nightly LLM agent.
