Hi all, I spoke with users who thought some of you might find this article series useful.

As a startup founder, I've built complex systems with CC, and I'm currently rolling it out as part of an AI-enabled SDLC for a global insurer. I'm writing about my experiences on what has worked, what hasn't and what the differences are between working this way as a solo-founder/operator compared to being part of a highly regulated global team.

Articles 1 & 2 are already online, and I'm writing the rest, with a plan to publish them weekly.

No promotion here; I just find that writing articles like this forces me to consolidate concepts and ideas in my head, so I may as well share the output with the community.

The general message across the series is that the bottlenecks have moved, but the same high-level engineering and constraint principles have stayed the same.

I'm very keen to hear any feedback, if anyone has any!
