Why, What, and How

Why are we doing this? The simple answer: We want to revolutionize software production. Millions of people have ideas—visions of software and applications that could improve their everyday life. At home, at work, in their hobbies. Some ideas are just for fun, while others have real impact. Companies, especially the ones with limited resources, struggle with the same challenges. For some, it’s not just about convenience—it’s about survival. They need the right tools, but buying software off the shelf is not always an option. It may be too expensive, too complex, or simply doesn’t fit their exact needs. ...

Building Something Big

I have a vision. A dream of building an operational management system for organizations involved in sports worldwide. It is not a new idea. For years, I have planned it with a good friend of mine, someone deeply connected to sports on many levels. On top of that, he is an excellent coder and software designer. We have tested the idea and concept at the design level and even attempted to build prototypes. But due to the complexity of the idea, progress has been almost nonexistent. We realized early on that we would need an army of seasoned coders to make this a reality. ...

The Wow Effect: First Time Coding with AI

Last year Rolf, a longtime friend and trusted coder—someone I’d spent years frustrating with my grand visions and relentless demands—introduced me to a new concept: AI-assisted coding. He’d finally decided, with a mixture of amusement and relief, that I was ready to tackle coding on my own. Or at least, with the help of AI. A bold decision, considering my past as a corporate executive who had seen it all except for this. ...

Maximizing AI Coding Assistance: The Case for Minimal Rule Sets

Through the years, I have learned to appreciate the interplay of precision and simplicity in driving performance. Now, as I delve into the realm of AI-driven code generation, I find a striking parallel: the potential of AI to revolutionize software development is immense, but realizing this potential hinges on adhering to fundamental, well-defined guidelines—particularly when it comes to rule sets. The concept of rule sets—structured instructions to guide AI behavior—is hardly new. In theory, they allow us to shape AI output to align with project goals, coding standards, and specific methodologies. In practice, however, I’ve found that an overabundance of rules often complicates rather than clarifies. My experiences and observations through rigorous testing suggest that embracing minimalism in rule design can unleash the true capabilities of AI coding assistants. Here’s why. ...

Meet Rolf

Hi, I’m Rolf. Let me share a bit about my journey in technology. Growing up, I was surrounded by the fascinating world of computers. My mom was a pioneer in the 1960s, working with those massive, room-sized machines. By the 1980s, she was teaching others the emerging language of coding. At just 9 years old, she taught me to code, and I was not only playing games but also diving into their inner workings. Having a computer expert as a parent was a fortunate beginning to a lifelong journey in technology. ...
