The number of founders proposing a solution searching for a problem is underestimated.

While I'm advocating (so far) for AI-driven development in general, I won't lie that I'm becoming more and more concerned about cognitive atrophy from too much reliance on AI.

I will never sacrifice cognitive functions for productivity.

If I could have a successful business without using any social media, I would not even hesitate.

I'm very fine not using X anymore.

Clearly not a loss.

Now I understand why DHH pivoted recently.

Time to dig into the world of self-managed infrastructure. Time to claim sovereignty back.

This video means opportunities for tech entrepreneurs (Fractional CTOs and founders) to help Canada increase their digital sovereignty.

I started to build a related offer for my future customers.

Even US businesses that still want to serve the rest of the Western world in some capacity must rethink digital sovereignty so they can migrate their product infrastructure to other countries (with new legal entities if required).

Self-managed Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and so on.

The risk is at an all-time high.

I had a reality check this morning.

The Greenland crisis is the final warning for EU and Commonwealth companies to stop relying on the US tech stack. It can be weaponized by US executive orders overnight.

I must revise my strategy and the one I recommend for my customers to adapt to this new harsh reality.

Following the recent unacceptable behaviors from the US, as a French person living in Canada, I decided to stop pricing my services in USD and default to CAD instead. I didn't expect the situation to go this far, but here we are.

The US is not reliable anymore, and the USD currency reliability doesn't look good either. Apart from my personal feelings on how the US keeps bullying my fellow citizens, it's also not a viable pricing strategy anymore for my business.

I just noticed that I run a US$400K operation on Apple Notes.

(Mostly.)

I ruthlessly simplify how I do business. I can't see where simplicity is never the answer.

The human skills that mattered before? They matter more now.

Strategic thinking. Judgment under pressure. The ability to connect unrelated concepts and create new ones.

These come from hardship.

You can't prompt your way past indecision. You can't automate mindset. You can't Claude your way through confusion.

Bad sleep. Bad habits. 5 hours scrolling your phone. Conservative thinking. Disempowering thoughts.

AI can't fix that. That's your limiting factor.

AI is not a shortcut.

It's a reflection.

You automate your worst habits.

My DMs are full of people I promised I'd reply to this week. Replying to everyone is unsustainable.

Not ashamed when you ship? You waited too long.

Just got off a strategy call.

Founder mapped out 52 features for 2026.

Seriously. Stop planning 12 months. Plan for 8 weeks max.

You don't know what will work.

What a great way to start 2026.

Let's see how far I can scale solo this year.

Content takes me too much time. I do it too complex.

I downscale from 5 platforms to 2.

Even sharper takes. Shorter posts.

I'm testing a thesis in 2026:

Build a $5M business with 10% of what we think we need.

I call it hyperscaled beautiful cleanliness.

I'm tired of layers upon layers of apps.

I stripped my tool stack back to 2010 basics.

Mostly Apple + Google stack.
