On the State of Tech in 2025

My thoughts on where we are and where we're going.

We're living through one of the most interesting periods in technology. AI is transforming everything. The tools we use to build are getting better every day. The barriers to creating are lower than ever.

What's Working

The democratization of creation is real. Anyone can build an app, start a newsletter, create content. The gatekeepers are losing their power.

AI is actually useful now. Not just a gimmick, but a genuine productivity multiplier. I use it every day.

What's Concerning

Attention is becoming increasingly scarce. The tools that help us create also fragment our focus. Finding signal in the noise is harder than ever.

The speed of change is exhausting. Keeping up feels like a full-time job. It's okay to not follow every trend.

Looking Ahead

I'm optimistic. The builders are winning. The people making things are gaining power over the people just talking about things. That's a good trend.

The best time to start building was yesterday. The second best time is now.
