Notes
Notes from building SpielOS
I write about agent systems, product failures, context, workflows, evaluations, and the decisions behind SpielOS.
Mostly the parts that broke before they worked.
How to Automate Accounting and Bookkeeping With AI
How to automate accounting and bookkeeping with AI: what you can automate, how the loop works, benefits with real numbers, costs and ROI, and a step-by-step rollout.
How to Automate Recruitment With AI: CV Screening and Candidate Matching
How to automate recruitment with AI: candidate screening, CV screening, and candidate matching on the tools your team already uses, with a human still making the calls.
My AI Company Generated 2,000 Qualified Leads While I Slept
No prospecting team. Zero dollars spent on lead gen tools. See how an AI worker researched, verified, scored, and rejected leads all weekend — and how you can install the same worker yourself, free.
Every Workflow I Reuse Is a Skill. I Made 10 Public.
10 production-grade skills I actually use daily: video creation from HTML, content writing, Persian translation, SEO, analytics, design systems, and more. Full repo, full scripts, full templates.
The Waitlist That Almost Didn't Work
You use AI to build fast. But the field that decides whether your launch has a market is usually the least verified thing you own. The story of wiring a waitlist to an isolated Supabase table with RLS, so the signups actually arrive.
SEO Is a Byproduct of Architecture
You already use AI to generate marketing pages. The problem is rarely the copy — it is the structure. Refusing to invent a marketing taxonomy and letting the product architecture define the sitemap was the fastest SEO win on this site.
The Dictionary That Fixed Translation
If your AI output is inconsistent, the reflex is to blame the model. Most of the time it is not the model. It is the missing glossary — the contract between your product and the language you are generating. The story of turning a failed translation pass into a living dictionary.
RTL at the Design-System Level
If you serve Persian speakers — or any second language — i18n is a system problem, not a string problem. Fonts, direction, spacing, icons, and tokens all change. The story of making RTL the default, not the exception.
DeepSeek V4 Official Launch: Everything We Know About the Real V4 in July
DeepSeek V4 official stable launch confirmed for mid-July 2026. Peak-valley pricing, DSpark 85% speed boost, legacy API retirement July 24. Full breakdown.
DeepSeek V4: The Model That Rewrote the AI Price War — Full Breakdown
DeepSeek V4 rewrites AI economics: $0.14/M input tokens, 1M context default, MIT-licensed open weights, 3206 Codeforces rating. Full benchmark comparison vs GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.7.
The Migration Audit
If you generate code with AI, you already know the shape of this story: the thing that compiles is not the thing that works. Migrating from Jekyll to Astro was easy. Knowing what the migration broke was the real work — 45 pages, one green build, two real audits.
The AI War Is Not About Free Models. It Is About Collapsing the Price of Intelligence
The real AI war is not OpenAI vs DeepSeek or closed vs open source. It is the U.S. premium cloud meter against China's attempt to collapse the price of intelligence.
Tokens Per Sheep: The AI Metric Nobody Asked For
OpenCode Go users in New Zealand used 40.9B tokens last week. That is 1,734 tokens per sheep. We did the math nobody asked for.
Is GLM-5.2 Cheaper Than the Frontier?
A working breakdown of LLM API pricing across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Z.ai, at every reasoning effort. Where the popular claim breaks down, where it could technically be true, and what the data says about intelligence.
Why Every Technical Founder Needs a Content Pipeline, Not a Content Strategy
Content strategy is the wrong abstraction for builders. You don't need a plan. You need a system that turns building into publishing.
