Freebies
Take the tactics
Free things you can use today: the tactics I lean on most, the open tooling behind how I build, and small tools that do one useful thing well. No signup wall in the way.
01 / Tactics
Tactics
Short, do-it-now moves I lean on. Read one, use it the same day.

Harness repos
The open tooling behind how I build. Public repos you can clone, read, and make your own.

Tools
Small utilities that do one useful thing well, free and no signup wall.
The Free AI Assessment
Tell me about a role or workflow and I estimate what automating it could be worth, using public wage data and cited benchmarks, without ever needing your internal financials. Always labeled as an estimate.
