What shapes the filter.

A slow-growing list. What I'm reading, who I'm learning from, tools I actually use. Curated, not comprehensive.

book

The Great CEO Within

Matt Mochary

Operator's manual. Not theory, just working procedures. I read it with a pen.

book

Seeing Like a State

James C. Scott

On legibility, and what centralized systems lose when they force messy reality into clean categories. Useful for operators who think they can systematize everything.

essay

Claude Code

Anthropic

Pair-programming partner and research assistant. Where a lot of the factory lives.

tool

Remotion

Jonny Burger

React for videos. The core of my video factory. If you can write a component you can render a short.

tool

ElevenLabs

Voice synthesis that crossed the uncanny valley for my use cases. The /output podcast runs on it.

tool

Cloudflare Pages

Where most of my static sites live. Fast, generous, opinionated in the right places.

tool

Next.js

The default. Static export mode is the part I actually lean on.
