LOGBOOK — VOL.01ENTRY 2026-07-11 · MANILA, PH

AI-powered dev at an AI startup · TCG player · writing it all down

Learning tech in the time of AI. with receipts.

I build with AI all day, study DevOps at night, and write down what actually happens: builds, costs, conventions, card pulls, what broke. I ran an agency, learned exactly what kills them, and shut it down. This logbook is what I'm building instead.
