The newsletter
One short essay
on AI that actually
cuts hours.
Tuesday mornings. Five minutes. One workflow we automated last week, with the runbook and the receipts. No "AI strategy" abstractions, no recycled hot takes.

What you'll get
Concrete, specific, useful.
Every Tuesday. Built around one workflow we just shipped or one we just killed. If a week doesn't have a real story, we don't send.
One workflow per issue
Named, scoped, measurable. The team that was running it manually, the cut we made, the runbook we wrote, the hours we saved.
The runbook, not the take
If we can't share the runbook, we don't share the issue. Less "here's how to think about AI" — more "here's the prompt, the validation, the rollback."
The wins AND the misses
When a cut didn't stick (the team reverted, the model drifted, the integration broke), we write that one up too. Failures teach faster.
Operator-first, not vendor-first
Written for the person who has to live with the workflow, not the person who is selling them a tool. No affiliate links. No sponsored issues.
Cadence
Weekly, ~5 minutes.
Tuesday mornings, US time. Around 800 words. If a week has nothing real to ship, we skip — never filler. You can unsubscribe from the footer of any issue in one click; no "are you sure" dance.
Recent issues
A taste of the last few weeks.
Each issue lives at `/newsletter/{slug}` — same domain, same rules, no email gate to read past issues.

Written by
A small team that ships every week.
Bylines you can click. The same operators teaching the course and running the builds — when we write about a workflow, we ran the workflow.
