## Published blog posts
- [Using Jev to make AI slop a little less sloppy](https://jonlamb.co/blog/using-jev-to-make-ai-slop-a-little-less-sloppy): I tried using Jev to check whether an old proof of concept followed its own rules. Here’s one bug it caught, how we found it, and the skills you can try yourself.
- [Before Hiring a Second Developer, I’d Ask to Use the App](https://jonlamb.co/blog/i-know-who-id-hire-for-my-next-software-project): AI makes it more practical for the person who understands the work to also own the application. That changes who I’d hire—and when I’d add a second developer.
- [It works when I’m not working](https://jonlamb.co/blog/it-works-when-im-not-working): A Bake Off website became a test of something I want more of from AI: a project that keeps moving after I’ve stopped thinking about it.
- [Mendix Is the Platonic Ideal of Vibe Coding](https://jonlamb.co/blog/mendix-platonic-ideal-of-vibe-coding): AI can build software from English. Mendix gives us a visual model for understanding and checking what it built.
- [You Really Think the Biggest Technological Breakthrough in Human History Won't Create a Bubble?](https://jonlamb.co/blog/biggest-breakthrough-bubble): The technology is real. The future is bright. And there just ain't no way the stock market handles it rationally.

AI didn't just make building faster — it collapsed the distance between builder and user, and ended the era of 'say no, ship the compromise.'
