The pilot that never ends

Why so many AI projects stall at the proof of concept, and what the successful ones did differently on day one.

This is a placeholder essay so the Writing section has something to render. Replace or delete it. To add a real one, drop a new Markdown file in src/content/essays/ with title, description and date in the frontmatter.

What the format supports

Headings, lists, bold, links and blockquotes all carry the site’s styling automatically, because the page wraps the rendered Markdown in the .prose class.

A pilot that cannot fail is not a pilot. It is a demonstration, and a demonstration tells you nothing you did not already believe.

Nothing else is needed. The essay appears on the Writing index automatically, sorted by date, and gets its own page at /writing/<filename>/.
