Technology. Business. The human bit in between.

Independent writing · Est. 2026
A publication for curious minds

A few better questions.
A little less noise.

AI, technology, business, and the systems we quietly accept. Notes from the place where “that’s just how it works” stops being a good enough answer.

Independent. Open. Unreasonably curious.

Welcome to the mountain
A healthy suspicion
of the obvious.
A woman with a laptop on a mountain of yellow sticky notes, each asking a better question.

The first notes are on their way.

The reading room

Essays worth sitting with. Lessons worth using. A place for the questions that don’t fit neatly on a sticky note.

Small lessons. Better instincts.

Daily
AI Lessons.

Beyond the prompt. A practical look at how AI systems work, where they break, and what better design looks like.

The useful bit

Understand the system.
Ask a better question.

Short, practical lessons for people who want to understand the technology, the trade-offs and the work behind the promise.

Hello from somewhere up here.

A mountain of notes.
A healthy suspicion
of “that’s just how it works”.

Independent writing about AI, business and the systems we live with. The interesting bit is usually where the neat explanation stops working.

The thinking behind the notes
A few things we believe

Curiosity over certainty.
Evidence over theatre.
Useful over impressive.
Always, the human bit.

Sometimes a question becomes a tool.
That’s where From My Backpack comes in.
A note from the mountain
