Hello! - I'm Mikkel: AI enthusiast, hacker, coder and part-time drone pilot. I share some of my thoughts and ideas here, hope you enjoy!

Working with OpenSpec: the two-thirds roast

How a single idea travels through my OpenSpec workflow, from a half-formed thought to an archived, spec-backed change, and why I let the spec capture the why so nobody ends up cooking two-thirds roasts for no reason.

OpenSpec: the missing LEGO manual

Stop re-prompting your AI in circles. OpenSpec turns ad-hoc prompting into a spec-first workflow, with a live demo built end-to-end through the same four commands.

Cognitive Autonomy Index: a walkthrough

A walkthrough of every section of the CAI framework - the four operational stages, the utility ceiling, the score, and how to right-level autonomy in your own business.

AI-assisted SDLC: the Inception method

A data-driven look at where AI actually speeds up a multi-team enterprise cross-platform feature in 2026, where it does not, and the Inception method - implanting the idea as working code first, then building the SDLC dream around it.

Service as Software: Finding the pivot is an art

How a year-3 art contest taught me to ditch sunk costs - and how seven SaaS giants are doing the same right now in the shift from Software as a Service to Service as a Software.

AI capability limits: riding my bike with no handlebars

Every kid on my street could ride no-handed. Every worker can now do "amazing" things with AI. Here is what Anthropic's Economic Index actually measures - and whose job it moves first.

Right-level your AI: The Mrs. Jensen's pug problem

Why counting AI licenses measures adoption but not value, and how the Cognitive Autonomy Index gives enterprises the structural control they need.

Harnessing the vibes

Why vibe coding is not suitable for production and how Harness Engineering gives AI a pocket timetable-orchestration, phase gates, and structured agent harnesses.

Telstra 5G modem 2 wifi: VN Commodore-level security

How a design flaw in the Telstra 5G Modem 2 allows attackers to compromise Wi‑Fi passwords in seconds using a WPS Pixie Dust attack - and why the "fix" hasn't actually fixed the underlying problem.

All you need is context

Why AI coding assistants need context-and how to give it to them, inspired by Memento.
