Three months ago, I couldn't have built this tool.
Today, it's running.
Not because I suddenly got better – but because the technology has finally caught up.
Six weeks ago, I mentioned in a conversation that I wanted to build a specific tool. Today, it's done – with AI, in a fraction of the time it would have taken me before.
It's a small agentic framework for software development. Multiple AI agents take on different roles – architecture, implementation, testing, and code review – working together in an orchestrated development process.
The crazy part?
I already know today that I'll probably rebuild it completely in eight weeks.
Not because it's bad. But because the possibilities will have advanced so much by then that today's version will already be outdated.
After more than 25 years in IT consulting, I'm experiencing an acceleration that I've never seen before in this industry.
What used to take weeks now takes days. What used to require entire teams can now be prototyped by a single person.
And the most important lesson from all of this:
The value of a solution no longer lies in how long it lasts. It lies in how quickly it was built – and how easily it can be replaced.
Anyone who clings to existing solutions because they "still work" will lose ground. Not because of lacking competence, but because of a lacking willingness to constantly recalibrate.
The advantage doesn't lie in yesterday's knowledge. It lies in the speed at which you learn today.
