About ctrl+build

We're in a new era. LLMs haven't just sped things up—they've changed what it means to build. The old rules don't apply, and the new ones are still being written.

ctrl+build is my way of figuring it out in real time. I don't have all the answers, but I'm experimenting, reflecting, and sharing what I learn as I go.

If you care about where tech is going, how AI is reshaping the way we work, or what it means to be a builder in this new world, you're in the right place.

It's time to build.

Who's writing this?

I'm David. I spent years writing code, then left to build my own thing. It found traction, but somewhere along the way, I burned out.

For a while, I wasn't sure if I even wanted to build anymore. But something changed. I picked up new tools. I found a new rhythm. I remembered why I loved this in the first place.

Now I'm building again—and having a damn good time doing it.

ctrl+build is where I'm documenting that journey.
