Status Trace exists because of AI, and it's why I feel less connected to it than to anything else I've built. What I miss isn't in the code. It's the doing: the difference between making a thing exist and authoring its structure well enough that it reads as an extension of how I think.

I built a status page product because I didn't want to keep paying for one. That's true, but it isn't quite honest. Introducing Status Trace, and the experiment of putting a product on sidewrks.

I used to think the interesting question about AI and building was about other people. Then I noticed the line between technical and non-technical builders had quietly moved through my own work.

I've spent months writing about a room that doesn't exist: somewhere to put half-built work in front of people who'll actually look. The absence was the instruction. So I'm starting one.

AI made shipping side projects genuinely easier. The bottleneck has moved to exposure, and that's the part you can't easily do alone.
