Wondering About AI

About Karen Spinner

I build with AI and tell you exactly what happens.

Since I started building with AI, I’ve been continuously surprised, both by how good it can be and how far it has to go. The wins can be huge…but so can the bugs.

Over the past year, I’ve shipped Chrome extensions, run machine learning experiments on 39,000+ newsletter articles, started two SaaS (and closed one), and continued to learn Python and JavaScript, although I use Claude Code for most of the heavy lifting.

Some of it works, and some of it fails spectacularly. I document all of it honestly and with plenty of technical detail.
