Ai

I went from a fragmented Franken-System of incompatible tools to a cognitive prosthetic I couldn’t afford to one AI that knows me, doesn’t break my budget, and meets me where my brain actually is. This is the story of building a digital nervous system because the physical world’s infrastructure doesn’t work for mine.

A personal update on why I am moving away from the backend developer path, what Boot.dev did teach me, and what I want to build next with accessibility and sustainability in mind.

Being seen as highly verbal and good at writing made people assume language was easy for me. It wasn’t. This piece is about the hidden labor behind producing words, the harm that assumption caused, and why AI can be language access rather than thought replacement.

Text-first and keyboard-first interfaces aren’t outdated for many multiply disabled users. They’re access. This post argues for terminal-like transparency, desktop-like discoverability, and AI that can turn messy intent into action.

Autonomous agents promise to be powerful assistive tools for disabled people, but their usage-based token models can quickly become financially unsustainable for those on fixed incomes. This article explores the “context window tax” that arises from the architecture of these systems and discusses the trade-offs of shifting to flat-rate consumer subscriptions as a more predictable alternative.

A personal look at how AI tools serve as a cognitive prosthetic for a multiply disabled user who relies on a custom stack of Pieces, Supermemory, Hermes Agent, and GitHub Copilot to function at baseline.

When you’re multiply disabled, conservative Christian, and an AI enthusiast, every community rejects part of your identity. No single space accepts the whole stack, so I’m building the infrastructure myself.
