Keeping my craft — and using AI as an amplifier.
I'm Rob. I keep my craft and use AI to amplify it, not replace it — and I write about doing that in public: the building, the tradeoffs, and what actually holds up.
The Bellows is a notebook for builders who want better tools without surrendering the work. AI can compress loops, widen reach, and make rough ideas testable sooner.
The standard is still craft: taste, ownership, judgment, and the patience to make the thing hold up when the novelty wears off.
