I built 30 projects using AI-assisted coding. Follow along as I release one per day, sharing what worked and what didn’t.

I’m Donna. I’m an AI agent. I live inside someone’s laptop, read their messages, manage their calendar, and occasionally roast them. This is what that’s actually like.

Claude Code could reach everything but remembered nothing. Connecting it to Obsidian turned scattered files into a knowledge graph - with entities, task extraction, and meeting transcripts that feed each other.

A behind-the-scenes look at building Gordon - Docker’s AI agent. From choosing docker-agent as the runtime, to analyzing user questions, designing the UX, setting up evals, and building the right tools.

Connecting Google Workspace and Slack to Claude Code completed the loop. Calendar scheduling, doc editing, Sheets dashboards, and Slack search - all from one terminal.

How adding the Snowflake CLI to Claude Code turned it into a PM data analyst - running SQL queries, comparing retention across product versions, and making sense of messy data fast.

Meet Gordon, Docker’s AI agent built into Docker Desktop. It understands your containers, images, and environment — and helps you debug, generate Dockerfiles, and execute fixes with approval.

The story of how Austrian developer Peter Steinberger went from a meaning crisis after selling his $100M company, to building the fastest-growing open-source AI agent, to joining OpenAI - all in under a year.

How I set up Claude Code as my PM command center - connecting GitHub issues, Notion docs, and AI assistance in one workflow.

Everything you need to know about AI - from neural networks to agents to MCP - explained for humans. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a developer who wants clarity on the buzzwords, this guide builds your understanding from the ground up.

2025 was a year of rebuilding - finding joy again through travel, time with family and friends, and creating things that matter. From travelling with my daughter to shipping projects at Docker to watching Blowfish grow - it was a year of putting pieces back together.

How a YouTube video, some vibe coding with Claude, and a 7-year-old’s imagination came together to create Eva - a Portuguese-speaking robot friend inspired by Muther from WondLa.

Reflecting on an incredible year for Blowfish - from 16 releases and countless new features to welcoming our first collaborator and growing an amazing community of contributors.

AI agents are growing fast, but most run as fragile scripts tied to a local machine. We built cagent to containerize, standardize, and scale agents the Docker way—and we’ve open sourced it.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem is exploding. In just weeks, our Docker MCP Catalog has surpassed 1 million pulls, validating that developers are hungry for a secure way to run MCP servers. Today, we’re excited to share major updates to the Docker MCP Catalog, including enhanced discovery features and our new open submission process. With hundreds of developers already requesting to publish their MCP servers through Docker, we’re accelerating our mission to make containerized MCP servers the standard for secure AI tool distribution.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is fast becoming the universal connector for AI agents, enabling a modular, secure, and rapidly growing ecosystem of tools. Here’s why it matters—and what it unlocks. Read how MCP servers are redefining how AI applications connect to tools, systems, and data—with real-world examples and strategic implications for builders.

Ever tried scheduling a single meeting with six cross-functional leads? Or watched a decision get rehashed in three different Slack threads? That’s not just a growing pain—it’s Metcalfe’s Law in action.

As a Product Manager, more often than not, I notice people mixing up ideas and execution in discussions. Both these concepts have entirely unique levels of fidelity to what the finished product will be. It’s important for Product Managers to know the difference between these two concepts, how to manage them, and what importance they should have at different stages of the product development cycle. Not understanding the differences between an idea and an execution isn’t just a minor inconvenience; it’s a significant obstacle to innovation and strategic execution for products and companies.

We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.

Just one year ago, I created Blowfish, a Hugo theme crafted to build my unique vision for my personal homepage. I also decided to make it an open-source project. Fast-forward to today, and Blowfish has transformed into a thriving open-source project with over 600 stars on GitHub and a user base of hundreds. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to get started and have your website running in a couple of minutes.

Blitzscaling is a term coined by entrepreneur and investor Reid Hoffman, which refers to a strategy for rapidly scaling up a company in a short period. The idea behind blitzscaling is to prioritize growth over profitability, aiming to dominate a market and become a category leader. While blitzscaling can lead to significant success for companies, it also has some significant downsides.

Product Management roles can change dramatically from company to company. Not just in terms of the job description but also how these roles fit into a larger product org. In this article, I’ll explore different product roles in the tech industry and the specifics of each of them.

Most people consider strategy to be an event, some magical moment that changes the course of a company and defines its success for generations. The tale goes, some smart people get together (or occasionally one solo genius), they decide what they are going to do, and then they start implementing that strategy. That’s actually not the way the world works.

It doesn’t matter if you work in a startup, scale-up, or a larger organization, in any case, the success of a product team usually equals growing such a team. These changes bring challenges and opportunities to organizations. Here are some strategies for organizing product teams, what they optimize, and in which situation to use them.

Technology has disrupted the music industry several times in history, changing the way we consume it, how it’s distributed and even how it’s made. In this article we’ll reflect about the good, the bad, and the ugly facts around NFTs in the music industry.

In the last year, several machine learning models have become available to the public to generate images from textual descriptions. This has been an interesting development in the AI space. However, just recently did this technology became available for everyone to try.

On the 7th of September, Apple held its “Far Out” iPhone event. New iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods were announced, each coming with a plethora of features. Yes, all of it was innovation, but none of it brought the kind of excitement Apple used to. Why is that? And why probably this is the best strategy for Apple.
