About The Lab
This is a side project I've created as a platform to teach myself new tricks... while at the same letting me build exactly the apps I want on my phone.
AI has enabled the mass customization concept Stan Davis wrote about in 2001. Only now it's software, and we have generative AI. It's a fascinating time to be alive.
