People still message me asking if the 7 Andrew Ng courses I recommended in 2023 are the right path today. Short answer: most of them, yes, but with a different roadmap around them. Here is my 2026 update, with per-course verdicts and a forked path for builders and operators.

The Code Was the Easy Part of Shipping Prova
Prova started feeling real to me when the product began making real promises about progression, billing, auth, and state. The hard part was not generating code. It was building the contracts around it.

What Agencies Actually Need From AI Is Not More Content
I keep seeing AI tools pitch agencies on content volume. But if you've ever managed real client relationships, you know the harder problem is trust: isolation, permissions, context, and not leaking one client's thinking into another's.

I Tried to Clip My Course into a YouTube Video. Here's Why I Rebuilt It Instead.
I thought I could splice together one course module, trim a few transitions, and call it a YouTube video. I was wrong. Building The Parade Problem taught me that good repurposing is not clipping. It is redesigning the idea for a different promise, a different audience, and a different first 30 seconds.

Why I Cancelled Claude Max After 13 Months and What I’m Testing with Codex Next
I cancelled Claude Max after 13 months and US$1,892.38 in subscription fees. This is not a victory lap. It is a 30-day test to see whether I can keep shipping STRATUM, DIALOGUE, my course platform, and this site at the same pace with Codex as my primary tool.

I'm Dropping My $200 Claude Code Plan After Two Weeks with Codex
Two weeks after my original comparison, both tools shipped major updates. Codex challenged my product strategy in ways Claude Code did not. Claude Code shipped Agent Teams and AutoMemory. The result: I am cutting my $200/month Max plan — and getting better output for less money.

What Roles an AI-Native Marketing Team Actually Needs in 2026
Most conversations about AI and team design start with headcount. I think that is the wrong starting point. The better question is which functions your team needs — and those turn out to be the same whether you have four people or forty.

What Shipping DIALOGUE Taught Me About Multilingual AI Products
DIALØGUE supports 7 languages, but the real multilingual work was not translating strings. It was fixing audience-local dates, TTS consistency, UI language drift, and deciding where quality mattered enough to slow down.

Why Most AI Marketing Tools Feel Fast but Weaken Team Judgment
I spent years in advertising watching teams confuse motion with progress. Then I started building AI marketing tools and realized the problem was getting worse: faster execution, weaker judgment.

What AI Still Gets Wrong in Media Operations Without Senior Judgment
AI can now produce media plans, performance summaries, measurement frameworks, and campaign setups at impressive speed. The problem is not that the output is obviously bad. The problem is that it is often good enough to pass a casual review while missing the business context that actually matters.

Why AI Memory Matters More Than Model Choice for Marketing Teams
Most teams still ask which model to use. From my experience, that is no longer the main question. If your AI system forgets the client or the brand, the category, and what good looks like, the smartest model in the world still starts every conversation from zero.
