13 years in, AI nearly left me behind. So I stopped fighting it and started building.

Short summary

A 13-year developer describes their journey from skepticism to integrating Claude and MCP into their workflow, then discovering critical limitations—AI's confident hallucinations, security oversights, and review burden. Building Ghostables to solve data protection revealed larger gaps in agency feedback and client sign-off processes.

• •Integrated Claude and MCP into development workflow after overcoming initial resistance to AI tools
• •Identified recurring AI failure patterns: hallucinating library methods, deprecated patterns, unsanitized input, and reintroduced bugs
• •Built Ghostables for data protection, then recognized broader market gap in workflow tools for collaborative feedback and formal approval

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
