Bottom-up estimation assumes you can enumerate the tasks. AI projects break that assumption. How I price the loop instead of the line — and what belongs on page 23.

374 commits, 142 days, one developer, two app stores. What the git log actually says about AI-assisted development, once I stopped counting commits.

Notes on talking clients out of AI, and why deterministic logic still wins in regulated domains.
