I build stuff to learn. I teach stuff to learn. And I keep testing whether what I’ve learned actually makes sense — to others, and to the problems I’m trying to solve. I have learned a lot in these past few weeks. I’ve also felt a huge rise in passion. Which has led to strong convictions about what’s right and wrong. And sometimes even real anger. One unfortunate side-effect of all this passion and learning is that I’ve also become increasingly arrogant. I think and act as if everyone else is stupid and just doesn’t get it. Even if — and that’s a pretty big if — I am right, and within this particular narrow domain others are wrong, the arrogance doesn’t help. I don’t become wiser by looking down on people. Yes, I have learned a lot. But mostly I’ve learned how little I know and how much more there is to learn. So my goal this week has been to do fewer experiments, write less code, build less stuff — and mainly try to adjust my attitude to match my actual ignorance. To show up with the strong conviction that I primarily need to stay open and keep learning. This, I think, is one of the more human effects of diving deep into tools like these. Yesterday I managed this until around noon. Tomorrow I will try again. With love —Mathias p.s. yes, I’m still teaching people 1:1 and when I’m teaching I’m not so arrogant so if you want to get started with vibe coding, but feel that it’s too daunting to do it alone, I can be your non-arrogant support.

View this post on the web at https://thnkclrly.substack.com/p/i-forgot-to-mention-the-risk Hello Amazing It’s been a little more than a week since I helped my first three guinea pigs get going with AI and coding. Part of me was hoping they would get stuck more, so I could learn from their challenges. But honestly? They’re just steaming ahead. And I can’t stop smiling about it. One of them sent me this message out of nowhere: “Wohoooooo!” She is on day 10 since the kick-off. She said she couldn’t stop. I admitted I’d forgotten to mention that risk—that once you get going it’s suddenly past midnight, and even when you go to bed you just lie there thinking about what you could build next. She replied: “You really could have mentioned that... it’s completely out of control now — I’m building a landing page for the two facilitation tools I’ve already built. And I’ve committed code to GitHub. It’s a slippery slope.” The second one is on day 3. He is building a wine database that reads a 100-page wine list and finds which restaurants serve the exact bottle you love. His verdict: “I often got disappointed when a regular chatbot had to do something complex. I’m not disappointed here.” And the third one is only on day 2. She is building a full client management system for her Ayurveda practice. She told me she had just added multi-factor authentication yesterday because she wanted to protect her clients’ data. Nobody told her to. Her verdict: “I’m having fun with this.” Normal people building real stuff that matter to them. Not stopping at midnight. I want to help people do more of this. If you’ve been curious but haven’t known where to start—or if you’ve started and hit a wall—just hit reply. I’m still tweaking the offering so it doesn’t have to be a “3 week build sprint” as I said initially—if you want to do this we find a way to make it work.

Hello Amazing I never liked reporting taxes. There’s something about it that just always makes me super stressed and scared about doing something wrong. I started my first business when I was 17, and the first few years I tried to do it all by myself until I got audited. Then I hired an accountant to help, and I have never looked back. It’s one of the few bills that, despite the significant cost, I actually enjoy paying. The accountant takes a lot of the stress out, but I still need to supply the right material for them to report. Every year I spend about two to three months agonizing, followed by about 60 to 90 minutes of focused effort just gathering what’s needed. My tax woes are compounded by the fact that I’m a dual citizen, reporting taxes in both Denmark and the US, which have wildly different rules. In the end, it always works out. One thing I haven’t paid much attention to before, though, is income related to investments. Historically, I just had a small portfolio in Denmark and a small one in the US, so I used whatever numbers my banks gave me and reported that. But that’s not really how it should be done. There are different types of gains, and they are calculated, reported, and taxed differently in each country. Recently, I’ve managed to save up and invest more, so the problem is becoming more of a headache, and the impact of an error is growing. But cross-border investment taxes are so hard to figure out that I had essentially given up on it long ago. I mostly just hoped it would go away. What hit me hard was when I was exploring a very simple, passive investment strategy: buying an index-based fund. While researching it, the AI flagged something terrifying—doing this as a US expat would subject me to so-called PFIC reporting in the US. I looked it up. The reporting requirements are so complex that many US tax accountants simply refuse to handle it, and the penalties for doing it wrong are severe. My head exploded. Imploded, actually. If I had just bought that fund to simplify my life, I could have turned my tax reporting into a full-blown Kafka nightmare next year. But I also got curious: could the AI help me understand these reporting rules, and how should I adjust my strategy to avoid the worst nightmares? As I learned, it got clearer to me that I needed to tackle this for real. Thankfully, my new AI coding experience came in handy. I realized I didn’t have to learn the rules from scratch and then code a tool based on my flawed understanding. I just had to realize that the AI agent already understood the rules. My job was just to help shape the kind of product that would solve my specific challenges. So now, I have a small little script that can eat the trading exports from my three banks and compile them into a single master ledger with the right foreign exchange rates and dates. From that, it calculates the correct numbers for both my Danish and US taxes. Next, I will build a feature that outputs exactly how it arrived at those numbers so that my accountants in each country can easily audit and verify that it was done correctly. When I read my own description of this whole process, it sounds so easy. And kind of fun, also. Which it was. I didn’t spend two to three months dreading this. I jumped in. Sure, I worry if I can get it up and running again next year, or if the rules will have already changed so much. It’s not like there’s a guarantee that everything will be smooth sailing from here. But what’s so crazy to me, and what I really want to pause and recognize, is this: two weeks ago, this was a problem so cumbersome that I had effectively given up on ever solving it right. And with AI and some curiosity, that same problem just vanished. Problems I had quietly filed under “never” are suddenly just... Tuesday. With love, —Mathias P.S.

I started writing in notebooks around 2005 mostly because it seemed “cool.” My handwriting was bad. Really bad. So illegible that I could rarely read it myself. For years, I did practically all my work on a laptop. But by 2010, I was getting fed up with screens. I was constantly multi-tasking, feeling like a day could fly by and leave me with no idea what I had actually done, other than stare at a glowing rectangle. Then, my friend Stine taught me how to write legibly. Not beautifully, just legibly. And my brain exploded. Suddenly, I began working through my ideas by writing and drawing on physical pages. Unlike a screen, all the traces remained. By the end of the day, I could look at the physical byproduct of my thinking. Since then, I have filled more than a hundred notebooks. Currently, they are stacked mostly on top of our closet. Over the years, people have often suggested I digitize them. But to me, having a hard drive full of thousands of JPEGs felt pointless. Browsing a folder on a Mac is infinitely less joyful than pulling an old A4 notebook off a shelf and delighting in the context—remembering exactly where I was, geographically and emotionally, when I drew a certain diagram. As a former software developer, I occasionally daydreamed about building a truly interactive, searchable library of my mind. A tool that could find visual and textual themes and trace the genealogy of my ideas over a decade. But the math never worked. A photo isn’t enough. To make the archive searchable, each page would need to be accurately transcribed. Every drawing would need to be described, and its meaning interpreted in relation to the text. I estimated it would take 10 to 30 minutes to manually process a single page. One single notebook could easily be a month’s worth of full-time work. Digitizing 114 of them was impossible. The AI Unlock Recently, I discovered that visual AI models have gotten terrifyingly good at reading my handwriting and understanding my drawings. I started by feeding pages of my handwritten newsletters to ChatGPT. It did a great job transcribing the text and interpreting the illustrations, but doing it manually was incredibly clunky. It would randomly run out of memory and just start hallucinating interpretations. Through lots of manual checking and retries, I managed to plow my way through the stack of newsletters. But this would never work for a full notebook. Everything changed when I discovered that AI coding agents could write custom software for me. So I built a tool that bypasses the chat window entirely and feeds my photos directly into Google’s Gemini API. I was hesitant at first because API calls cost money. If I had to pay $1 in cloud processing fees for each page, this project would bankrupt me. So, I had my AI coding agents build a testing tool to compare different models and find the cheapest one that still gave me accurate results. Here is the crazy part. To get perfect transcriptions and visual interpretations of my messy, complex notebook pages, I had to use one of the most advanced models available. Do you know what it costs to process one page? $0.01. A task that would take a human 30 minutes to do well now costs a single penny and takes seconds. Even if you value a human’s time at just $10 an hour, that is a 50,000% productivity boost. The impossible math was suddenly possible. The Assembly Line Now, the only bottleneck was getting the photos taken. For this, I did what any enterprising father would do: I hired my kids. This past weekend, all three kids were engaged in an assembly line, using the “Scan Document” feature in the iOS Files app. They managed to capture 11 books in about six hours (combined). The best part wasn’t the efficiency; it was giving them a chance to peek inside what their dad has been doing for the past 16 years. My son, who loves Etsy, was thrilled to discover a page from 2017 when I did client work for them. My daughter loved pausing to look at the old illustrations. What Happens Next I am still feeding the archive to the AI. I haven’t reached the finish line yet. I am excited, and honestly a bit nervous, to see if it really works the way I envision. But even if it stumbles, the process alone has been worth it. I am learning so much by building it. I don’t fully know how this will change my relationship with my past self. But my hope is that it will bring dead ideas back to life. I want to be able to ask a question today and have the AI answer me using only my own thoughts from the past decades. I want to trace the invisible threads between who I was and who I am. (And on a commercial note, if this works, I can imagine opening parts of this archive up for public inquiry, or even selling print-on-demand reproductions of the coolest pages). With love —Mathias P.s.: a quick update on the 1:1 Sprints In my last email [ https://substack.com/@thnkclrly/note/p-189803637?r=2dhof&utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web ], I mentioned I was looking for 2 or 3 people to beta-test what I called a “Co-Pilot” sprint with me. (I realized about five minutes after hitting send that Microsoft practically owns the word Copilot by now, which is confusing. Let’s just call it a 1:1 Guided Build instead!). I was honestly a bit nervous to hit send on that, but the response was amazing, and two of those spots were snapped up almost immediately. (Thank you to those who reached out—I’m so excited to get to work). That means I currently have one spot left for this first experimental round. If turning a stack of dusty notebooks into a living, searchable “second brain” is the exact project you want to tackle, we can build it together. You bring the notebooks; I’ll bring the scaffolding, and we will build an AI workflow that fits with your content and what you want to do with it. If you want this last spot, just hit reply to this email and say “Archive.” And please, no stress—if you want to do this but the timing is bad, or if the last spot gets taken today, don’t worry. I just need to run this beta first to see how much bandwidth it actually requires alongside my day job and my kids. As soon as I figure out my capacity, my plan is to open up more seats. p.p.s. in case you missed it, I also built a small but usable digital version of my card decks. It’s still a beta, but feel free to give it a try.

View this post on the web at https://thnkclrly.substack.com/p/think-clearly-989-nothing-happens Mathias is a writer who normally writes about writing as a way of living but right now he is entirely consumed with AI. Hello Amazing! I first met Dave Gray in London back in 2012. After a meeting where we both initially misread each other, we ended up standing on the street with no plans, so we just wandered around the city and kept talking all the way through dinner. I’ve learned a lot from Dave since then. But one of the most important things he ever taught me is a quote he picked up from a guy named Randy Root back in the 90s: “Nothing happens until somebody sells something.” The idea is simple: a product, a technology, or a method can be absolute magic. But no matter how good it is, it just sits there in the abstract until somebody actually decides to package it, offer it, and sell it. I feel like this is where we are with AI right now. Over the last few weeks, I have been frantically building all sorts of new tools with AI coding agents. At first, I had it write a simple Python script. It took mere seconds, and the code was better than anything I could have written on my own. But the “whoa” moment—the moment that changed everything for me—happened a few days later. I realized I was no longer looking at code. I was running multiple AI agents in parallel. I was just reviewing their implementation plans, discussing roadmaps, refining ideas, and asking the agents questions about their technical choices. It is magical. And it’s completely accessible. I’ve excitedly told a handful of friends about this. They ask great questions. I encourage them to just open the tools and try it for themselves. But they never do. It’s not that they don’t see the point. They just don’t start. I suspect I know why. For decades, coding has intimidated us. It is incredibly hard to suddenly believe that the difficulty is just... gone. People expect there to be a catch, a wall of friction they aren’t prepared for. Plus, to really get the magic of this, you can’t just “dabble.” You need a specific project to build. And picking that project requires a bit of courage. So, I’m thinking about Dave Gray. I could keep building these tools in private. But this stuff is too interesting not to share, and more importantly, it’s too interesting not to DO together. Right now, I am only learning from my own mistakes. If I want to learn faster, I need to learn from your mistakes, your stumbling blocks, and your brilliant ideas. To do that, I need to raise the stakes. I need to test the market. I need to sell something. So, over the next few weeks, I’m going to offer a handful of 1:1 “Co-Pilot Sprints.” I want to be completely honest with you: you really don’t need me for this. I have no secret wisdom. At best, I am exactly 1.5 weeks ahead of you on the learning curve. If you want someone to guide you step-by-step, you can ask ChatGPT and it will do it brilliantly. But I also know that sometimes we don’t buy things because we need them; we buy them because we want the experience. We want the momentum. We want someone to sit next to us so we don’t have to stare at the blank screen alone. If you don’t need me, but you want me to come along as your co-pilot while you build your first AI tool, I would love to do that. In my next emails, I will lay out the specific tools I’ve been building, that I think you will also find both useful and enjoyable to build. Between my job and family, I’ll probably only have the bandwidth to take on 2-3 people for this beta test. If you already know you want to be one of those guinea pigs, just hit reply and let me know. I’ll send you the details first.

View this post on the web at https://thnkclrly.substack.com/p/think-clearly-988-its-not-vibe-coding Hello Amazing!  Last week I shared the nauseous feeling of getting into vibe coding [ https://substack.com/redirect/a3afc8c9-546e-4a0c-b53a-bf6901e8f564?j=eyJ1IjoiNzRiZXZxIn0.26TDO4Ygo5l69NnkPzr2Ax0IIjv-K5IWcmNJKcK8PLY ] and suddenly being able to build incredible things. My head is still spinning. I bought a new laptop just to have a better coding setup and more computing power. I stay up too late making stuff and then I can’t sleep because my brain is overloaded with dopamine. It’s tiring and exciting. New ideas keep coming, but it’s all over the place. I’m grasping for air. If the agent does it all, what is it really that I’m doing? What is work? Sure, I can build a lot of cool things now. But so can everyone else, so why should I build it? More and more questions keep coming up.  But I’ve built seven different projects now, and in the swirl, I’ve found two things that feel stable. Two things I’m clinging to. 1. It’s not “Vibe Coding.” It’s “Want Coding.” I don’t like the term “vibe coding” because it makes it sound like an aesthetic. In my experience, this is actually about wanting. My job is to want something. And only when I get what I want, in the quality that I want, am I satisfied and ready to move on to the next want. My actual job is to judge the quality: when is it good enough? I have no qualifications to judge the code itself. But as the user, I judge the outcome. Here’s what I’ve been wanting, and what I’ve built so far: A visual notes transcriber: System 1 could transcribe text, but not my sketches. Not good enough. System 2 did both, but flopped half the time. System 3 works perfectly. It costs me about $0.01 per page in cloud costs. The agent can help me switch clouds to make it cheaper or more expensive, but in the end, it’s my money and my content. I decide what quality is worth. A virtual version of my two card decks: It’s fully online and playable. You can try it out here. [ https://substack.com/redirect/d253a958-d2e5-49e8-925c-e7be70fd7192?j=eyJ1IjoiNzRiZXZxIn0.26TDO4Ygo5l69NnkPzr2Ax0IIjv-K5IWcmNJKcK8PLY ] An archive manager for 13 years of these newsletters. An archive converter (currently outlining) to rip my Facebook and Instagram content and turn it into small, printable books. 2. The Imperative of the Clusterfk** In the beginning, making mistakes is easy because it just happens. Something goes wrong, you deal with it. But after just a day or two of this, I began to get cautious. What if I break it? What if this new feature messes up the rest? What if I can’t get it back? My old instinct screams: Now you need to think it through! But that’s a trap. This isn’t where I’m at. Even if it all breaks down, the agent and I can rebuild it. What matters right now is not that I build perfect products. What matters is that I learn. And learning happens fastest when you make mistakes. The more clusterfucks I can get myself into (and claw my way out of), the more ambitious the projects, the more edges and limits I hit—the more I will learn. I know this is true, but in reality, fighting that instinct to be careful feels so strange.  The rest is still swirling. I’ll try to write again as soon as I can.  Until then, with love —Mathias Unsubscribe https://substack.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.4W_3UtAyk-Iyp_bYminRh2aAH2TbCN-Rmi9coLTbDOs?

View this post on the web at https://thnkclrly.substack.com/p/this-is-something-ive-been-wanting Since I moved from NYC to Copenhagen I’ve been unable to sell my physical card decks because it’s prohibitively expensive to ship them from Denmark. I’ve often been asked if I could build a digital version, and I’ve wanted to do it, but I also wanted to do it well. I wanted the cards to feel as close as possible to real cards, and I wanted the interaction with the cards to be as simple and intuitive as possible. In the past two days I’ve been building and refining this very first prototype of a digital Think Clearly card deck-app. You can pick a deck. Put it out in the table. Click a stack of cards to flip the first card. Drag the card around. Click again to flip it. You can also right-click (ctrl+click on mac or long press on touch device) on a stack of cards to get the option to shuffle them scramble them out on the table, lay them out nicely, or split the stack into smaller stacks. I don’t love the ‘right click’ or the menu, but until I come up with something better, this is how it is. The prototype is also multi-player enabled. If you click the collaboration button in the top-right corner you can create a room and share the code with others. Then you can have real-time collaboration. This is not a finished product. But I want to turn it into a product and make it useful. I have lots of ideas to super-charge it, but I just couldn’t wait to share it with you.

Hello Amazing, I’m writing this because I can’t sit still. I can’t focus on my “real” work. Because what even is “real” work anymore when the ghost in the machine just built a functional product—something that would have taken me two weeks of focused work (which I will never have) to build—in the 20 minutes it took me to brew and drink a single cup of coffee? For fifteen years, I’ve listened to the tech-prophets talk about the “end of coding” like it was a usefully scary, thought-provoking story. A story can feel scary, but you know there is no monster. The fear is all in your head. I’ve been a designer, a developer, a strategist—I know how hard this stuff is. I know that writing and testing and debugging takes time. But then I sat down with Gemini-CLI and Antigravity, and suddenly the monster wasn’t in the book anymore. It was in the room. I could feel it breathing down my neck. The warmth. The smell. I know some of you have been here for a long time. You’re already far down this path, and you might be reading this thinking, “What took you so long, Mathias?” Or maybe you’ve already forgotten that first feeling of vertigo because it was so long ago. If so, perhaps I can at least help you bring back the memory. Because for me, right now, I’m vibrating. I’m electric. And I feel a bit sick. I watched an agent plan a project, choose a stack, set up a virtual environment, and build me a full-stack stock portfolio analyzer from scratch. I asked for a feature; Boom. I asked for a data validator; Three minutes. It recorded a video of itself using the tool to prove it worked. And I realized I wasn’t “coding” anymore. I was just... wanting... something. I wanted to know how my stock portfolio had performed. I wanted to see what would happen if I just tried. I was clicking “Approve” on blocks of code changes I didn’t read. Most of it was in languages I don’t know. But the magic was working. It raises an awful lot of tough questions about work. Who builds? What do we need to build? What skills are actually needed? Could you vibe code a better vibe coding tool? (of course you can…) What is really my job? And when I just let the machine do everything, turn on auto-pilot and stop pretending that I am critical in my ‘approval’ of whatever it has come up with, how wrong could it go if it suddenly decides to not follow my instructions? That’s the stuff that makes me sick. Because as scary as it is, I am absolutely certain that this is happening. Some companies will hold back and wait and delay. But it feels inevitable. I know you probably won’t go home and try this tonight, if you haven’t already. I wouldn’t have. I read the articles for months first. “Reading about it” is like looking at a photo of a hurricane from the safety of your living room. But once you’re in the wind? Once you see a tool manifest out of thin air because you dared to describe it? And then you do it again, and it works again? I just can’t un-see the magic. So, don’t download the tools if you aren’t ready. That’s okay. But I hope as you read this, you feel just a flicker of this vertigo. Keep this feeling of the floor disappearing in your pocket or in your heart or in your iCloud account. Talk about it with someone. Maybe, in a month or two, you’ll have a need for a tool that doesn’t exist yet, and you’ll remember this note. You’ll sit down. And you’ll finally decide to jump off the cliff with me. It’s terrifying. I’m still falling. And I’ll try to keep writing about it. —With love, Mathias Unsubscribe https://substack.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.yW9fqJrpCKV4BY8VisJhz5xdtTS9WZL9SIO5m8wUemY?

View this post on the web at https://thnkclrly.substack.com/p/the-infinity-gear-annual-report-2025 Hello Amazing, For a long time, I called myself a “recovering writer.” It was a way of saying (to myself) that I was trying to get back to something I used to be. But looking back at 2025, I realized I can drop the “ing.” I have recovered. This year’s Annual Report is a story about that shift. It explores a year defined by two very different marathons, three painful bike crashes, a richer experiment with AI, and the quiet satisfaction of regularly ditching the smartphone for a Light Phone. But mostly, it is about the realization that sometimes, the things we have been working towards for a long time have already happened—we just haven’t paused long enough to notice. Why read it? I write these reports to witness my own year, but I share them as an invitation. Reflection is hard work. It’s difficult to just sit down and “think.” My hope is that reading about my year might act as a mirror—reminding you of the friction, the momentum, and the quiet victories in your own life. All the best, — Mathias Unsubscribe https://substack.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.Y0EdKYk9wKYroO8l0JX5GNmAb7JsU1QF5hDVJma3vak?

Hello Amazing Halfway into January and I feel like I’m just stumbling along. This week I’ve had three “child’s first sick day”-days where I’ve had to stay home from work in order to care for three different sick kids.

I keep thinking about things I want to write about, but I can’t remember, and then I think about how much I have forgotten. Perhaps some of it is somewhere in a notebook? And when there’s finally a moment of calm amidst all this chaos, and I feel like this is my chance, now I could actually write something, I am completely depleted. There’s just no initiative. I’m not even feeling my usual cravings to go running or cycling. I just want to lay down and fall asleep at 8:30. Today it’s a little bit calmer. I’m a little bit more focused. My to-do list is full of ideas of things I could do. And what I have decided to do is to go for the smallest tangible wins. Not try to tackle the big and endless tasks. But those little things. I just shared a photo on the internal ‘style memo’ I write at the company where I work. It’s not important. But it’s full of good energy. And it was small. Now I’m writing this. Not my best and most thoughtful issue by any means. But it’s a small thing and I want to do it and share it instead of just thinking about it and not doing it. And after I send this I will try to make a tiny little art project for myself, with some photos I’ve been taking of my bicycles and running shoes, trying to capture the aesthetics of the gradual and purposeful destruction that happens as I exercise. I’ve been shooting and thinking and looking at the images. Now I want to get a few of them printed and make it a bit more tangible. It’s chaos. But I’m still standing. And today I’m chasing the small wins. How are you doing today? — with love Mathias p.s. I’m also excited to soon share my 2025 Annual Report with you. I just need to pick out the last few photos and review it. Think Clearly Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.
