Beyond Vibe Coding

We hear too much about how making software is easy now. And a lot of it is! The tools are amazing. But there's alawys a hard part - and that can block us.

That’s the hardest 5%. Despite all the promises of no-code, visual development, and AI, that's the part that requires us to think. And thinking needs tools too.

I've spent 25 years building software and leading tech teams, and I've seen how even smart, capable people get stuck on the challenging parts of development – those moments where the "easy" tools suddenly feel anything but easy.

That's why I created State Change. We don't try to replace the excellent tools you're already using. Instead, our office hours let you bring your toughest challenges and get unstuck fast. We’ve helped hundreds of builders with thousands of questions and issues. Think of office hours as your development partner for just the hard parts – we trust you to handle the rest.

And all those office hours feed a searchable vault of over 3,000 real-world development challenges and solutions, drawn from actual office hour sessions. When you hit a roadblock, chances are someone else has faced a similar challenge, and the answer is waiting for you in our knowledge base.

Everything we do is grounded in the State Change mental model – a framework I've developed over decades of building software and founding companies. These aren't just theoretical concepts; they're practical tools for thinking better as a developer, specifically designed to help you overcome the most challenging aspects of software creation..
