I'm a father of two, 7 and 12. They are obsessed with Roblox, especially Rivals. Like a lot of parents, we did not love it. We tried the usual things: block it, limit it, set timers." It became a daily battle, a lose-lose situation. So I flipped the problem. Instead of fighting what they loved, I decided to lean into it, but with a twist. Why just play an FPS when you could build one together? My kids became the PMs. Claude and I became their engineer. I was shocked by how fast we moved. We picked a name, Cooked and started building. Get in. Lock in. Get cooked! In the first 3 hours, we had an actual FPS we could play together in the browser. Next day I invited my friend's two kids over.

Would you use a brainstorming/planning/ideation tool for side projects? This is not a new idea, and I know we see posts about something similar about once a month. I do think I took it farther than others I've seen, but either way I'd still be interested in feedback on this one. Backstory: I've been building side projects with AI a lot (who hasn't?) and I realized that over the past year I've gravitated toward a very structured approach for building new ideas.

I pivoted from my initial idea after realizing I was solving the right problem at the wrong time When I started building GaaS Guard, it was an AI governance tool for companies. The idea was to help organizations defend against prompt injection and unsafe AI interactions. It was technically interesting, and I still genuinely believe I was solving a real problem. The problem was, it just wasn’t selling—to be brutally honest. Here’s how I actually ended up pivoting. I started using a b
