Welcome to Faster Horses

This blog is inspired by Henry Ford's famous quote: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."

What This Is About

This is a space for thoughts on:

• Building with conviction - Creating what people need, not what they ask for
• Technology & AI - Exploring the cutting edge thoughtfully
• Product thinking - Understanding problems deeply before solving them
• Contrarian ideas - Challenging conventional wisdom when it makes sense

Why "Faster Horses"?

The metaphor captures something essential about innovation: true breakthroughs come from understanding the underlying need (getting somewhere faster) rather than incremental improvements to existing solutions (making horses faster).

When people ask for faster horses, they're really saying they want to get somewhere quicker. The breakthrough isn't breeding faster horses—it's inventing the automobile.

What to Expect

Short, focused articles on technology, product development, and building things that matter. No fluff, just substance.

Topics I Write About

• AI and its implications for how we work and create
• Product development and building with conviction
• Contrarian thinking in technology and business
• The intersection of vision and execution
