I help people understand the Autodesk AEC Collection better (Autodesk Civil Engineering - Subject Matter Expert).

Added a light theme to the site. I asked one question, what would it take, then waited. After a bit of time, there was a page to click through: every accent color checked against a real contrast number, not eyeballed. New post: Two shades of the same site.

Most of what I build was made with an AI agent. None of the finished Civil 3D tools is one. Same intersection, same answer, every time. When someone shows you an agent, ask where the agent is. New post: Built by an agent, not an agent.

For months two of my own tools couldn't run at the same time, because I'd given both the same port number. A tool only I can run fails at the same moment a tool nobody remembers does. New post: It runs on my machine, and that is the problem.

New Blog Post Announcement: AI can take the repetition out of your Tuesdays. It cannot take your stamp off the drawing. New post: The stamp is still yours.

New Blog Post Announcement: The most useful file in most of my projects isn't code. It's a plain text file named CLAUDE.md that tells the AI assistant the rules before I say a word, so I never repeat myself project to project. New post: The Markdown file.

New Blog Post Announcement: Prepping a deck last week needed an image, a video, a cloned voice, and a chatbot to assemble it. None of that lives in one tool, and the one that topped this year's video comparisons was already shut down. Four tools, one deck.

In 2006, a man told me my problem was making Civil 3D look too easy, that his people wouldn't get there quickly. I hear the same comment about AI now, almost word for word. Here's what actually happened to the firms that waited it out.

Episode 3 of Getting Started: Git in three ideas: the diff shows you what changed, the undo means no change is permanent, and the history
explains why a line is there six months later. Getting Started: Git.

New post: what a terminal actually is, the handful of commands I typically type, and why Claude Code still runs on one even inside VS Code or Cursor.
Getting Started: The Terminal.

A coworker asked what to install before trying Claude Code on something real. I answered four things: Node/npm, Git, a paid account, and whichever language SDK your work touches. New post, first in a "Getting Started" series.

"NEW" Project: Transportation Asset Generator, a custom headless Blender pipeline that builds MUTCD-accurate signs, poles, cabinets, and signal heads for use in 3D modeling environments (i.e. Autodesk InfraWorks). Forty signs in the library, so far. https://t.co/goT53oSoqw

I keep a running list of things to build or fix, and I add to it several times a day now. Not because more is broken than a year ago, but because the cost of fixing it finally dropped low enough to notice.
New blog post: "The Infinite Backlog".

Something new I’ve been working on…

YINUAI — AI for Infrastructure.

The name comes from a question I keep coming back to:

“Why I, and You, AI?”

Why AI? Why now? And what does it mean for the future of infrastructure?

More to come.

At our next 30 min. workout (Sept 2nd) I'll be demonstrating how to extract material volumes from intersecting Civil 3D corridors! Hope you can make it! #civil3d #autodeskemployee https://t.co/5mz3RnVu7U
