About Shared Fire
A Note on Writing
I use AI to help articulate and structure my writing because efficiency matters. The patterns, insights, and connections are mine - AI just helps me get them from brain to page faster. If that bothers you, consider why we accept spell-check but question grammar-help.
What This Is
I document patterns that exist across every organization. Universal truths about systems that everyone experiences but rarely discusses publicly. Insights that could benefit everyone if they weren't trapped in silos.
These aren't secrets - they're observations about how systems actually work versus how we pretend they work.
What You'll Find
- Critical Path Analysis: Finding the ONE thing that actually blocks progress
- System Patterns: Architectural insights that apply everywhere
- Organizational Dynamics: The inefficiencies everyone sees but nobody documents
- Product Strategy: What actually matters vs. what sounds good in meetings
- Ideas for Tech Giants: Opportunities companies like Anthropic and OpenAI haven't recognized yet
Who I Am
A Systems Thinker disguised as a software architect.
I've built insurance platforms, automation systems, and watched countless organizations repeat the same patterns.
My focus: Seeing the critical path when everyone else is optimizing the wrong thing.
Why "Stolen Fire"
Prometheus brought fire to humanity - shared knowledge that transformed everything.
Every organization generates insights: what actually works, patterns of failure, unspoken truths about efficiency. This knowledge usually stays trapped in internal wikis, private channels, and post-mortems that never see daylight.
I'm identifying patterns I see in other organizations. Illuminating what's hidden. Sharing insights that help everyone.
The Mission
Make things better by making patterns visible. Name the problems everyone experiences. Share solutions that benefit everyone.
The ideas are the product. Everything else is just delivery mechanism.
