This is where I publicly work through ideas, lived experience, and experiments.
I’m Levi, a software engineer based in Berlin. I use AI, engineering, writing, and product judgment to turn vague ideas and requirements into outcomes people can understand, use, and verify. This site records the judgment that takes shape along the way, not just the final answers.
The writing continues to evolve as I gain new experience. To see the websites, products, and engineering work I’ve built, visit JL Studio / Levi Portfolio.

Form Judgment with AI
If you want to use AI without giving up your own judgment, start with these three essays:
- Don’t Just Ask AI—Let AI Ask You Questions Too — Use a multi-turn conversation to make vague but important work clearer.
- When Knowledge Is No Longer Scarce, What Remains — Why experience, tradeoffs, and responsibility matter more when AI can organize information quickly.
- In the AI Era, the Role That Fits Me Is Not a Job Title — How different forms of work can build the same capabilities without losing a current focus.
Turn Ideas into Outcomes and Systems
If the direction is becoming clear, the next step is to bring your understanding into contact with reality and develop ways of working you can keep using:
- When AI Starts Handling Different Kinds of Work, How Should You Organize Them? — Use Main, ongoing, and one-off Tasks to give different kinds of work clear ownership and context.
- From Input to Concrete Output Is a Skill You Can Train — Move from collecting, understanding, and ideating toward outcomes that can be checked, used, or shared.
- How I Redesigned the Status System in My PKM — Use a general attention status to find what actually needs attention across different domains.
