Bonus Field Note: The number one thing holding lawyers back from AI isn't the technology. It's not knowing where to start. This week: how building a video game for my six-year-old taught me more about AI workflows than most legal use cases have — and why low-stakes experimentation is the fastest path to high-stakes confidence.

Field Note #1. Three weeks back as GC and I'd already caught myself doing something I tell other lawyers not to do — using AI to confirm what I already thought.

This week: flipping your prompting perspective, why I'm not replacing our classification tool with gen AI, and what happens when you can query your own codebase. The stuff nobody's talking about.

I'm a General Counsel building an AI-first legal function at a scaling tech company — and I'm documenting the whole thing in public. Not theory. Not predictions. The actual work: what I'm building, what's breaking, and what I got wrong. Every Friday, free.
