About
I'm Mark Schaake, a software engineer and entrepreneur based in Denver.
After selling my company, I'm now exploring what's possible when AI handles most of the coding. This blog documents what I'm learning about AI-first development, where the edges are, and what this means for how we build software.
I work primarily with Claude Code, shipping projects faster than I ever could solo. The experience has fundamentally changed how I think about software development, and I'm writing to process those insights.
