Building Sovereignty

Weekly systems architecture for founders who own their data

ANTI-SAAS

We might build them, but we don’t use them. We reject monthly subscriptions. We build systems you own forever.

SOVEREIGN AI

Automate the grunt work. Keep the creative control. Own the prompt. Creative Commons, open source, decentralized.

From $0 to Exit. The technical roadmap for non-technical founders of an Empire. Learn the architecture.

The Rental Economy is a Trap: Why I’m Building a Sovereign Empire
The rental economy of founders, creatives, and startups is a trap, and creators need to abandon Software as a Service in favor of Sovereignty.
Open Source Pops the AI Bubble. Good. Let It.
I am ready for the AI bubble to pop. Just not the way the Luddites want it to. I want open source to destroy the collective AI ecosystem.
Meta Walks Away from Open Source, And the Bill Comes Due
Once the loudest megaphone for open-source AI, Meta has decided it would rather lock the door. Avocado won’t show up until Q1 2026. And when it does, it lives behind a closed wall.

The Rental Economy is a Trap.

Most founders are building on rented land. If your entire business depends on a $29/mo plugin or a platform that can ban you tomorrow, you don’t have a business—you have a liability.

DailyInkling is the documentation of a different path. Data Sovereignty. High Leverage. Zero Bloat.

Operating Protocols

01 // CODE OVER TOOLS We do not pay $29/mo for a plugin we can build in an afternoon.

02 // DATA SOVEREIGNTY We reject platform risk. If we can’t export the database, we don’t use it.

03 // HIGH LEVERAGE We build systems that work while we sleep.

/// Chief Systems Architect

I stopped “writing” and started engineering. I build sovereign digital assets that run on code, not hope. This is the documentation of the build—from the raw infrastructure to the automated cash flow.
