WorkOS engineer Zack Proser: I fear untold stories more than AI slop
AI Engineer · youtube · 2026-11-02
AI Engineer interview with Zack Proser, WorkOS applied AI engineer and 15-year obsessive writer. He argues the bigger worry than AI slop is the stories that never get told. He built Blogbot, a Slack tool that takes colleagues' drafts 85-90% of the way while a human still reads, edits and signs every post. Key points: asymmetric leverage from turning craft into tools, speed doesn't have to kill craft, and his 'true, useful, beautiful' test. He also built a bedtime story app for his toddlers in four hours — a factory for an audience of two.
