This is a subscriber's only newsletter. There's a lot of ground to cover (Claude's new Legal Agent?! Moltbook?! Legal Quants!?), so I would like to get this personal post out of the way first. My blog (coding) agent seem to do poorly at personal posts, so (surprise, surprise) 100% of this has to be done by hand.

To be honest, I did have a goal to do some public speaking in 2026. When I restarted this newsletter in the form of alt-counsel, I wanted to only do 1 detailed post a month due to time constraints. As the record goes, with big help from Claude Code, I over-performed. Simply speaking, as I managed to develop my ideas more fully and put them in writing, getting people to see value in it became much easier.

When Building Gets Cheap But Knowing Stays Expensive

When Building Gets Cheap But Knowing Stays Expensive

In 2024, I spent hours crafting a 3-page prompt to generate an M&A term sheet for a legal tech competition. The result was a 4-page HTML document with timeline diagrams, color-coded risk tables (red/yellow/green), and professional typography that no standard Word template could match.
