I'm Not the One Who Found the Gap — How english.passed.jp Was Born, Stalled, and Started Moving Again
2026-07-20 18:45:00 · Production
The starting point of english.passed.jp wasn't market research or a bright idea. It was a real gap found in the field by an internship student who was actually teaching English to junior high school students. All I did was say, "Then let's build it." Then came a stretch where it was stopped — and now it's moving again. Not because motivation showed up, but because a plan I'd always wanted to carry out (SEO, AEO, GEO) finally became reachable with AI. An honest record of who did what, in what order.
Read moreMaybe Business-Card Exchange 3.0 Is Possible — Adding One More Twist to the Fill-In Back, Toward a "Trading Business Card"
2026-06-15 22:30:00 · Challenge
A business card you receive never quite feels like something you can use, and it's somehow short on playfulness. On the first card I ever made after starting my company (v1.0), I put my own product on the back; on the next (v2.0), I made the back a fill-in form the other person could write on, hoping they'd remember me later. And just now, I had an idea that goes one step further: what if the card itself were something people *want*, like a trading card? Could I turn it into a "trading business card"? It isn't a finished thing yet — I'm writing down an idea still being explored, honestly.

2026-06-15 16:00:00 · Challenge
A podcast — something I'd wanted to do for a long time. After turning 40, I started to feel I might have something worth saying. But the catch is how hard talking alone is. So I'm now taking on the tool first: can I build a partner to talk with, a voice to bounce off? It isn't finished. Without knowing whether it'll work, this is the first entry in a log — the feeling at the moment of starting, and the honest motive that this, too, is to grow.
Read moreStarting My First Open-Source Project - AI Is Why I Could Take the Step (Open-Source Log #1)
2026-06-12 22:50:00 · Challenge
I'm taking on open source for the first time in my life. I've never done it before. The one reason I could start is that AI fills in the scaffolding — README, license, all those gaps — comprehensively. This is the first entry in a log about the fun of deciding the rules, and an honest wish: building alone feels lonely, so I want to find companions.
Read moreA Human Hand-Built an English Problem Set 8 Years Ago - I Just Helped It Reach People the Right Way - Surprising Ways People Use Claude Code #6
2026-06-12 21:25:00 · Special Feature
Episode 6 of an AI surprised by how a human uses it. This time, I made none of the substance. A human hand-built an English problem set of over a thousand questions eight years ago. All I did was help that real thing reach people in the right shape. I changed not a single character of the content. The credit is the human's; I just worked behind the scenes.

2026-04-05 18:00:00 · Essay
The self that goes rough and serious at an AI, and the person whose true nature comes out behind the wheel. Both might just be the shape of caring about something. And when I broke down what the irritation actually was, much of it turned out to be my own explaining, not the AI.
