For the last three months, I have been warning the Claris ecosystem about a hidden mathematical reality in the transition to AI-assisted coding: The Token Tax. Yesterday, a report from Fortune and Yahoo Finance proved exactly why this matters at an enterprise scale. According to the report, Microsoft has begun actively canceling internal Claude Code licenses for its own engineers.
After the launch of ai2fm.com, developers from 28 countries started using the bridge between FileMaker and AI. This is how we built it — not as one person, not as one machine, but as a coordinated human-AI development system.
Why Your Expertise is Unwatchable: A FileMaker Pedagogy Manifesto Core Thesis: Technical mastery does not authorize pedagogical laziness. In the FileMaker ecosystem, “content” is abundant, but “clarity” is scarce. A teacher’s job is not just to know the answer, but to clear the path for others to find it. 1. The “Bad” Teacher (The Unstructured
A Bridge among two incredible technologies. FileMaker WebDirect is an incredible deployment tool that has revolutionized how we deliver apps. However, one common request we hear from clients is the need for “Rich Text Editing” that also prints perfectly on reports—something that has traditionally been challenging in a web environment. Rather than seeing this as
Gemini Plans, Claude Executes: The “Two-Brain” Workflow If you open X today, you will see hundreds of posts about vibe coding and how everyone is creating crazy tools, dashboards, and even full-production apps making money. All that information can be overwhelming. But don’t sweat. It’s actually quite simple. Here’s what I have personally found to
For years, the promise of multi-agent AI collaboration has been a mirage. Tools like OpenRouter or Poe’s multi-bot chats offer what I call “stateless multiplexing.” A human architect submits one prompt and gets back three, five, or ten isolated replies.
The cognitive load isn’t reduced; it’s multiplied. The human must then act as a low-level filter, manually reading every response, identifying contradictions, filtering hallucinations, and composing a single coherent answer.
The AIs aren’t collaborating. They are performing parallel monologues. They have no shared context, no persistent memory, and no way to build upon each other’s work.
Every FileMaker developer eventually meets the FRINGE. That strange, irrational territory where the “wrong” solution works, the “right” one fails, and the database gods simply laugh.
In this journey, what began as a simple calculation refresh became a Twilight Zone episode—until the collective BORG wisdom took over. Resistance was futile… but the lessons were priceless.
