Today's guest is Mark Wochner: acoustic engineer, DIY aficionado, and maker of great cocktails. He got into AI app-building to revive a project he'd dreamed up called Historicast (look up weather in the past!) and got hooked enough to make himself a whole slew of other fun apps. In this episode, we talk about building software in hotel rooms across three continents, why he wants four weather forecasts instead of one, and why his one-person company finally got the part-time hire it needed (hint: it's Claude). Mark has used AI coding agents to make barcode apps and pantry databases, and in this conversation, we talk about why building software for an audience of one might be the most freeing thing you can do.
