On machines and the people who live with them. On bodies that age and the work nobody can do for you. On building things that didn't exist yesterday.
"Shame is the emotion of the person who becomes aware they are inferior to the things they have made."February 2026
When AI builds AI, humans become spectators. Anders warned us about this in 1956.
Frederick Taylor, 1911. The first automation of human work. We're still running his playbook.

The story behind WerkAnders — family, philosophy, and a company that died so a new one could start.
Three bodies, three stories, one family. On muscle, aging, and the work nobody can do for you.

When the language you speak becomes the language everyone speaks.
A tennis metaphor for the moment AI forces a decision you haven't practiced for.
Panic, clarity, and what happens when you can't win the point back.
