Mike Taylor positions himself as a pragmatic builder at the intersection of AI market research and technical education, moving fluidly between the roles of a SaaS founder and a high-scale educator. His content strategy centers on demystifying LLM utility through rigorous, "no-fluff" testing, often challenging industry hype with nuanced takes on accuracy and human-AI parity. What makes him notable is his radical transparency regarding lifestyle engineering, openly documenting how he transitioned from agency consulting to passive course income and product development. By blending Python-literate technical depth with a copywriter’s eye for market fit, he provides a unique value proposition: helping "smart creatives" use AI for tight iteration and pre-validation rather than just generic automation.

I know it's anecdotal but I hit the £100k cap five years ago and every year since then I have taken on less paid work as my consulting rates rose, to stay under the cap. Year 0: 6 days per week runni…
Fun idea: we made the "Rosetta stone" of AI Agents courses. You build the same 10 agents in three different frameworks: N8N (for the no-coders), DSPy (for the optimizers) and LangChain/LangGraph (for…
"How accurate are AI personas?" I just got this question again so I'm putting my response here so I can link to it next time: There's no easy answer. The problem with accuracy is you have to define…
Does this person exist?: knows python + good at video editing. Thinking about making our first hire to professionalize our prompt engineering Udemy course which just hit 18k new students per month.…
Every CRM homepage: "We offer a central source of truth"
Great use case I didn't think of. Ask a bunch of people about your idea in Rally, then use our custom summarize to pinpoint what segments liked it.

Writing style breakdown
Conversational, informal-professional, and grounded in real-world detail.
Very clear and accessible; no jargon unless it’s absolutely necessary, and when used it’s contextualized.
Pragmatic and utility-focused: the writing is trying to be useful more than inspiring or poetic.
Informative and explanatory (especially in longer posts).
Lightly humorous or wry (short, punchy posts).
Mildly skeptical / critical when discussing industry claims or “accuracy”.
Overall casual but competent: sounds like a smart practitioner talking to peers, not like a formal essay.
Uses contractions naturally (“it’s”, “you’re”, “I’ve”, “you’ll”).
Will openly say things like “this is surprisingly fun” or “because I’m bored”.
Medium energy: not hypey, but not flat.
Longer posts are reflective and nuanced, with a “let’s think this through” energy.
Short posts are punchy and high-clarity, often with a single idea or joke.
Emotionally, the voice is calm, confident, mildly playful, and slightly contrarian when needed.
Uses rhetorical questions both as hooks and as internal checkpoints: “What do you mean ‘accurate’?”, “Can it pick the winning ad out of two options?”
Often reframes the core question: e.g. from “How accurate is it?” to “Is this useful?”
Strong use of concrete numbers and specifics to build credibility (e.g. “18k new students per month”, “280k ppl”, “90% of the time”, “£100k cap”).
Occasional quick, tweet-like one-liners, often observational or quippy, e.g. “Every CRM homepage: ‘We offer a central source of truth’” or “‘blame it on the AIs’ is the new ‘blame it on the interns’”.
Direct audience engagement is present but not overbearing; more “explaining something in a thread” than “hard sell”.
Uses first person singular “I” frequently when sharing personal experiences or opinions.
Uses “we” when speaking on behalf of a product/team/company (“we rolled this out”, “we made the ‘Rosetta stone’…”).
Uses “you” for direct address, especially when giving advice or framing benefits (“you build the same 10 agents…”, “so you could try it out”).
Mixes statements with direct instructions (“Ask a bunch of people… then use our custom summarize…”).
Ask a bunch of people…
Watch this video…
What I tend to do is…
If I see anything surprising…
If I don’t believe it… I go and run a real world study…
Rarely uses strong imperatives like “You must” or “You need to”; prefers explanatory guidance over authoritarian direction.
