# Rick Blalock

> I keep coming back to infrastructure: the technical kind, the organizational kind, and the kind a country depends on.

## Scratch Notes

- [Scratch Notes](https://www.rickblalock.dev/scratch-notes/): working ideas on agents, products, freedom, and the systems that give small teams more leverage
- [The computer should learn you](https://www.rickblalock.dev/scratch-notes/the-computer-should-learn-you/): A truly personal computer should remember how its owner works and reshape itself around them.
- [The owner is the reasoning layer, for better or worse](https://www.rickblalock.dev/scratch-notes/the-owner-is-the-reasoning-layer/): Most small businesses already have a system of reasoning. It is the owner.
- [An agentic company is not a company with only agents](https://www.rickblalock.dev/scratch-notes/an-agentic-company-is-not-a-company-with-agents/): An agentic company starts with the work, then brings together human judgment, agent capability, and shared context around it.
- [The company that remembers](https://www.rickblalock.dev/scratch-notes/the-company-that-remembers/): A small business should not have to become a bureaucracy to retain and reuse what its people learn.
- [Every job should make the company better](https://www.rickblalock.dev/scratch-notes/every-job-should-make-the-company-better/): An agentic company should not only finish the work. It should become more capable because the work happened.
- [Freedom is built](https://www.rickblalock.dev/scratch-notes/freedom-is-built/): Technical, business, and national freedom all depend on having the tools and systems to shape your own future.
- [AI can help small businesses stay independent](https://www.rickblalock.dev/scratch-notes/ai-can-help-small-businesses-stay-independent/): AI could give independent small-business owners more of the operating leverage traditionally reserved for larger companies.
