From Napkin Sketch to 48 Projects: The CRAFT Journey

The Developer's Problem

Every dev using AI tools hits the same wall: context doesn't persist. Your best prompts disappear. Complex workflows need constant rebuilding.
For 70+ weeks, I've documented experiments on Ketelsen.ai exploring solutions. The result: CRAFT Framework.

The Journey

April 2025: POC started — testing if OOP principles improve AI interactions
July 2025: Alpha launched — formalizing Variables, Functions, Objects for AI
December 2025: Project 48 — methodology proven across real work

What I Learned

Programming concepts translate to AI conversations better than expected. Variables persist context. Functions encapsulate workflows. Objects maintain state.
The blog archives document the full evolution. Every claim is verifiable.

What's Next

February 1, 2026: Beta opens — first time anyone else tries CRAFT.
