Sis. Ma'am. Sir. Badass. You've always been an engineering baddie (or baller!), and in this first episode of The Sable Singularity, I'm gonna prove it! 👩🏿💻💅🏾👩🏾🔬
We talk about how story, creativity, and systems have always been humanity’s first form of engineering, why artists and engineers are not opposites (never were), and how I accidentally manifested my tech startup eight years before I knew how to code. (Because HOW am I out here being a whole accidental tech goddess?) 😂
It’s mythic, a little magical, a little unhinged (in a good way), and grounded by the debut of "Scrum Solo"—my practical, no-BS system for turning big dreams into weekly, shippable progress.
In this episode, I talk about…
- Why artists are already engineers—and engineers are already storytellers
- How story has always been humanity’s first engineering language
- My personal journey from lifelong writer to full stack engineer
- Manifestation, forgotten dreams, and rediscovering an 8-year-old idea that became my tech startup
- How systems (not vibes alone) turn creativity into real, shippable work
- Why I’m building everything in public—and inviting you to do the same!
Scrum Solo
- Sprint Review: 2025 was 🔥.
- Sodom series: unlocked!
- Apps + 5 GPTs: shipped!
- Tech startup: founded!
- Full Stack identity: activated (the swag is drippy!)
- Sprint Retro:
- What slapped: consistency. Big Ideas paired with Action Plans.
- What crashed: listening to other people.
- Sprint Planning: 2026 goals include:
- Writing and publishing the first book of the Sodom series.
- Shipping my first Roblox game.
- Shipping the new 4 versions of my gTS writing studio app.
- Become a full stack badass.
- (Next episode, I’ll break these four focus areas down into smaller, bite-sized chunks!)
- Scrum (Constraints & Solutions):
- Constraints: Time. Drama.
- Solutions: Schedules. Systems. Consistency.
- And yes— the Block Button is a productivity tool.
