A live acceleration dashboard, updated as the experiment unfolds.

I'm compressing 7 years of progress into 24 months.

Not by working harder. By building smarter with AI tools, real connections, constant learning, and shipping what matters.

This is the live log of that experiment.

Nothing new in the last two weeks, so here are the latest logged updates.

Learn·May 25

After watching an Anthropic talk on hill climbing and evals, built an eval suite from scratch to test AI skills systematically. Runner script, history tracking, 19 tests. Ran first evals and caught a real bug on the first try. A new practice is born.

Eval framework operational. First hill climbing cycle complete. Blog post live at carolmonroe.com/blog/evals-missing-piece-ai-agents. Content carousel ready for LinkedIn and Instagram.
