Runs Without Me. You Can Too.: How One Founder 13 Applications with AI Agents

269 guard files. 221 cron jobs. 13 production applications. One person responsible. This book is not a manifesto about a distant AI future. It is the build log of a real system. Over fourteen months, Frederik von der Heyden bootstrapped an architecture where AI agents write code, monitor applications, contain failures, and turn experience into permanent capabilities. Every attempt opened a new dimension. Every unexpected outcome made the system more resilient. You will learn: - how assistants become accountable operators - why good boundaries enable greater autonomy - how guards, self-healing, and memory work together >The book includes a complete 30-day blueprint: three guards on day one, hooks and memory in week one, autonomous night operations within the first month. Two reading paths guide entrepreneurs and developers equally through the same story. No future scenarios. No tool guides with an expiration date. Instead: verified numbers, real incidents, and a methodology you can apply to your own project tomorrow.
