# Michael Stolarz Software, agents, experiments, and notes by Michael Stolarz. Author: Michael Stolarz Published: 2026-09-06 Updated: 2026-10-02 Canonical: https://stolarz.ai/ I work on agent experience (AX), developer experience (DX), and developer relations at [Blaxel](https://blaxel.ai), now part of [Baseten](https://www.baseten.co/). I’ve been obsessively following AI since 2020. These days, I’m also watching my two-year-old daughter figure out the world. Getting to see her grow up while this field grows too is something I’m really grateful for. You can find me on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelstolarz/) or take a look at [SystemSculpt](https://systemsculpt.com/), an Obsidian plugin I made. ## On X ### [Oct 19, 2026 — @MichaelStolarz](https://x.com/MichaelStolarz/status/2112328571373170918) > That's a wrap on Make Something Agents Want at [@ycombinator]()\! > > A packed room built products whose main user is an agent, and 14 teams took on our [@blaxelAI]() track\.
