Public Learning
I share the wins, the misses, and the occasional "what was I thinking?" moments.

I build software, run experiments, and share what I learn.
I've been writing code for 25+ years. Currently I'm investigating AI, agentic tooling, and modern engineering practices to see which ones actually survive contact with reality.

AI Agents: Working with OpenAI Codex, GitHub CoPilot CLI, Claude Code, Gemini & Antigravity, OpenClaw, and more!
Community: Building sites and tools to bring people together, such for puzzling.
Modern e-commerce: Experimenting with various types of small AI-driven projects.
Open Source: Sharing and contributing to open source tools.
Mostly Harmless: I try not to break the internet.
Purposeful Chaos
Small experiments with clear exits beat giant "strategic initiatives" every time.
Human-First
Architecture should be understandable by a human who hasn't had their first cup of coffee yet.

A filtered stream of engineering updates, curated so you don't have to doomscroll.
