Husband. Father. Latter-day Saint. I build software and ship in public — apps, agents, the messy middle.

Husband first. Father second.
I’m a Latter-day Saint in Fountain Green, Utah. I build software — apps, cheap self-hosted agents, the unglamorous parts of shipping — and I write down what I learn so I don’t have to solve it twice.

My son is serving a mission in Detroit. Their phones are locked down so he can't check his personal bank account.
So, I've got a SimpleFIN connection I use for EnvelopeBudget. I have Hermes use that same connection to get a snapshot of his account each week and send an email with his balance and recent transactions for the week.

I think we can safely throw this advice out the window now, right @DHH?

I had to play along and see what kind of remotion video Claude Opus 5.5 could create for me. Amaze, amaze, amaze!

Wandering around the desert at night I came across this giant bug that looked like a cross between a bee and a beetle.
Grok informs me it is neither. It is actually a Jerusalem cricket.

Thanks to T-Mobile and Starlink I can still text my wife and browse X when I’m in the middle of nowhere with no service!

My god this is such a good speech that every SWE needs to hear. You know what? Every person should hear it
Keep the happy memories, eyes on the reality, be excited about the future. That’s the best that anyone can do

Opus 5.5 timing was great. I had Astra start a complete rewrite of my EnvelopeBudget frontend from Django Templates + AlpineJS + HTMX to Svelte.
Astra did a good first pass at things. But then I used Opus to get everything updated, tested, and improved.
4 DAYS - To rewrite a big frontend. I can't believe it. I was going to sit on it, but it was so much better, why not deploy it on a Friday before going camping?

I have a stack of these waivers in my truck from all camps from this year. I generally pre-fill the pdf and send it out to make it easier. I was just thinking last week that I should make a tool to automate this.
@mhp_guy already did! Just send it out for our camp tonight. Awesome work. Thanks!
IYKYK. This form is the enemy of all LDS youth leaders.
Want to plan a fun activity? Ask 40 parents to print and fill these out and return to you in person. Not happening
For the love of the game, I made a 100% free solution that works beautifully: onlywaivers.com

Ever miss a meeting simply because you missed the alarm - or didn't get it?
It happened to often for me. I needed something to pull me out of the ZONE, out of the FLOW!
I've used other tools, but nothing did exactly what I wanted, so I build my own chrome extension. Now meetings are impossible to forget about!
If you have this problem, check out my free chrome extension!
