Software Engineering Manager. Dad. Way too into fantasy football. I call Portland home.

I was actually expecting @NFL’s app to have difficulty given everyone signing up for subscriptions right before games start. Hard engineering problem. This hour+ of downtime shows how cheap they are with their investment in software. Just another cost center for them smh

I love Portland for its trees! Portland has a ton of good data on it: portland.gov/trees/get-invol…. Cool fact is that we have about 700 redwoods (the two largest tree species on the planet) lining public sidewalks - largest being a 26 foot diameter tree in Eastmoreland.

Day 2 of building personal agents to help me with my life: continue to be shocked at how hard it is to get *my own data* programmatically. Latest example: Apple’s Screen Time data.

Trying to build a my own finance and tax advisor agent, and wow it’s way too hard to connect agents to get data from my financial institutions.. feels like this is going to change in one way or another

What’s the best solution for non-technical users sharing skills on a Team Claude plan? It seems like anthropic should be releasing something here soon, but I’ve been saying that for almost 2 months now

Everyone is learning how to use the newest AI at the same time. Watching popular accounts shell out hot takes as gospel (e.g. mcp sucks, codex >>> CC, my skill is the best! 🥴) improves both 1. My confidence 2. Signal on who is actually next level vs imposters
