I am a polite software developer and I am always committed to the bit. I will be your favorite app maker’s favorite app maker.

I am enamored by user-facing software, especially mobile, and especially iOS. Swift is my current weapon of choice but I will use any made-up word to solve any problem. I ship my side projects for free.

I run this single-user Mastodon instance in good faith and I intend to keep it that way.

It’s hard to articulate what my agentic programming workflow looks like to use all of these tokens. I would say it is weighted toward hardening and verification: I spend a lot more time polishing, whittling, and testing than I do generating. Here is what Codex analytics shows for skill use.
Helluva day in the mines. Back at it again tomorrow.
We found the legendary fiber gummies at Trader Joe’s. These will fix me.
I have been living in Moshi for the last week as my mobile SSH (and MOSH) client for doing agentic programming away from my desk. It is a wonderful iOS app that feels as modern as a terminal emulator can, which is to say strikingly modern. The tmux integration puts it over the top for me.
We should be about 6 years away from LLMs completing tasks using computers that take humans 100 years to autonomously do. Mythos has us right on schedule.
Heaven is a prompt away. Some assembly required.
I didn’t expect these words in this order.
After being away for two weeks I had the best night of sleep in my life.
