I'm super pumped to share that @danielmgauthier joined me to work on Happy Scale. I've wanted the chance to work with Daniel for years, and the experience over the last month has exceeded my hopes for how good it could be. I'm so fired up for all the ways we plan to improve the product and design!!

Margaret is a film that asks the age old question: “whachu gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside that trunk” — except what if the junk is guilt and the trunk is your head? In this essay I will

Stumbled upon a movie called Margaret last night, and it was a masterpiece. Would recommend it to anyone who’s into explorations on morality.

This was terribly handled. Not sure who thought it was a responsible idea to release a full on POC script for a hack before, you know, waiting until distributions were patched for it.

I'm about to say something I haven't said in 8 years: I'm looking for a full-time job.

I'm looking for the right role with the right people and the right mission, all of which I've laid out in this blog post. I'm mostly interested in something new, so if this sounds like your team I'd love to talk. https://fabisevi.ch/2026/04/29/open-to-work

Both inquiries and reposts would be incredibly appreciated. 🙇🏻‍♂️

Open To Work

I won't bury the lede, I'm looking to go back to work full-time. I'm thankful to not be under financial strain, so I'm not rushing into anything. Instead I'm coming at this from a place of genuine interest in finding the right opportunity for me. Recently I've had some great conversations with interesting companies, and it helped me realize that there are some things I miss about not being an indie. I'm putting this post out into the universe to find the right fit, and the best place to start is to tell you why I'm going back to work and what I'm looking for.

They're not just interviewing you, you're also interviewing them. One of my writing groups had us do reverse interview questions for prospective managers. Here are the ones I came up with. (I will not actually be asking these, but they are the things I would want to know.)

1. Describe a situation in which you had to take a stand on a value or principle which was unpopular.

2. Give an example of a time you went out of your way to help someone who couldn’t benefit you professionally.

My wife and I both fell in love with Pokopia, and I wanted a guide that felt as good as the game does.

So I built one.

Pokopanion is out today — your companion for the long game. Lost Bulbasaur again? Save where you put every Pokémon and always know where they live. Roommate suggestions pair like-minded Pokémon so one habitat keeps them all happy. Personal notes on anything, and plenty more.

I respect that Tim Cook kept privacy as a core tenant of Apple's DNA during his run. And I hope it remains core to their operations for many years to come.
