I very much believe that true collaboration involves way more than just the code, and I'm really excited to explore the space more.
Check out the write-up for more detail:
What if we could embed the figma design and google docs spec? What if we could do some light task management within the workspace? Quick & easy - list out the sub-tasks, self-assign one, divide & conquer.
Could we comment on & react to edits right in the workspace, or reference specific lines of code?
And if we can layer on top a rich community of plugins, could we include other things in this collaboration? What about a set of shared snippets or a shared clipboard?
if we can have a coding environment that includes all of this context, we open the door to true collaboration.
And a fun extra: this extends to collaboration with myself and others in the future!
In this exploration, we prototyped an interface that allowed you to create a "workspace" for any thread of work (fixing an issue, adding a feature, etc).
You could share that workspace (live!) with others and layer "plugins" on top of that space
When I pick up an issue to work on, I'm also thinking about:
- what conversations are we having
- what granular tasks need to be done
- how do we split those tasks up?
- what docs am I referencing?
- what decisions were made?
- what are some business reasons behind the logic?
...
but all of this context happens outside of my "coding" environment
we've shipped a ton of really interesting write-ups recently... let me tell you about
our ✨ Workspaces ✨ exploration
> When you think about collaboration for developers, what does that look like?
Many cursors typing at once, right? _Let's think harder!_
while a lot of a developer's job looks like writing code, that's not all we do! So much of the work involves the _context_ around that code!
I have a lot of side-project ideas that I would love to noodle on, but would necessarily involve things that I shouldn't do! Like...
🥺 business logistics like setting up purchases in a web app
🥺 backend logistics like spinning up custom LLM models on-the-fly
I would love to find people who love to build that would find joy in casually collaborating on such things!
I personally am most motivated by continuously building, learning, & innovating, and would love more variety of experts to join ❤️

I was hoping to do some fun data vis, but will save that for another day!
one of my favorite #Projects is my SVG tool. My end goal is to explore:
✨ Remember learning physics by playing in a sandbox as a kid? no lesson plans, just curiosity and tight feedback loops. Can we recreate some of that interactive tools?
I'm noodling on an ✨ SVG sandbox ✨ where you can slowly build your mental model, 100% driven by curiosity and the joy of creating.
Turns out recreating the entire SVG API takes a while, but I'll be sharing more about the journey soon!
👋 Hey, friends! I should do an #Introduction
A few things I love:
❤️ creating things on the web
❤️ exploring novel interfaces
❤️ turning data into meaning
❤️ empowering devs with AI
I'm currently exploring novel UIs + playing with ML on GitHub Next (a tiny R&D team within GitHub).
Previously, I did client work with pudding.cool and spent many years building dashboards for startups.
A long time ago, I worked in a lab, training to be a prison psychologist, but that's a story for another day...
