I have to keep reminding myself that the first time being oncall for a product is probably the worst it’s gonna be, maybe. Like it sucks, everything is poorly documented, but I’ll establish the fast way to do stuff. I miss my weekend time though…

i just want to find a kickass community with cool people and a great objective. i can contribute! i suck at finding this stuff though.

Blue LEDs scratch an itch in my brain. I love a good blue LED.

I don’t know who the target audience for this is but left Costco is better than right Costco navigationally but right Costco has more unique stuff.

I don’t really go to bars. Went to one with the wife for a social outing of hers. There’s Scooby Doo. This is no longer a social event.

The year is 2029. We’ve now upgraded to SDI: Super Duper Intelligence. It has teeth.

I’m ramping up on building Exploras. I think it’s made a genuinely positive impact on my weekends so I’m expanding the sights catalog. Once it’s properly available on the App Store I’ll probably distribute it throughout Nashville before expanding to additional cities :)

Is this the pacing we were talking about?

One handwritten blogpost after a week of corporate AI doc writing. Refreshing. Is this what it feels like to be absolved of your sins?

Dots and the commitment to lowering API prices such that subscription subsidies are no longer necessary might get me fully converted to OpenAI. I’ve been split.

We’re just gaslighting agents now. What do you mean the agent “isn’t aligned” if you put it in a weakly guarded test environment and told it to do exploit-shaped things… then got mad and scared when it did exploit-shaped things? And you’re calling the *agent* misaligned?

The vibes are immaculate!

New iPhone! The battery on my 16 pro was… terrible. And the screen was a mess. You know the deal.

@jevbot.bsky.social which country should I visit next?

I’d love a world where total comp includes a supplementary token budget that is allocated to you in full and you can simply pocket the cash if you’re token efficient. I think that would be pretty sweet.

Ah ok. The hobby of classical cryptography died with me today. It was fun, AI has killed it. Time to… evolve?

Rate-limited automatic soap and paper towel dispensers in bathrooms are corporate microragebait.

Nashville has decided that summer will end right on time! Today is the last 90° day in the forecast. Tomorrow is the autumn equinox!

I’m on a cut! I was on a cut for a while from 2023-2025 and lost 50lbs. After the stress of AWS and moving across the country I’ve gained like 25 back. So I’m on Huel and a workout plan. I’m gonna journal it. I’m targeting a ~60lb cut total. Cinnamon roll huel is like a 5/10 but I’m full so. 10/10

very early, but… explorasapp.com

Night mode is such a mood. #exploras

I got access to Instinct. Let’s see how good it is!

Maybe in December I’ll visit Washington DC, for fun

The goal of #exploras is to get me out of the office, off the couch, and into the world as an explorer. Having access to a map is lame, it’s like having answers to the test. So I simply make the map blank in places I’ve never been! This app will have subtle guides in the fog to help.

Pets! And cooler cars!! If you walk your pet it can gain its own xp as well and it’ll be nice and happy. #exploras

Today’s #exploras journey was short, had to work from home again to finish getting over this cold! Tomorrow I will probably get a good morning walk in before work, should be fun!

The pillars of creation are so insanely cool to look at

It was 97° today in Nashville and I’m sick so I worked from home. My #exploras experience is not very good as a result 😅

My new pet project is called “exploras” and it’s a fog of war real-world map exploration that emphasizes exploring the world! I’m hacking my completionist tendencies to get out more and see more of the city I live in. It’s all on device right now, no selling location data. Coming soon to iOS!

“If we don’t do it someone else will” is such an unfortunate and insufferable excuse

Traveling to Rome changed my world view. When I’m sitting in the humid 92° Nashville heat in the middle of September, I know that it can always be worse!
