I absolutely love teaching powerful AI workflows.
It would be *amazing* if a job where I could teach the world what's next in AI experiences while working alongside brilliant people just fell into my lap on Monday...

I got tired of creating so many aliases, agents, rules, and prompts.
I built mdflow to consolidate them all into easy-to-author, intelligent markdown files.
Conditional templating ✅
Inline commands ✅
Works with anything ✅
Build the agent you've always wanted.
Open-source FTW ❤️

I write a lot of TypeScript scripts. Here's one of my favorite tricks:
zsh has a feature called a "suffix alias" which uses an "-s" flag:
~~~
alias -s ts='bun'
~~~
Create a script called "hello.ts", then simply type "hello.ts" to run the script with bun.
