I love programming. I had an idea for an app this morning. Been hacking on it all afternoon and I’ve got a working MVP. So fun to be able to take what is in your head and make it real.

I think one of the most interesting exercises to go through in programming is solving the same problem through the lens of multiple paradigms. Object-oriented vs functional I think is often the most interesting contrast of styles.

I think one of my goals in 2026 is going to be spending less time talking about AI. It has been an annoying and exhaustive conversation thay is just a waste of a lot of emotional and mental energy.

I love it when I hear devs say “I could write this myself but it would take way longer,” and my first thought is always could you really?
Have you ever actually done it without that package? I don’t have any issue with using abstractions but no need to pretend.

There is this horribly difficult to stand group of people who make it so nothing is ever cool or a good idea until they discover it no matter how long it has existed or how many have said the same thing before.
Don’t be like these folks. Be open to other people’s recs and eager to pass them on.

Just your monthly reminder that realtor is a synonym for salesperson. They are no more qualified to advise you on financial decisions than Uncle Roland at Christmas dinner and they certainly couldn’t give too shits about where you’ll be in 20 years still paying that mortgage.
