Now
What I'm shipping, reading, and thinking about
A /now page. A snapshot of current state — not a bio, not a feed, just what I care about this week.
Last updated · April 16, 2026
Shipping
- — Pinit v2: rebuilding the location-extraction pipeline on Modal workers. 3x faster, half the cost.
- — Dad's App: pediatrician dashboard (SaaS companion) going into beta this month.
- — X Reply: in-voice reply drafts, cleaning up the voice-matching corpus.
Writing
- — An essay on parallel Claude Code sessions in practice (drafting now).
- — A technical walkthrough of Pinit's Modal → Whisper → embeddings pipeline.
Reading
- — Anthropic's engineering blog, specifically on agent patterns
- — Patrick McKenzie on pricing and distribution
- — Working through Designing Data-Intensive Applications (again)
Thinking about
- — How to make solo-founder velocity legible to founding-engineer hiring panels.
- — Whether the right next product is a developer tool or a consumer app. Leaning developer tool.
- — Being a better father. Shipping and parenting have more in common than I expected.
Not doing
Contract work. Consulting gigs. Anything where the product doesn't matter to the people using it.
