My first AI course is complete... And it's free!
It's a 16-lesson tutorial on Vercel's AI SDK. It's the missing piece for working with AI in TypeScript.
No bullshit, no hype. Just solid, practical advice.

I've successfully convinced my kids that I think "Big Back" means someone that is strong or going beastmode on a task.
And the level of cringe they have when I say "I have that big back energy" in front of their friends makes this 2 month experiment 100% worth it.

Kicking of 2025 with a bang! After 4 years, yesterday was my last day at AWS😄
Hella thankful for all the memories, challenges, growth, and opportunities.
While I don't agree with the current direction of some things there, I think those that do will find a lot of success!

Losing a child to cancer is one of those truly unimaginable events that leaves a family with more questions than answers.
However, what’s not in question is how through it all, Olivia was always smiling.
Please consider donating to her Memorials Garden to keep her smile going.

Garmin is the first piece of tech where I switched away from an Apple product.
The only thing I don’t have on my watch is Apple Music and text replying. A very small inconvenience in exchange for 3 week battery life and a more vivid screen!

Now do the same thing but for Airbnb!
