Engineering is the intersection of Curiosity and Capability
When your curiosity outstrips your capability, you expand your capability and grow
When your capability expands, it allows you to see farther and grows your curiosity
Don't allow your tools take away both your Curiosity and Capability

Brands are now actively producing and posting content online with the goal of biasing generative AI large-language models in their favor.
The goal is to have LLMs “list our brands in the way that we desire”, one brand marketer put it.

In the last 10 years, I’ve had a growing interest in making Python development more effective. I’ve learned that a lot of teams don’t make the best use of the tooling available to use.
This has culminated with writing an ebook on developer tooling I’m excited to share with you.

ATProto makes programming fun again. Here's a side project I did over the holidays, a small app that surfaces the 10 latest links to GitHub repos from the network. I learned a ton, including Go, Javascript, and a lot about websockets
