Friday night project: hacking on my personal website. I’m a beginner at modern web dev, but with a few prompts in Claude Code I built a clean project carousel in minutes. AI is such a game-changer for side projects.

The market doesn't always price companies correctly. That's where value investors thrive.

Continuing to learn what is possible with SwiftUI navigation toolbars, tab bars, scrolling, and hiding of elements. Here is another example of hiding toolbar icons in a navigation bar when scrolling. This time, the icons are hidden by changing opacity. #Swift #SwiftUI

“Measure What Matters” has been an interesting read. Learning about how Intel, Google, and others use OKRs to transform & guide their businesses. Whether you agree with the OKR approach or not, I think setting goals to help your organization, project, or personal self succeed is a good practice.
