I started a new "Applied AI" series on my blog.

I'm focusing on finding ways to use these tools in ways that provide real value.

What hurts more than a layoff? A reorg that leaves you wondering if your work (and your identity) still matter

Wrote a lot of thoughts on junior developers, AI, and what I strongly feel is going to become the defining challenge of our industry's next generation.

When my GPS goes awry in Atlanta, I sometimes panic because I'm not sure where to go. I'm not proud of it, but I'm also not alone. Neuroscientists have identified a link between GPS usage and memory.

AI was supposed to make us more efficient.

Instead, it’s fragmenting our workflows, bloating our calendars, and burning out high performers.

I wrote about the false promise of AI productivity and why we’re actually working harder than ever:

AI promised efficiency. Instead, it’s making us work harder.
AI tools were supposed to free up our time—but they’re increasing our cognitive load and making us less productive. Here’s what’s really happening (and how to use them without burning out).

Kotlin coroutines are great. Their core primitive is the suspending function. With a small change in your IDE settings, you can give them a custom color (like a bright green), which makes it easy to spot them at a glance, even when you're looking at a lot of code.
