👨👩👧👧 2X Girl Dad & Husband 💻 Software Engineer 🏁 Miata Enthusiast I write at 📍 Raleigh, NC 🇺🇸
A drop in spread sheet-style json db for React built with deepseek v4 flash for a whopping $ 0.10 cents. man this stuff is getting wild.
My youngest picked this for movie night and I’m pretty sure this was made as some money laundering or tax write off
Hot summer day in the Raleigh suburbs. Something physical in the world getting done, like mowing my grass, just hits different these days.
I'm working on releasing my own agent-native linting tool. This rule so far is easily my favorite:
My determinism-in-the-loop tool in full action. This is how I plan to get the very best output from cheap models (and hopefully fully local models too).
You build the checks like you would a CI. No edit lands unless it passes everything. It's like lefthook for every single agent write.
I've been building this tool for the last 3 months and using it myself the entire time. I gave it to 2 non-devs using claude code and left them alone for a month. I came back to find a project with 90+% test cov, perfect domain structure and it worked beautifully. I have no idea what to call it.
Together for 14 years, married for 5 years today ❤️ no clue how I got lucky enough to marry my best friend @thehauntedmary.bsky.social
Spent Father’s Day with my wife and kids back in my home state of Florida ❤️🐊 No AI for 9 whole days. It was bliss.
Our dogs haven’t seen each other in 9 days and they’re just vibing together on the couch.
Today is A/C conversion day for my Miata restoration project! I know, why even bother with A/C in a Miata?? This one is headed down to Florida as a wedding gift for my Mom!
When I die, my family is going to see a phone full of just photos like this.
3D printing will never not be magic to me. I needed some new BMW chassis floor plugs, so I modeled them real quick (no AI) in Fusion and printed a set. From "oh hey I need this plug" to "oh cool now I have this plug" in ~an hour. 🤯
