Make rent.
Help others do the same.

looking for somewhere to build. if you're hiring remote product engineering folks, let's chat!
~14 years of professional experience.
not very t-shaped.
super comfortable wearing many (and any) hats.
super bad at keeping product opinions to myself.
love talking to customers.

'had to use violence, but' is a fun qualifier for tinkering.

missing @nazzari's 'open to work' post this week. it gets growing builders on my radar. sometimes it means I buy the sickest merch (@benjaminakar).
AND I get to silently judge teams with cringe shit in their job reqs!?
(hope speedrun demos and surrounding stuff is rad, Bella!)

amp folks continue to know exactly what i want, often before i do.

GPT-5.4 now powers Amp’s deep mode.
Out of the box it talked too much for what we want, so we tuned it to act more like Codex: a model that goes off, reads, thinks, and comes back with work done.
Try deep^3. Or deep if you’re feeling impatient.

disagreeing with @AmpCode review (rare), has turned into a strong indicator i've found something to add to my agents.md.
(usually stuff i'm wrong but stubborn about, probably.)

my primary aspiration is to be like. a third as cool as the folks builing @AmpCode. they're SO fucking cool. i bet they smoke cigarettes and fist fight whoever they want. and do all kinds of other cool stuff.
smart folks shouldn't be allowed to have this much taste. smdh.

We believe the coding agent is dead.
Soon, Amp will look very different.

gamedev stack:
typescript, obviously.
bun, biome, vite, and vitest. (electron).
then whatever framework / libraries you want.
i'm a @PixiJS enjoyer and should probably pay them.
then use new best font, Geist Pixel Square from @evilrabbit_ to earn bonus pretzels. 🥨.

steak and eggs breakfast. teenager likes the game prototype i'm working on. few massive refactor PRs already in this morning.
we're having a day over here.
tangentially:
my wife is out of town and hates valentine's day.
so obviously i left candy in the 'gifts for my wife' bag.

using @AmpCode review as an extra feedback layer in every agent i'm running. amp itself, cc, codex, my own slim agent, etc. and it's pretty incredible.
maybe underutilizing checks? but i've got it earmarked for more exploration.

great reminder that i'm overdue for a 'Shape Up' reread. Right after I finish struggle-bussing through my Structure reread.
(🤘hell yeah physical books.)
