I learned a ton building an AI chatbot (knuman.ai) and here's the stack I found worked for me:
- Cloudflare Pages and Workers
- Supabase
- Expo
- Gemini w/grounding and function calls

It also made me realize:
- Being AI-first means your stack is going to be very different
- Full-stack engineers (i.e. generalists) will rise to the top
- Engineering leaders to be technical and hands-on

Even the greatest companies launched what we now see as ugly websites. From Amazon to Airbnb to Uber, they put themselves out there early to get real feedback. This can be daunting, but I'm ripping off the bandaid so I can just get to building and solving problem!

Will AI replace software engineers? I believe the future lies in collaboration between humans and AI. My new article explores this optimistic view and what it means for the industry. Let's build the future together!

InstaCart will IPO at $9.3B. Check out our deep dive into their business.
Fun fact: Even though InstaCart is 40% more expensive than grocery stores, they have 56% year 1 user retention!
Congrats to all my friends at/from Instacart. Well done! 🔥

This is bad advice, especially if you're qualified. The cold applicant stream is 99% garbage, so you'll get lost in there. If you're a solid candidate, make yourself stand out. Reach out directly to the hiring manager or get referred.

To every trans kid in Texas:
You're amazing. I'm proud of you.
You belong right here in Texas, and I'll fight for you to live freely as yourself and free from discrimination.
