Now

Last updated: March 1, 2026

This is a now page. It tells you what I’m currently focused on.

Working On

• Building and maintaining software as a full-stack engineer
• Writing about what I’m learning on this blog
• IRL2 (which is an homage to sf0 and can still be found online, though decaying)

Learning

• Deepening my Ruby and Rails expertise
• Exploring new tools and workflows
• Context window management and/or Context Engineering

Reading

• (What are you currently reading?)
• Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller (Read + audiobook simultaneously)
• Composition of Outdoor Painting by Edgar Payne
• Mythical Man Month
• Design Patterns in Ruby: If LLMs/agents are good at identifying patterns, then I want to be good at telling them to write patterns

Outside of Work

• (What else is going on?)
• Considering relocation…
• Cooking a lot of food
• Walking/training my dog Oakley
• Oil painting class

Amuse-bouche

• SomaFM.com: I’m partial to the DroneZone, or the SF 10-33 channel
