A /now page, in the Derek Sivers sense — a snapshot of current work, not a news feed.

Working on in-tenant agent pipelines inside a regional health system. The fun part is the eval harness; the hard part is the access review.

Learning faster than I'm forgetting. Reading Leptos source for fun. Reading rig.rs source when I have to. The agentic stack churns hard — half of last spring's libraries are noise now, half of last spring's noise is load-bearing. The skill that compounds is reading code under deadline. Not reading hot takes.

Thinking about how much of an agent's value lives in the tool schema versus the model choice. Early answer: more than I expected.

Avoiding: anything that tries to solve agent reliability with a bigger prompt. The answer is not in the prompt. The answer is in the state machine.

Side project: this site, built on Verve — the pure-Zig web framework I wrote. Owning the framework has taught me more about Zig comptime than I planned to learn.

Off the keyboard. Wife and kids first; the work waits. A Rochester winter, then a Rochester thaw. Fishing the Mississippi. Hiking up north when the leaves turn. Slow coffee. Boring on purpose.
