My Things

Weeknotes w/c 07/10

  • For the first time in my adult life, I took a bonafide job role at the beginning of this year. I’ve subsequently learned how much I value entrepreneurship and building for myself, and so will be returning back to the world of venture building in September.
  • This comment on HN really resonated with me, because it captures a lot of lived experience. Domain understanding and clarity of vision are what drives productivity, not coding prowess.
  • I’m very bullish on Bun, and it’s awesome to see that Fly.io is too. Bun is the closest thing to a native TS runtime, and I think it could be the runtime of the next truely RAD stack.
  • On that note, I ran rails new for the first time in five years. The React & Node ecosystems of late have left me craving an environment based on consistency and consensus.
