An old note I just ran across: Shinzen Young notes that there are a lot of thoughts in your brain, and they’re all competing for attention—all trying to come to the surface to get your attention. So it’s natural that when you meditate and the front-most thoughts subside, all…

Working with a different technology stack for the last month has given me hope that there’s still at least a small market for programming books. Even though I’ve been writing code almost daily with an assist from A.I. tools, asking constant questions as I go along, there’s…


During recent job interviews, people ask if I write tests. Why yes, I do. Even though “Back To Now” is currently a little app, it has over 200 unit tests & counting, so Claude and I can keep going as fast as possible every day: apps.apple.com/us/app/back-to…

Here’s a short demo of the slideshow feature. apps.apple.com/us/app/back-to…

If you’re interested in #mindfulness, I created Back To Now as a “mindfulness reminder” app. Just add your favorite quotes and images, set up a schedule, and it sends you custom reminders. Some friends like the slideshow feature even more. apps.apple.com/us/app/back-to…

A man in his 80s asked me to ghostwrite a letter to a woman he met at church. Now they have a date this week. I’m not sure if I’m a hopeless romantic or starting a niche side hustle. :)


Okay, I just wrapped up some small projects and I’m ready to go back to work full time! Anyone need some Scala or maybe some technical writing? (There’s a reason I didn’t go into sales or marketing. 😂)

One Sunday many moons ago I was working at a client site and thought I was alone, and was playing a Led Zeppelin song ridiculously loud as I worked. Then a security guard came in and yelled that he could hear it all the way down the hallway, and I yelled back, “It’s great,…

A great thing about learning #Scala is that it has every feature you’d want in a programming language, and those features are generally implemented in a logical, consistent manner. So when you work in another language, it’s just a matter of translating that feature back to what…

Alaska was an amazing place to work, because during the summer you’re awake 20 hours a day, and during the winter it’s dark all the time, so you’re like, “I guess I’ll just stay in, make some coffee and fresh-baked cookies, and write a book.” :)

A thing I love about ZIO HTTP is that a server-side application is just a map of (a) route patterns to (b) their handlers, where each entry is essentially just a function from a Request to a Response. #scala #functionalprogramming
