Tech: AI is everywhere but should you put it there?
2026-03-24
You can't ignore it any longer, professionally speaking. One of the frustrating engineering decisions I've been seeing are businesses integrating AI features into their products without pausing to think about the user experience. Everyone wants to market their product as "AI enabled" or "powered by AI" to stay relevant but that mindset is not likely to translate well into success in the long term. Be purposeful and think ahead about how you integrate AI and ensure that it doesn't get in the way of your user's experience. Adding functionality just so you can say it's there doesn't mean it's the most efficient way for your user to accomplish the task.

Tech: Made from scratch

After considering any number of blogging solutions, I made the decision to build my own from scratch. Is it reinventing the wheel? When the wheel is reporting your driving habits without you knowing then maybe a new wheel is the answer.
Tech: Feeling nostalgic
2025-11-27
I feel like so much has been lost in the evolution of social network platforms. Not so much in features or the publishing tools they offer but with the disregard for privacy or usability in general and ideas over content ownership. There's really no reason to never see content from someone you follow or subscribe to on a platform.
Scan content for email addresses and create a formatted list of addresses.
Use to manage materials, quality, and service for an organization. Track inventory, part usage, service history, and more.
Track childcare for a home-based service or small business. Manage care on a schedule, track notes for care provided, and additional features.
