Now

This is a /now page. Here's what I'm focused on right now.

Building

Spending a lot of time vibe coding — using Claude and Cursor to prototype things quickly. Mostly small tools and scripts. Recently been messing around with network visualization ideas and home lab automation. Nothing I'd call finished yet, but the process is fun.

Tinkering

Trying out different terminal emulators and CLI tools. Also comparing AI coding assistants to see how they handle real project work, not just demos. I like reviewing tools I actually use day-to-day.

Playing

Always have something going. Lately it's been a mix of strategy and roguelikes. Gaming is how I got into computers in the first place, and it's still how I unwind.

Reading

Keeping up with engineering blogs and RSS feeds. Interested in networking, infrastructure, and how companies build distributed systems. The kind of stuff most people don't think about but that makes everything work.
