Programming

Over the last few weeks, I’ve become the product leader of a small organization, directing a team of top-notch, highly-independent engineers…. I’m commanding a fleet of Claude Code agents.

2025 was the year of agentic coding for me. Perhaps the first of many. I tried out Claude Code in June and then subscribed to Cursor soon after. Since then, I’ve been using both frequently. I’ve got some thoughts.

This last week I visited Portland with some friends. I had some tremendous coffee, good food, and interesting long runs (using some new shoes!). But the main thing on my mind has been AI coding agents…

It took two years, but I finally finished building an interpreter.

Probably once a year, I end up back in the same discussion about timezones. I don’t like timezones and apparently I bring that up a lot. The Usual Griping Programmers’ hatred for timezones is a bit of a meme. (I just googled “xkcd timezones” with absolute confidence there would be a comic, and of course I was right.) Computer systems don’t play nice with different times across the world. If I run a retail website, “weekend” sales should begin Saturday morning and end Sunday evening your time, even if it happens to mean that’s not the weekend where I am.
