Over the past 6 months I've transitioned my entire dev workflow over to agentic engineering.

I'm near-sighted and worn glasses ~daily for the past decade or so.

I've been using AI to revive some of my old projects the latest of which is CloudCompare, a simple cloud comparison tool for server, object, and egress pricing.

I'm finally feeling back up to speed at work after returning from my parental leave.

AI agents have been getting a lot of hype for how good they are at coding.

I've been experimenting with GPT 5.6 + OpenCode for the past couple weeks, running GPT 5.6 Sol through OpenAI's $100/month ChatGPT Pro (5x) plan.

GPT 5.6 came out several weeks ago and the initial benchmarks look good - capable, fast, and cheap.

I've been leaning into agentic engineering for the past six months, and I've finally hit my stride at work after coming back from parental leave.

TL;DR - In 2026.H1, I started feeling like a real dad, took parental leave, went to a programming retreat, shipped CloudSeed Rust + QuietCut, reached 130k views, got back to building for fun, and star...

I've been back at work for about a month now after parental leave and a 12 week programming retreat at Recurse Center.

I've been running a new meditation practice for the past several months and it's working great so wanted to share.

TL;DR - A game where you get $1 trillion of Elon Musk's money and spend it.

TL;DR - A dashboard visualizing your GoodReads data export.

I've always been a quiet person who prefers to write than to talk (though this may not be obvious based on the number of YouTube videos I've published).

For the past few weeks I've been using Claude Code from my phone and while it's not a 100% replacement for something like OpenClaw I've found it covers 80% of what I want without too many glaring secu...

I've been using AI to try and automate / optimize parts of my life from software engineering to exercise and diet.

Agentic engineering is the future.

I get this question a lot so wanted to summarize what I've been up to all in one place.

For the past couple months I've been writing High-Level Rust which gives ~80% of its benefits with ~20% of its pain.

For the past several months I've been searching for the Missing Programming Language - a language with a good balance of types, performance, ecosystem, and agentic AI performance.

We recently went on a 9 day trip to Japan.

For the past several years I've been building server-side rendered apps using hypermedia libraries like HTMX and Datastar to sprinkle in interactivity where it's useful.

TL;DR - In 2026.Q1 I participated in a 12-week programming retreat, published my 1,000th blog post, started building with Rust, solidified my agentic engineering workflows, shipped my first game, star...

In this post we'll be building a fullstack web app with server-side rendered (SSR) HTML using Rust and Maud.

I just finished my 12-week programming retreat at Recurse Center.
