Now

What I'm spending my time on these days. Idea borrowed from nownownow.com.

Last updated

Day job

  • Building cloud backend services at Ubiquiti in Go on AWS. Lately that's mostly permission systems and async event processing.

Side projects

  • Cleaning up my Claude Code setup (memory, hooks, guard scripts) so I can open-source it as a starter kit.
  • My content pipeline. It pulls from 100+ sources, has Claude score the ideas, and drafts posts into Notion.
  • Lawsome, a legal tech product built on AI.

Writing

  • Moved this site to Astro and redesigned it.
  • Getting the newsletter ready.
  • Posting on Threads in Chinese and on LinkedIn in English most weeks.

Learning

  • How to judge changes written by AI agents. Speed is easy to measure. Whether the change is any good is harder.

Not doing (for now)

  • No YouTube or X for now. I'd rather get the newsletter going first.

Notes from the terminal

About every other week: something I tried with AI agents at work, whether it held up, and the config if you want to try it yourself. Short enough to finish with one coffee.

Follow on Threads

The newsletter hasn't started yet. Follow me on Threads and I'll post there when issue #1 is out.
