We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
This isn’t a new phenomenon
We're living in a horrifying, fascinating new era of Silicon Valley where:
1. You can build a startup in 9 months, get acquired (but rly acquihired) by OpenAI, Anthropic, or Cognition, and walk away a multi-millionaire
2. You can join the right company at 22 and become effectively post-economic
And I don't think we've even begun to grapple with the degree to which this is warping an entire generation's relationship with money, ambition, work, and success.
When your peers are making generational wealth before 25, what does a normal career even look like anymore
This is a great use case for Passkeys and is honestly one of the best articles I've read teaching you the basics of how Passkeys work
Found this pattern useful for a couple personal projects, figured I'd take the opportunity to publish as the first post on my site.

We have Astra and Fable but we still have to put our seats upright for takeoff and landing on an airplane.
great day with the @OpenAIDevs crew at Dev Day today.

just realized I get to watch @jordihays @johncoogan and the @TBN crew live today at OpenAI Dev Day. this might be the highlight!
been underwater starting a new gig. up for air today though.
just arrived in SF for oai Dev Day tomorrow.
if you see this and want to catch up, let me know!
horrible take
Open Source is the antidote not the problem
We're used to thinking of open-source models as an unadulterated good. But in the case of AI, they can actually pose additional dangers, as @ReidHoffman and I got into at #CGI2026. I appreciated this nuanced discussion.
