The Leap

Published: December 12, 2025 20:47

I’ve been thinking lately that it might be one of the most exciting times to be a curious person. I’ve been in the tech space for 20+ years now, and there was always this pattern: you’d have an idea, get excited, and then hit a wall. You’d need to learn to…

one time someone gave me a compliment that ā€œ[my iOS app’s] sheet physics were perfectā€ (if you know, you know) i was flattered, but the truth was actually cooler than mimicking the physics perfectly. The Challenge with iOS Sheets iOS devs have had a…

My Next Chapter

Published: May 16, 2025 16:00

Three years ago, I joined a scrappy Series A startup named Commonstock, embarking on a journey full of twists and turns that I never could have anticipated. We navigated the sudden run on SVB (our bank at the time), the dramatic end of the ZIRP era, and…

First Rule of Blogging

Published: May 11, 2025 16:38

The first rule of blogging is that if you ever write about: Recommitting to regular posting, or How much easier your new blogging setup makes posting, …you’re guaranteed to abandon your blog for months. At least, that’s always been my experience šŸ™ƒ The…
