Hey X! I'm a current software engineer who's passionate about software and technology. I love building cool stuff and helping businesses grow! I plan on posting my journey with software development and entrepreneurship. Some things about me:
- Love all things outdoors, pickleball, and frolfing
- Am passionate about health + fitness (I am a carnivore!)
- Insanely curious and love to try new things
If you have any tips or advice for someone in my shoes, I would love to hear them and connect with you!

This is why Claude > Codex
We’re renaming our Max plans:
Max 5x → Max
Max 20x → Ultra
Max is still $100/month, and Ultra is still $200. If you’re a subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do.
We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing subscribers. Newer accounts keep a temporary limit until they’re verified, which helps us prevent fraud and abuse. You'll get an email when it's removed.
Weekly limits remain unchanged. View our plans here: claude.com/pricing

Something I’ve found useful while having Claude fix a bug for me is telling it to make the smallest change possible.
Yesterday it tried touching frontend and backend
The bug was fixed, but I later discovered only the code on the frontend was necessary.
If I were to have accepted both edits it would have led to unnecessary changes, more time testing, and a higher risk for regression.
Even when it’s tempting to just accept what Claude gives you, be sure to always question whether the code really belongs, or if it’s just noise.

Nothing like working from the rooftop on a sunny day!
It’s always good to get outside at least once a week 🤣

Honestly not sure what I would do without Grok Bot! I've got a couple employee bots:
- Ponytail: My lazy yet effective senior engineer
- Junior: My cocky junior engineer that fixes bugs
- Chad: My sales and outreach guy

One of the most important things founders should realize is the power of the pivot.
Take a look at Cursor’s founders for example.
They started out with CAD software using AI and it completely flopped.
Then they pivoted to something else: an AI code editor.
Every single one of them became a billionaire 3 years later.
Imagine what would’ve happened if they kept trying the same thing.
The hardest but most rewarding decision is realizing when something isn’t working and trying something new.

Time to shoot content for one of my clients!
I used to think marketing was boring, but now I actually kinda like it!

Is vibe coding still worth it?
As a software engineer who still reviews, tests, and writes code after AI does its thing, I can’t see myself just launching an app without touching code.
Especially if you want to build something safe and scalable I’m curious how non-technical people handle that 🤔

R.I.P. Ugsee.

It was fun to build and I learned a lot about marketing and sales.
I just don’t think the niche UGC market has a need for another productivity web app.
Gonna be building some other stuff and seeing where that takes me!
P.S. I can always come back later, but this just doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere 🤣

Grok bot is my favorite tool now. Lately, I’ve been using it for:
- Getting outbound leads
- Research
- Refactoring code
- E2E testing

Ugsee update: light on building/marketing lately. However, as I dig into what UGC creators actually struggle with, admin time looks like the smallest problem on the list.
Starting to wonder if I should pivot or build something else entirely.

Building with Postgres, Prisma, TypeScript, Supabase, and Next.js is the quickest way to get an MVP. Prove me wrong.
I rarely see vibe coders using MySQL.
MongoDB? Almost never.
SQLite? Not really.
Oracle? Nope.
DynamoDB? Haven’t seen it.
Cassandra? Same story.
Vibe coding is basically:
Next.js + Tailwind + Postgres + Claude

My buddy wants to buy a Porsche so we took this one for a spin and it was 🔥
German cars > any other car
