Coding by hand today for the first time in 2026 on a Sunday morning. It's surprisingly bizarre and fun. Feel free to code review. 🤣

Ooops, I think I automated myself out of an amazing 3.5-year ride at ClickFunnels. 😅
Today was my last day and, as with all endings, my first question is: what's next? Which AI-centered team needs someone who enjoys product work, community work, wears different hats (sometimes quite literally), can still read PRs and assess them with a sharp product focus, but lets AI write (and, frankly, often rewrite) the code?
If that sounds like your team, or you know one, I’d love an intro :)

I don't know, man. I've seen a Spanish dude with a newspaper in the sauna. Since then, I think everything is possible.

Why video QA is better than screenshot-based or text-report QA. True story, the bots are gonna lie to you. It's gotten much better over the months and years, but it's still true.

If you are one of those engineers who are craving back the art of engineering now that you don't write code anymore (and don't care about it for certain types of products), owning your agent through Pi could restore the spirits. Pi Durable is the next evolution of this: It's separate from the Pi harness right now, but gives your agents a persistence layer to be run (and killed) anywhere anytime.
