Issue #21
Hi folks, it’s been a while.
Much has happened since the last update: I became a dad, I continue working on my apps and projects, and, yes, I still spend too much time playing with my flashlights. Anduril’s manual has seen some changes, so I’ve recently caught up on it to make sure it’s up-to-date. And, we’re now in this crazy world of AI sucking up the tech world. It’s a wild time!

Coding’s the Easy Part
“Computer programming is really about communication: communicating with the machine, yes, of course — but if you’re not just coding but making an app, as I am, it’s mostly about designing the app so that it communicates with the user. So that it’s easy to understand and fun to use.
Coding’s the easy part — making a useful app that people like is the challenge and is such a reward when it works. Like any other popular art form, it’s about connecting with humans.”
What I’m seeing with AI in March 2026
There’s been so much moving and shaking going on with AI and LLMs in tech. I thought I’d share some of my current perspective and what I’m seeing from my point of view.
As always, please reach out to me anytime to say hi. I love hearing from you all.
