I build products, not stacks. TypeScript when it fits, Python when it doesn't, firmware when the thing has to blink. AI writes a lot of the code; the judgment is the part I keep.

How coding agents actually behave under the hood — event lifecycles, retries, context compaction. And how to make a piece of hardware feel less like hardware.

Two things: bot-reborn, a desk robot you give a character and a voice, and a personal AI assistant that handles my own work before it handles anyone else's.

Comparing notes with people building AI assistants, or putting AI into hardware someone has to live with. I'd rather talk product decisions than pull requests.
