Hi there
Software engineer writing about side projects, developer tools, and lessons learned along the way.
I spend more time writing instructions for my AI than writing code. It changed how I work.
How I turned Claude Code from an eager intern into a real dev partner — layer by layer, failure by failure.
I just wanted to track my budget. I ended up shipping an open-source app.
The honest story of a side project that died, came back, and taught me more than I expected.
