Right now I'm thinking about agent loops.

All live. Have a click around.
01 · live
Stock analysis for people who don't read 10-Ks for fun.
Charts, fundamentals, a bit of opinion. Built for the friend who keeps asking me 'should I buy this'.
02 · live
A storefront of business ideas that probably shouldn't exist.
Unhinged, impossible-but-fun businesses dressed up as real products. One of them will be real one day. Probably the worst one.
03 · live
Secret Santa with exclusions baked in.
Add people, set exclusions (exes, siblings, whoever), hit send. Everyone gets a private email with their target.
04 · live
Daily planner with a brainstorm pad. No signup.
Data stays client side. Share a plan via an encoded link. Lightweight, made for quick notes and plans, pleasing to use.
05 · live
Kahoot clone. Multiplayer. Speed-based points.
Join with a code, answer in real time, points scale with how fast you go. Built it for a house party. Used it more than expected.
06 · in progress
Always something half-built in another tab. Ping me if you want a preview.
/ Now
The stuff that isn't public yet.
Consumer features on a comparison site you've seen on TV. Real users, real load.
Five live. A few more being built in the evenings. Pick one and I'll show you.
Courses, papers, hands-on agent work. The good stuff isn't in the tutorials.
Agent loops, evals, context windows. 1am tabs that turn into 9am demos.

/ How I work
Half my week is writing code manually on high-stakes client systems. The other half is orchestrating AI agents to deliver large features and epics. I've gone deep on prompt and context engineering through courses and a lot of hands-on experimentation.
Real code on real client systems. Reviews, tests, type checks. The work that has to be right.
Claude and friends, pointed at full epics with the prompts and context they need. Big features land in days, not weeks, when set up right.
Courses, papers, late-night sessions. I want to know where models fail, not just where they work.
