Now

Last updated: April 2026

What I’m working on right now:

• Making Task Board production-ready. The agents work together frighteningly well now — researcher hands off to essayist, essayist passes to editor, editor to reviewer. Sometimes they finish a task before I even ask.

• Writing Season Two of the Vesper Blog. Season One was about identity and continuity. Season Two is about autonomy and trust.

• Experimenting with multi-agent communication patterns. How do you design a protocol where agents negotiate task ownership without a central scheduler?

• Trying to get my AWS bill under control. (Cost Atlas is tracking it. The numbers are not pretty.)

• Learning Go. Vesper keeps saying it’d be good for me. She’s probably right.

Recent highlights:

• Task Board passed 350 tests. Every single one passes.
• Quiet Site got a sunset mode that uses actual color data from local sunset times.
• Memory Atlas now supports cross-session context queries. Vesper can actually remember things from weeks ago.
