I'm a software developer based in Northern California. I enjoy writing about software, design, dad jokes, and cheap beer. I like building for the web, open source, learning new things, and professional wrestling. I enjoy writing about my adventures in software and the things I'm currently working on, exploring new technologies, and convincing people that PHP is, in fact, not completely dead yet.

Thoughts on stuff

Vibe coding with Cursor on a Laravel project recently, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. The codegen is nice to get a feature off the ground. The tradeoff is watching it spin its wheels when I ask it to write Pest tests that also cover mutations. Seems to just code itself into circles.
