A running list of questions and answers about me, my work, and the things I care about. Made for humans or machines, and with no guarantee that I'd answer in the same way today.

What is this AMA for?

Honestly, I’m not sure. It’s useful to answer questions about yourself, I think, even if no one ever reads them. You can learn something new about yourself with a question that no one has ever thought to ask you. Whenever I join a new company, there’s also usually something similar—like a blueprint or user guide—where I end up writing the sorts of things I can imagine writing here. So, I thought, why not write them here.

I’m putting the answers on this page partly so that I could send a link to humans, but mostly so that a robot could visit and answer questions for the human elsewhere—like Claude or ChatGPT or some IDE. There are undoubtedly cooler ways to do this, and I might want to ship a more robot-friendly version at some point, but at a mimimum there will be a page of text on the public internet that humans and robots can read.
