Life

Personal reflections, yearly reviews, goals, and lessons learned as a full-time independent hacker.

A hacker house, AI does the recon now, and dup land

This year's hacker house: same crew, a villa in the south, and the first time we all met up since Claude landed in our lives. Now we all just point it at the scope, and we all surface the same bugs. The trip, the new hunting setup, and a whole lot of duplicates.

Minimal productivity, switching to Hermes, and building Onyx

Last week I talked about fake productivity, and I'm still in it. But it made me think about the tools that actually work. This week: why I went back to a simple pomodoro timer, the agent platform switch that finally stuck, and how my voice-controlled Jarvis keeps getting better.

Why pentests still matter in the AI era, what I learned from an upcoming TV interview about the bubble we live in, and the projects I've dropped along the way.
