Spent some time reviewing one of my side projects.
Building features is fun, but making sure everything works consistently is where things get interesting.
Small improvements, better foundations.
Sometimes the boring system that has been running for years knows more about the business than we realize.
Modernizing is important. Understanding what you’re replacing is even more important.
#SoftwareEngineering
Shipped a new solution in Appian today, definitely outside my usual comfort zone.
It was a good reminder that engineering goes far beyond the stack you know best.
Understand the problem, follow the flow, debug the integrations, learn what you need, and make it work.
#Software
One of the best things about building your own apps is become the user.
You quickly stop caring about “cool features” and start noticing the small friction points that actually matter.
Back on X after a long time
I’ve been quietly building apps, experimenting with AI-assisted development, and learning a lot along the way.
I just want to share more of what I’m learning, talk about software, exchange ideas, and connect with people building interesting things.
