you know in the show "silicon valley" when richard realizes that the system started removing spaces because it was self-optimizing.
Idk if I'm crazy or not, but i've been seeing MSFT apps doing this a lot more as of late -- mostly when moving text from one msft app to another (e.g., powerpoint to teams)

I started an LLC last year to protect some of the work and money I was making. My first time, but it felt like something I needed to do.
This morning, I started on paperwork... turns out I'm going to end up paying ~2x in legal/filing/taxes/fees as I made in 2025.
I hate this shit.

First Project: Learning AI Course/Platform
I've been passively working on this idea for like 2-3 weeks after a colleague asked me, "How do I get started learning about AI?"
I get that question a lot, and rather than crafting a custom answer each time, I made something I can send to folks so they can choose their own adventure.
So, I took my running list of resources and info, dumped them into Claude, and asked to build a website where people could learn everything about AI in their everyday lives.
The current version has 9 modules (~10hr of lessons), 100+ resources, 400+ prompt library, and a bunch of other odds and ends -- all for free (for now idk)
I would share, but I'd def dox myself -- If you're interested, let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

one of my goals for 2026 is to vibe code one new thing each week.
some will be onchain projects, most will be professional/consulting focused (with some fun stuff peppered in).
probably going to cost me a fortune, but I reckon this is a good way of learning.
let make something neat this year, eh?
