About

Hey, I’m Jye. I write code and occasionally words.

I got to ride the fintech rocket at Avoka until the acquisition, now building Nitric because I got tired of writing the same cloud boilerplate over and over.

What ends up here

This blog is just me working through whatever’s in my head. Usually that means:

• Distributed systems that actually work in production
• Developer tools that don’t make me want to quit programming
• Local-first architecture because waiting for servers is so 2010
• Programming paradigms that make me unreasonably happy
• Random observations from building software for 15+ years

Currently obsessed with

Local-first development patterns (blame Linear for setting the bar impossibly high), and why most “best practices” are just expensive ways to procrastinate.

Fair warning: I get unreasonably excited about boring infrastructure problems.
