Image optimization from scratch!

One of the best ways to learn something is to try and build it from scratch. That's what I've attempted last year with image optimization. Instead of picking a third-party service, I built one from scratch... and open-sourced it! In this talk, we will live-code a simple image optimization HTTP handler and talk about the challenges I faced along the way.

Technical Leadership in the world of AI Coding Agents

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve really started using Devin for coding. I’ve been using it in some of my work at Convex. It’s an “AI Teammate” that can do coding tasks for you. I’ve been fairly impressed. It’s really piqued my interest for a variety of ways, but most interestingly in a philosophical way.
