Now

What I'm doing now

A snapshot of what has my attention this month — in the tradition of /now pages. Updated when things change, not on a fixed schedule.

Last updated: May 23, 2026

Building

Learning

  • Rust ownership and lifetimes — deeper than "I can read it"
  • Tauri 2.0 internals — IPC, plugin system, packaging on Windows + macOS
  • Workflow automation patterns — turning repeat tasks into Claude CLI + scripted pipelines

Reading & Following

  • r/webdev, r/nextjs, r/rust, r/woocommerce on Reddit — for real-world threads, not curated content
  • LinkedIn posts from senior engineers and founders in the e-commerce / dev tooling space
  • Release notes and GitHub discussions for the tools I ship with (Next.js, Tauri, WooCommerce)

Off-keyboard

  • Mountain biking — hitting trails and exploring terrain on two wheels
  • Bodyweight & core training — pushups, pull-ups, planks, squats, calf raises (no gym)
  • Nintendo Switch OLED when the build queue is clear — Pokémon Mystery Dungeon DX, Pokémon FireRed, Pokémon UNITE, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4: Road to Boruto
  • Choir service — Tenor 2 in the Catholic Church choir
  • DeFi and staking — exploring protocols and passive-income setups on the side
