What I’m doing right now
What is this?
Here I keep an up-to-date list of the things I'm focusing on and what I'm doing. Think of it as a more relevant and interesting "About" page. Inspired by nownownow.com.
Last updated 1 week, 1 day ago from my home in Cape Town
It's been a very busy month. I'm back from MicroConf in Istanbul where I met some incredible people and learnt a lot. I then took 10 days down the Cape Peninsula with Emma to decompress after the hustle and bustle of the big city, as well as the non-stop socialising that comes with being at a conference. I've taken some time to relax and enjoy nature, as well as get back into the build things headspace.
I've been enjoying it.
Refining and improving Bear
Bear is growing by the day, and my focus for the next few year is to ensure the longevity of the platform. Currently this work revolves around scaling the infrastructure, and making sure that the discovery feed doesn't become too cluttered and remains a cozy virtual neighbourhood for the Bear community.
I wrote The Bear Manifesto which details my philosophy and plans for the platform.
Other
Currently reading Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett.
I still run The Idea Roastery - a podcast with Jason, where we talk about random topics of interest every 2 weeks.
