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.

Despite some ups and downs this year (so far), it's been great. We were almost flooded in, in Hoedspruit during a 100-year storm, spent some time in Dullstroom (which is lovely), and have generally enjoyed the slow transition from summer to autumn.
I did my first 10km race as part of training for a 60km (30km over two days) trail run I'm doing in the Drakensberg in May.
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.
Autonomous agents are becoming a problem on the internet, and my job has had to evolve to combatting them at scale from slopifying the platform.
Other
I'm currently reading The Truth by Terry Pratchett.
I still run The Idea Roastery - a podcast with Jason, where we talk about random topics of interest every 2 weeks.
