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.

I celebrated my 34th birthday with a mid-2000s themed party. It was a lovely time full of good homies, cake, helium balloons, and great vibes. We even had a piñata! I'm so happy to have these special people in my life, and look forward to the next year with them all.

Defending Bear
Autonomous agents are becoming a problem on the internet, and my job is now combatting them at scale (blocked 3.5m malicious web requests in the past 24 hours). This is a combination of vulnerability scanning, data scraping, and bots trying to slopify the platform. It is unfortunate that the internet has become so hostile, but I'm prepared to engage in this arms race until the bitter end.
The Bear Manifesto outlines my philosophy and plans for the platform.
