What I'm on right now.

Not the highlight reel — the current log. What's in my editor, on my nightstand, and stuck in my head this week.

01 ◆ Building

  1. Clarity — strategic intelligence platform

    Hundreds of newsletters a week → six daily briefings tailored to what I actually care about. The LLM pipeline, the caching layer, the Postgres schema, the editorial voice — I built the whole thing.

    promitb.dev is the public window into it.

  2. WhisperFlow — macOS menu bar dictation

    Local Whisper + Bedrock post-processing. Swift 6, SwiftPM. I talk to my computer more than I type now.

  3. 1Code — my own code assistant

    Electron + Bun + Drizzle. What GPT-5.5 should've been, for how I actually code.

02 ◆ Reading

  1. Designing Data-Intensive Applications · 2nd ed

    Kleppmann's follow-up. My copy is highlighted to the point of uselessness. I still learn something every chapter.

  2. Anthropic's interpretability research

    The Sparse Autoencoder + Dictionary Learning papers. If you're building with AI and not reading this, you're missing the most important work of the decade.

03 ◆ Thinking

  1. Agent sandbox isolation as a first-class design problem

    The Replit incident proved it. Every agent deployment from here on should start from a blast-radius diagram, not a prompt.

  2. When to let the LLM drive, when to make it a passenger

    Most products bolt AI on. The best ones reshape the workflow so the model is in the driver seat for the parts it's good at, and locked out of everywhere it isn't.

04 ◆ Wrestling

  1. The tradeoff between editorial voice and automation

    Clarity's quality comes from good prompts AND from me editing the outputs. The more I automate, the more obvious the seams. Still looking for the balance.

05 ◆ Learning

  1. Rust for systems-grade AI inference work

    Most of my current code is TypeScript and Python. Rust is the next stop — I want to understand the inference stack at the layer below Python.
