I put getpinchpoint.com on the shelf for a bit. The app is 95% done, but that last 5% is a beast. I ran into some friction with payments and subscriptions and started adding a bunch of scope creep. I’ve been having fun hacking on smaller projects in the meantime.
I participated in a hackathon at work where we built several agents for the app. I had a great time, and I’ve been going down the AI Engineering rabbit hole since. It’s a lot of fun and more approachable than I originally thought.

We took the girls to the strawberry farm last weekend, and they picked a quarter bushel of strawberries, which I turned into some delicious jam.
