Learning Log, March 2026

Where my attention flowed in March 2026

Life~Work

Life: Celebrated an anniversary. Upgraded a family member from an iPhone 6S(!) to an iPhone 17e, and the running bug is definitely biting. I hit my first-ever 5k in February and finished two more this month.

Work: I had a trip to New York that was ‘perfectly’ aligned with the TSA funding lapse that drove long security lines and flight delays. My flight out was canceled due to an accident at LGA the night before. Once I made it to New York, it was great to catch up with colleagues in person and the weather was lovely—perfect for drinks on the rooftop. I was also part of a small group invited to join AI for Product Designers, a course by Xinran Ma. Enjoyed it, but I still prefer Claude.

Projects

  • Built and launched a mobile-optimized bracket tracker for our family March Madness pool. It was fun to make something that solved for such a specific use-case. I learned how to work with Firebase for the backend, and have ideas for how to improve the UI for next year.
  • Scaling AI tooling was a big focus at work this month. I’ve been leaning into a prototype-first workflow and helping others do the same. It’s been inspiring to see how different people apply the tools to their projects, especially their personal projects.

Other reading

  • Software Bonkers — by Craig Mod – Craig Mod’s account of how Claude Code is changing how he thinks about software, especially software tailored to his unique needs. I don’t think this will be something that appeals to everyone in the near future, but I’m curious where it goes.
  • “This Is Not The Computer For You” · Sam Henri Gold – on the new MacBook Neo and seeing computing through fresh eyes. Worth reading if it didn’t already cross your radar.
