Generative OG Images
I made all my posts standard.site compatible last weekend, which means I can write in pckt.blog, Leaflet, or Offprint and have the post show up on keith.is. This is my first one from pckt 🎉 🎉 🎉!! I'd been using a combination of Tina, and just writing in my editor. Then I went to share one of those posts on bluesky to see the cool new embed and saw that.... and my old OG image. I think I spent fifteen minutes on it once when I migrated from eleventy to Astro, gave it some bright colors and a shap...

You Are The Driver (The AI Is Just Typing)
I've been using AI coding agents daily for a few months, and the thing that shifted my thinking was a simple reframe: LLMs automate typing, not thinking. The craft is still yours.

Building Tools for the Safety Net: My Year in Propel's AI Residency
After discovering I'm definitely not a "growth team" person and watching Glitch wind down, I'm back in civic tech where I belong, this time in an AI Residency at Propel. We're building tools to help states and SNAP beneficiaries navigate HR1's massive changes, including new penalties that charge states more money for higher error rates. During the recent shutdown, I built crawlers to get real-time benefit updates to people and created the most comprehensive database of active food pantries using AI tools. The work isn't the AI that gets TED talks. It's the kind that keeps benefits from being wrongly terminated because a system finally understood that gig work counts as employment.

Three Months at Handshake!
After three months at Handshake, I made great friends, worked with talented early career engineers, and discovered that being on a growth team wasn't for me. I'm a thoughtful, document-everything kind of engineer, not a move-fast type, and the fit wasn't there. This post reflects on what worked, what didn't, and the lessons I'm taking forward about vetting opportunities and knowing your own work style.

You should blog
I miss the internet where everything wasn't fed to me in an 'for you' page. I hope you'll all join me on being a little less self conscious about what I put on the internet in 2024.

Paving the way for Micro Transactions
Part one in a series of posts on building Subeta, an early virtual pet game I made as a teenager. Subeta was also one of the first pioneers of what is now called micro-transactions, but to me it was just getting quarters in the mail to pay for something I loved making.
