At work, most of my attention is on quick commerce: fulfilment and seller systems that have to behave when demand is spiky and delivery windows are measured in minutes rather than days. Compressing a promise from two days to twenty minutes removes most of the slack that used to hide our mistakes, which has been a useful and occasionally uncomfortable education.

The other preoccupation is getting AI-assisted development to stick across a large team. We've built a few genuinely useful things this way, including agents for operations work and an MCP server for sellers, and the gain isn't typing speed, it's how much context you can hold while making a change. Some of these habits will survive the year; I don't yet know which.

This is a now page: what I'd tell you if we hadn't spoken in a year.
