Hi, I'm Jacob.
I'm a Software Engineer, Web Developer, and recovering artist. I've been building stuff on the web for a decade, and still love crafting exceptional user experiences. Currently, I'm a Software Engineer at Stylitics. I'm also a maintainer of a number of open source projects, including the Counterscale analytics project.

okay I'm sick of seeing all of the misinformation being spread about LLMs by people who don't know wtf they're talking about - I've owned ailiteracyproject.com for a while and have wanted it to be a place where we can write position neutral, factual information, about LLMs to educate the public
agentic engineering is great, but on new projects it just allows me to get to the point where I need to actually do design, even faster. And no, AI has not helped me one bit with design work, which I think is fine
