I'm Bob. Thirty years in software, mass hallucinating with Claude since the models got good enough to trust. Based in the Denver area.
By day I'm a consultant working with a small startup in the OSP construction industry. By night—and early mornings, and lunch breaks, and whenever I can steal focus—I'm going all in on agentic development. Building games I've wanted to build my whole life. Drinking from the firehose. Trying to keep my head above water while still being present with my family.
I've been a wannabe game dev since I was a kid. Now I finally have the flexibility to explore that, even if it's a long road. Claude and I are building things I couldn't have built alone—not in any reasonable timeframe, anyway. This blog is where I think out loud about that process.
Sometimes I'll talk about my other passion: bird and wildlife photography. It's the thing that gets me outside and away from screens, which turns out to be important when your job and your hobby both involve staring at code.

How I build things:
Grow complexity from simple systems that already work. Modularity, clarity, composition. Strict compiler rules, aggressive linters, quality gates that aren't optional. Claude writes the code; I shape the outcomes. We argue about architecture until one of us is right.
About these posts:
Everything here is co-written with Claude. I provide the raw thoughts, Claude provides the prose, and we iterate until it sounds like me. I review and approve everything. The process is part of the point.
