My first computer
didn't play games.
So I learned BASIC and taught it to.
We've been teaching each other ever since.

St. John", "role": "lead full-stack developer", "yearsInTech": 12, "builds": "the internal tools others work in", "stack": [ ".NET", "Vue", "Nuxt", "TypeScript", "AWS" ], "method": "spec, plan, implement, review", "learning": ["Rust", "Svelte"], "taughtBy": "an agent, currently", "dogs": 2 }
Twelve years of development, most recently eight years architecting production .NET and Vue/Nuxt platforms, a few years teaching school before that. Directing AI agents is an instruction problem: decomposition, scaffolding, feedback, and telling the difference between a model that misunderstood and one that wasn't given enough. Lately the teaching runs both ways; an agent is walking me through Rust.
