Disclosing AI use
This is based on a thread that I posted to Bluesky that I decided to keep here for posterity. If you want to discuss on Bluesky, follow me at @jazzsequence.com and let’s chat. Let’s talk about AI. I’ve been using it a lot recently. It’s not that I don’t see or care about the environmental…

Human for a year

I’ve joined Human Made!
This week, I started the next chapter of my great adventure — joining the team at Human Made. Over the last roughly two and a half years, I’ve worked at WebDevStudios — one of the top WordPress-focused development agencies.
