1/06/26: Navigating Coding, AI, and Personal Growth

I’ve been gone for a little bit and feeling a bit behind on coding, so I’m using this vlog to hold myself accountable and get back into it. In this episode, I talk about what I’ve been working through with Next.js and APIs, how I’m balancing coding projects with regular life stuff like staying hydrated and working out, and how I’ve been using AI tools like Google NotebookLM and Cursor/ChatGPT to learn and problem-solve. I also share some thoughts on where technology and AI might be headed, what I’m seeing in the Threads space, and what it looks like to keep growing toward the things that actually support you while you’re building.
