A snapshot of what has my attention this season — inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page idea

last updated · May 2026

building

  • Polishing TibebChain — small UX details on the reader and onboarding flow.
  • Shipping a redesign of this site (the one you're on) with a Mayven-flavoured aesthetic.
  • Sketching a tiny invoicing tool for freelancers who hate invoicing.

learning

  • Going deeper on Next.js 16 cache components and server actions.
  • Re-reading 'A Philosophy of Software Design' — slowly, with a pen.
  • Brushing up on rust, mostly to feel humble again.

reading

  • Mere Christianity — C.S. Lewis
  • Shape Up — Ryan Singer
  • The Pragmatic Programmer (revisited)

listening to

  • lo-fi at 7am, post-rock at 11pm
  • the Dwarkesh podcast on the bus
  • Shai Linne on rotation

elsewhere

  • Long walks. Trying to learn how to rest properly without checking my phone.
  • Cooking more. Mostly East African food I grew up on.
