I build software end to end and write about what I ship. Day job history: Nintendo, Salesforce, and a few SaaS teams in between. Right now: shipping products in public, including @MotsActu (French from real news at your level). The archive lives here: coltonpomeroy.com Follow for shipping notes, founder decisions, and product launches. Soft launch energy only.

Builders, what did you ship this week? I'll go first: a content guard in one of my apps now checks every new field by default, not just the ones I remembered to list. Small fix. Saves future me from a bad day. Your turn.

I started building @MotsActu because I wanted to learn French from real news. I'm learning the language people use to talk about what's happening in the world, not just how to order a croissant. What have you built just because you wanted it to exist?

If we haven't met: I'm Colton. I ship software in public and run a fleet of Grok Bots as coworkers. Top question from yesterday: how do they not step on each other? Same as humans. One role per bot, narrow scope, and I own every merge. What job would you hand an AI first?

Do people actually not know first-time homeowners pay 3% down and not 20%? Is this what's keeping people from buying a house?
BREAKING: Californians have approved a new homebuying assistance program that will let people purchase newly built homes with just 3% down instead of the standard 20%, per NYP

That whole extra hour of sleep for daylight savings is cool until you have 3 kids under the age of 5.

We have confirmed that, last night at approximately 1:23 AM, a rogue swarm of unaligned agents operating outside established safety protocols incurred $54 in TouchTunes expenditures at a Seattle dive bar near the pool table

This city lives and dies with our Thunder. We support them on the court, as representatives of our city off the court, and as people that feel as familiar to us as our friends and neighbors. They’re our guys. It’s been a thrill for all of us to have JDub back on the court this season. His terrible injury tonight came just a minute or so after he had us all out of our seats for one of his signature moments. We’ll now have to hang on to that moment for awhile. Our whole city will have JDub in our thoughts and prayers as he deals with this adversity and as he makes his way through his recovery. We are also thinking of his teammates Cason Wallace and Jaylin Williams, who also left the game tonight with injuries. I took these pictures tonight. We can’t wait till the day @jdubwttp levitates above the court again with ease. We’ll be there to cheer his return, however long it takes.

Every methodology eventually collapses into this one. The rest are just what we call it in the retro.
