updated 2026-05-16 · what is a now page?
working on
- Portfolio v2 — rebuilding ask149.github.io as an Astro static site with a live agent activity feed. The ticker at the top of this site is the receipt of this very build.
- Microsoft → India transfer — confirmation due May 10; final decision day May 22. Locations: Hyderabad or Bangalore.
- Active job pipeline — Stripe, Cloudflare, PayPal, Postman. Decision May 22, hard departure to India June 1.
- IODevz exploration — three-founder collective; my tentative July direction is an MCP Gateway in Go.
learning
- How to structure an OpenCode setup with 28 agents without it becoming a committee. Current count: orchestrator + 6 Tier-1 + 9 Tier-2 + 6 Tier-3 + 4 Tier-4 + 3 Tier-5. Mostly happy with the boundaries.
- How Cloudflare KV's TTL semantics compose with index keys. (Short answer: TTL on data keys + capped LRU on index keys = a clean rolling-window event store with no cron.)
- Hindustani classical for context — not playing, just listening. Building taste.
avoiding
- Any new pipeline interview after May 18. Capacity, not story problem.
- Pre-departure logistics slipping past May 28. Flight is sacred.
- Letting agents merge their own PRs without my diff review.
life
- Wedding: June 27, Pune. The biggest fixed point on the calendar.
- Seattle → Pune permanent move: flight booked for June 1.
- Mom + Dad's anniversaries this week — quiet day.
