I break things
for a living.

I'm Job. I'm CTO at Neople, where we build AI digital coworkers. Think of it as giving every team their own brilliant-but-slightly-chaotic colleague who never sleeps, never complains about the coffee, and actually reads the documentation.

When I'm not managing an army of AI agents at work, I'm at home... managing an army of AI agents. I once forked the entire LLVM compiler infrastructure to add a flag called -Ewarning that makes your compiler call an LLM to fix your mistakes. It uses curl. From inside Clang. I'm not sorry.

My side projects range from the genuinely useful (a recipe vault, because food is important) to the inexplicable (a Strange Planet comic generator) to the openly confrontational (benchmarking LLMs against each other like it's a cage match). Oh, and at some point all my groceries came with a 99% discount code for some reason. Don't worry, I told them about it. I'm nice like that. You're welcome, Albert. I do Advent of Code every year and have strong opinions about semicolons.

I write on The Joy Lab where I try to be funny about serious things and serious about funny things. Previous hits include arguing that your USB-C charger is more powerful than the Apollo 11 guidance computer, and explaining why your OMS query taking two minutes is a moral failure.

Words I wrote
instead of sleeping.

You found it.

You're the kind of person who tries the konami code on random websites. I respect that deeply. We should be friends.

Fun fact: this entire website was generated by an AI that I yelled at until it stopped using Inter and purple gradients.
