#83A blog about burnout and recovery that chronicles my experiences going on an extended sabbatical for the last 3 years. The good, the bad, the unexpected, what I'd do differently, what I've learned along the way, etc.
I started the project 1.5 years ago after many people I spoke to expressed interest, but life got complicated and I had to focus on health among other things. It's now back on the front burner, and I'm hoping to launch it later this spring or early summer.

#84We're increasing the brain's restorative function during sleep.
Over the last 4.5 years, we've been developing slow-wave enhancement technology which increases the effectiveness of deep sleep.
We've developed the full stack, our own hardware, soft conductive dry (no paste or gel) electrodes, comfortable EEG headband, embedded sleep stage classification and stimulation models, the list goes on and on.
We're currently ramping up for a pre-sale, and getting the marketing inline, along with finalizing industrial design, prepping for manufacturing, etc, etc,

#85I'm working on a geography guessing game. This is mostly in order to learn the technologies that the team I manage is working on, as I don't get as much hands-on time as I'd like at work. But it's a fun game and it's improving at a rapid clip. I'd love your feedback.

#89Myself.
Been a freelance dev for years, now going on "sabbatical" (love that word) shortly.
Planning to do a lot of learning, self-improvement, and projects. Tech-related and not. Preparing for the next volume (not chapter) of life. Refactoring, if you like, among other things.
I'm excited.

#90We're building https://tripjam.com after being frustrated with planning trips in regular group chats and trying to organize information across multiple apps. It combines:
- Group chat that keeps all travel discussions in one thread
- Interactive maps where everyone can pin locations and add notes
- Collaborative itineraries that sync with your calendar
- AI travel assistant that suggests activities and helps optimize your plans
