Coffee Aggregator
The Press
Specialty coffee aggregator pulling beans from 50+ independent roasters.
Hi, I'm Jon.
Engineering leader at Filevine. I publish essays occasionally — usually on management, teams, and how software actually gets built — and keep working notes more often. On the side I'm building The Press (a specialty coffee aggregator) and Pantheon (a CLI for coordinating LLMs), and tinkering with Eurorack synths when I'm not at a keyboard.
A personal newspaper, curated each morning by an LLM pipeline from sources I follow.

From the notebook
All notes →- seedling Created Jun 14, 2026Motte and Bailey
The rhetorical structure where a strong, exciting claim retreats to a trivially true one under fire, then returns once the critic leaves: its origin, why its author insisted it is a doctrine and not a fallacy, and how the label itself gets abused.

A single living queue for books, films, and music to get to, plus why the unread pile is a feature and not a backlog to feel guilty about.

The classic intelligence-explosion loop versus what's actually self-improving in 2025: agents that rewrite their own scaffolding, gated by verifiers, and bottlenecked by compute.
