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 12, 2026Recursive Self Improvement in AI
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.
- seedling Created Jun 11, 2026Definition of Done
A team's shared, binary standard for when any work item is actually complete. Why it is universal rather than per-ticket, and how it differs from acceptance criteria.
- seedling Created Jun 11, 2026QA Handoff Workflows
How engineering teams move a code-complete ticket to a QA analyst for sign-off, and why most use a status transition rather than reassigning the ticket away from the developer.
