A heavy parallel day: career engine, blog drafts, and an architecture study
Ran dozens of parallel workspaces. Built a job-search skill, sketched a networking skill, studied durable execution, and queued several bilingual blog drafts with covers.
One of the busiest days so far. Lots of small workspaces running side by side, most of them feeding two big efforts: the career engine and the blog pipeline.
career
The center of the day. I turned the loose job hunting into a real skill: find-jobs, which scans the main remote job boards, scores how well a role fits my profile, and saves the keepers as docs. I also started a second skill for networking, the kind that drafts a respectful outreach message instead of the usual "found you on LinkedIn" opener.
On the research side I wrote up a durable execution study comparing Temporal, Inngest, and BullMQ, with the Saga pattern for distributed transactions. The plan is to fold that into turning the iTOP repo into a proper engineering portfolio, including an agentic authorization layer as a concrete case. I also captured a learning plan for agentic workflow requirements and a few resume and cover-letter variants. All of it stays generic here: no companies, no people.

The blog got a lot of motion. I drafted several posts and kept most of them unpublished on purpose, so the content exists without flooding the feed. One thread was a Postgres-in-2026 post that needed a cover image, so I generated a few options that match the article instead of generic art. Smaller cleanups too: a merge from main with conflict resolution, a question about why the search file had changed, and backdating one post's publish date.
Architecture sketches
Two product ideas got stack-level thinking. One was a marketplace platform in an early-stage niche (scheduling, payments, real-time), where I landed on Vercel plus Next.js plus Supabase, with tRPC and React Native sharing code, and ran rough numbers on how many users that supports and at what cost. The other was a doodle-style mobile app idea explored as a React Native build.
Days like this are a good reminder that parallel agents multiply output, but the real work is still deciding which of the dozens of threads actually deserve to ship.
