I delivered packages through Howe, Indiana for two months and never knew its history. Went back to actually explore it — a Boston lawyer who left his mark on the whole town, a military school reborn as a university, and a bookstore quietly funding a local animal rescue. bachapin.me/blog/20260707/

Excited for #WWDC26! Looking forward to seeing what the new iOS is going to contain, and see if the rumors are accurate. Let’s go #Apple.

New blog post: Spinning Plates bachapin.me/blog/20260524/ One thing I’ve been learning: growth rarely happens when life feels perfectly balanced. Sometimes it happens in the middle of chaos, uncertainty, and responsibility. This post is a snapshot of that season. #blog #slowliving #lifeupdate

AI dev tip: Don’t start with code. Start with a prompt… and let AI ask questions first. Presented this approach yesterday using a real project build. Better prompts = better products.

Visited Trinity Community Church this morning. They were all so welcoming, such a brotherly church. Next time I’m in the area I will be visiting again.

Just walked out of Smoky Mountain Knife Works, aka mens candy shop, with future debt. A lot of beautiful knives there.

Day 2 at #CodeStock2026 — inspired. Highlights: • AI + regional impact (AI Tennessee) • Reticulum network (now I want to build something with it) • Neural networks… explained with humor • Developer experience as a force multiplier Leaving with a lot of ideas to explore.

Day 1 at #CodeStock2026 — energized. Huge thanks to the sponsors & organizers for such a well-run event. Learned a ton about: AI as a tool (not a crutch), starting roles well, systems thinking, and practical AI at home. Reminder to myself: Depth > speed.
