Construction, Coding, and Work Life Balance In this episode, I sat down with @jamon.dev, co-founder and CTO of Infinite Red, to talk about his unconventional journey from framing homes in the rain to building a thriving software consultancy. Thanks so much for the discussion, Jamon!

I added low-altitude clouds to my helicopter game and it makes a much bigger difference than I expected.

The fastest way to level up might be the skill you've been ignoring. @jamon.dev has done React Native for a decade, but its native side runs on C++. Learning it wasn't starting over -- just one new language in an environment he already knew cold. Watch here: youtu.be/Ny5FavLMhO0

Stop thinking about mobile apps like web apps -- think about them like games. @jamon.dev spent a year obsessing over frame rates on old hardware. Games don't drop frames, so why should your app? That mindset infects everything you build. Watch here: youtu.be/Ny5FavLMhO0

Learning a new language quietly makes you better at the ones you already know. When @jamon.dev picked up Ruby, his PHP got sharper too. New tools open new pathways, so you start seeing your old work in ways you simply couldn't before. Watch here: youtu.be/Ny5FavLMhO0

If you keep grabbing the keyboard, you're training your team to let you. This came up with @jamon.dev: jumping in to just do it feels helpful, but you teach people to hand it back. Then you wonder why you're drowning in everyone's work. Watch here: youtu.be/Ny5FavLMhO0

Building a business while burning the candle at both ends has a real cost. @jamon.dev started his company with a baby at home, working late night after late night. The business grew, but his health slid -- a tradeoff worth being honest about. Watch here: youtu.be/Ny5FavLMhO0

Being able to direct your focus changes what you're capable of finishing. @jamon.dev found that once he could actually aim his attention, he made big strides at the company and at home. Starting something and seeing it through is a superpower. Watch here: youtu.be/Ny5FavLMhO0

It seems to me that my 30 top-notch mobile devs at Infinite Red are, today in 2026, best deployed further down the production line, as quality engineers and process engineers. I’d like to lay out a vision for you here. Maybe it’ll resonate. Builder -> quality engineer -> process engineer

I have developed a rule of thumb for when it's best to code by hand. If I don't understand the problem super well, I'll start digging in with an agent and gaining familiarity. If the solution after 10-15m isn't something that I feel I could implement myself, it's time to go do it by hand.

One of my favorite stories was when I was a first-time speaker at a Ruby conference in 2014. Gant welcomed me to the speaker dinner with a huge hug (never met the guy beforehand). It instantly disarmed me and made it awesome. Never imagined we'd be business partners a few short years later!

My story is many stories of Gant. At our annual in-person retreat, Gant always makes sure there are musical instruments for the team, and often leads the musicians in jamming together. I think I've played "Margaritaville" with Gant more times than I can count.
