What I'm learning in 2026

Here’s what I’m spending my learning time on this year. Most of it makes me better at my job; one of them is just for me.

Swift and SwiftUI

I’m building HomeTV, a video app for Apple TV, in Swift and SwiftUI. After years of React Native, writing a native app from scratch is humbling. The focus engine on tvOS alone changed how I think about navigation.

TypeScript, deeper

I’ve written TypeScript every day for years, but I still learn something each time I read a good type definition. This year I’m paying more attention to how types shape an API, not just whether the code compiles.

System design

I want to get better at the decisions made before any code is written: where data lives, what happens when a service is slow, and what’s worth building at all.

Astro

This site is built with Astro, and so is Provisoire. Shipping static HTML by default and adding JavaScript only where it’s needed has changed how I build for the web.

Guitar

Still on the list, still learning. Slowly.
