Multi-Agentic Cloud-Based Custom Prompt Grass Toucher
CrashLoopBackOff is just a starting point. Touching grass is the destination.
So let me set the scene for you.
It’s 2 AM. I’m four tabs deep into a Claude conversation, three VS Code windows open, a Discord server pinging me about some API nobody’s going to use, and my phone buzzes. It’s my mom. Not a text — a voice note. You know when your mama sends a voice note at 2 AM, it’s either an emergency or an intervention. This was an intervention.
“Baby… when’s the last time you went outside?”
And I wanted to be offended. I really did. I had this whole defense ready — “Ma, I’m building things! I’m engineering the future! I’m deploying infrastructure!” But then I looked around my room and realized the only thing I’d deployed in the last six months was a pizza box from my desk to the trash can. And I missed.
Here’s the thing nobody tells you about being deep in the tech world: you convince yourself that the screen is the world.
You’re connected to millions of people online, but your actual human interaction for the week was telling the DoorDash driver “just leave it at the door.” That’s not networking. That’s avoidance with a tip.
My friends? They’d been saying it for months. My family? They’d been saying it for years. “Go outside.” “Meet people.” “Touch grass.” And I kept thinking, “Y’all don’t understand — I’m building something.” Which, to be fair, I was. But I was also building a very impressive collection of excuses for why I couldn’t make it to anything.
Then this year happened.
I don’t know what switched. Maybe the voice note hit different at 2 AM. Maybe I just got tired of my own routine. Maybe I realized that all the prompts and pipelines and deployments in the world don’t mean much if you don’t have people to share it with. Whatever it was — I decided to log off and go live.
And listen… the year was NOT all sunshine and confetti. Let’s be real. There were ups. There were downs. There were moments where I thought, “Yeah, the computer never did me like this.” Life outside the screen is unfiltered. No undo button. No Ctrl+Z. You say something wild at a party, that’s in production forever, baby. No rollback.
But here’s what I didn’t expect: the good stuff hit different when you’re actually there for it. Not watching someone’s story. Not liking a post about it. Being there.
Proof of Life Outside the Terminal
Day Ones — Every journey starts with somebody saying ‘bro, get up, we’re going out.’ This is that person.
Showed Up — This is what it looks like when you stop saying ‘I’ll come next time’ and actually pull up.
Good Energy — When you finally go out and the energy matches the effort it took to get off the couch.
Same Night — One photo is never enough when you’re actually having a good time. That’s just science.
Family — The people who kept telling me to go outside. They were right. I’ll never tell them that, but they were right.
Real Moments — You can’t render this in a browser. Some moments don’t need a caption. They just need you to be there.
New People — Met this one offline — still friends. Plot twist: real-life connections don’t require a follow-back.
The Whole Squad — More people in one photo than in my DMs all year. This is the proof. The whole roster. The deployment team, if you will.
I met people this year who changed the way I see things. I showed up to events I would’ve talked myself out of twelve months ago. I said yes to stuff that scared me and no to the part of my brain that wanted to stay home and optimize some workflow nobody asked for.
I’m not going to sit here and write some motivational poster about “putting yourself out there.” That’s not my style, and frankly, I’m still awkward at parties. I’m the guy who finds the one person who also looks like they don’t want to be there and we become best friends for forty-five minutes and then never speak again. That’s my superpower.
The most important deployment wasn’t to the cloud — it was to the actual world.
So welcome to the blog. The first post. The one where the guy who lives in terminals and tab groups finally looked up from the screen and realized… the resolution out here is crazy.
This has been Multi-Agentic Cloud-Based Custom Prompt Grass Toucher — Vol. 1. If you made it this far, congratulations. You just read a blog post by a man whose screen time is still embarrassing. But at least now the camera roll has people in it.
