About

I'm Jorge Rondón, a self-taught designer and developer from Venezuela, based in Medellín. No CS degree: I started in web design in 2016, have been writing code since 2021, and learned everything by building. Today I'm Head of Development at Mileage Design.

My own way of working: several Claude Code sessions at once, one coordinating and the others each in their own lane, one task at a time. Nothing closes on an agent's word, only on evidence. When a mistake repeats, I don't write another rule; I turn it into a check that runs on its own.

On my own time I ship products: PairCraft, a bilingual pocket guide to wine and food pairings; Void Runner, a synthwave rail shooter with a live leaderboard; and StateCraft, a vision board you can install and use offline.

How I work

My day runs through several Claude Code sessions at once: one coordinates, the others work, each in its own lane. Most of these rules exist because something went wrong once and I didn't want it to happen twice. Now I'm measuring my own setup against a baseline before I change it.

  1. 01

    One by one

    One task per lane, one lane per job. Fewer lanes beat a longer queue.

  2. 02

    Brief before GO

    No session writes anything until I've read its brief and said GO. A GO for one task doesn't carry over to the next.

  3. 03

    Evidence, not words

    Nothing closes on an agent's say-so. A status needs proof: the pull request, the live page, the read-back.

  4. 04

    A rule that doesn't fire becomes a hook

    If a mistake comes back with a written rule in place, the rule isn't there when it matters. So it becomes a check that runs on its own.

  5. 05

    The agent prepares, I run production

    Anything that touches production is a command I run myself, and each one checks the current state before it changes anything.

  6. 06

    Every task teaches me something

    Each brief says what I'll learn, not only what will change.

“Every new problem is an opportunity. The last thing I want is for the work to move forward without leaving me something learned.”

    PairCraft

    A bilingual pocket guide to wine and food pairings, with short, opinionated notes. Search a wine, a grape, a dish or a region and see what goes with it, filtered by where you can actually buy the bottle. A mobile-first PWA in English and Spanish.
