About

I'm Clay Loveless. I build developer tools, work on old trucks, and argue with AI agents about code style.

In a previous life I co-founded Mashery and helped invent the API management category. That was twenty years ago. The industry moved on. So did I.

These days I'm doing a little of this and a little of that... consulting, building products, and teaching beep-bop-booping middle school students.

This site is the workbench — rough cuts, notes, works in progress. The polished stuff lives at Loveless Labs .
