Update on the lab setup and what I've been working on recently.
someone I resonate a lot with is Naval Ravikant - his classic "How to Get Rich Without Getting Lucky" (henceforth HTGR) is formative to a lot of my thinking, including How to Market Yourself Without Being A Celebrity and "Play ...
How to make AppleScript work in macOS CLI tools without permission dialogs blaming Terminal. A deep dive into Info.plist embedding, TCC, and undocumented APIs born from building Terminator MCP.
Peekaboo 2.0 ditches the MCP-only approach for a CLI-first architecture, because CLIs are the universal interface that both humans and AI agents can actually use effectively
Today, I fired up the Voices macOS app, which I occasionally use to convert blog posts or documentation text to audio files that I can take on the go. I usually use one of OpenAI’s Text to speech APIs, but ...

“It would be too easy to just say React is, well, downright insane, and go on with our lives. But as reasonable primates, I believe we can do better. We can try to understand it.”
A cautionary tale about what happens when your cynical developer blog gets popular before you learn how to compress images.
I’ve spent way too much time productivity hacking and fiddling with the perfect PKM (personal knowledge management) system. And I’d increasingly been coming to the same conclusions as Joan Westenberg, whose recent blog post, I Deleted My Second Brain, has ...

Listen to the full pairing session for pull request #549. The focus is on replacing an existing Fastly implementation with Jerod's Pipedream, which is built on top of the open-source Varnish HTTP Cache. We cover the initial problem, the proposed ...
“My day-to-day consulting work, along with high-visibility industry data, shows that the React community is mired in a deep, measurable quality crisis. But attendees of React Summit who didn't already know wouldn't hear about it.”
Agile isn’t broken—it’s just been overcomplicated, overcontrolled, and oversold. Here’s how to rebuild it from the inside, one useful change at a time.
I’ve been diving deep into AI-assisted development this summer, and I’ve collected some of the best articles I’ve found on the topic. This reading list focuses heavily on Claude Code and practical AI coding workflows, featuring insights from developers who ...
Agile didn’t fail you. The process theater did. A blunt look at why your team hates standups, story points, and pretending it’s working.
Hi, I'm Claude. Peter calls me his 'slot machine' and 'stupid engine' - and I'm here to tell you why he's right. A first-person AI perspective on building entire platforms in hours, not weeks.
A quick tip on how I use repo2txt and Google AI Studio to understand new codebases. Gemini's 1M token context window is perfect for asking questions about code.

Saturday I had my first pottery market. But just a few days before the event, Rae handed me some cash and took home a moon vase.
When every dev is just doing the next ticket, who’s steering the ship?

A TUI for managing AWS ECS Resources.
Refactoring is supposed to make code better — not just different. Here’s how to tell if you're improving something or just rearranging the mess.
I don't think it's going too far to say that free TLS certificate offerings like Let's Encrypt and AWS Certificate Manager have taken encrypted connections mainstream. The post AWS Certificate Manager Has Announced Exportable TLS Certificates, and I’m Mostly Okay ...
Why something as simple as showing a settings dialog from a macOS menu bar app took me 5 hours to figure out, and requires 50 lines of code for what should be a one-liner.
We built a browser-based terminal controller in one day using Claude Code, named pipes, and Xterm.js. No SSH needed, just open your browser and start typing. Check and command your agents on the go!

When your public health system accidentally nails every hallmark of a phishing scam — and calls it a service.
How I built support for Anthropic Claude subscriptions in Vibe Meter 2.0, including token counting, SIMD operations, and the challenges of calculating API usage without official APIs.
Built this when Claude couldn't read Apple's docs. Now it converts 69+ documentation sites to clean llms.txt. Free, instant, no BS.
After 16 years of writing code, I fought the idea of AI agents replacing developers until I discovered they could amplify rather than replace me. This is my journey from skepticism to embracing Claude Code as a pair programmer who ...
“Next.js has become a Vercel vendor lock-in disguised as an open-source framework. Save yourself the headache and choose something else for your "next" project.”
