Why I boot Linux from a USB-attached NVMe I run a small home server on a Mini-ITX desktop that I also use as my gaming machine on Windows. The motherboard, an ASRock B550M-ITX/ac, has a single PCIe…

I recently ran into a fun little problem with the Helix Stadium XL and Streamlabs Desktop. And by fun, I mean the kind of problem where you spend a stupid amount of time wondering why the thing you…

Two weeks ago, the NPM endpoint that yarn audit from Yarn v1 uses, decided to stop working:

Add Orbital to two REST APIs and replace manual join code with a single TaxiQL query. Covers Taxi schemas, Docker Compose setup, and the .env step that isn't in the official docs.

How to organize a positive-sum hackathon people actually want to attend

I tried Claude Design. For someone like me, totally hopeless at design and graphics, it's pretty impressive. In a couple of hours I sketched out a sensible visual direction for Eventitech. Then I…

i made h-to-md, a tiny html to markdown converter that is stupid fast and doesn't make you bring a browser to the party.

Reasoning gets cheaper. Capture compounds. - By the end of the Palantir kickoff build week I’d figured out where the leverage actually is in a vertical AI build. Not the model. Not the agents on top.…

In Claude Code, sometimes you want to add a plugin to a project instead of adding it to your user settings. You typically want to do that if the project uses a different technology compared to what…

Earlier this year I spoke to the idea of Agent Orchestration where changes to software span multiple context windows, and work needs to be split and passed to agents while monitoring progress…

The past couple of weeks, I've been working with an ESP32 chip. I'm making experiments at this moment: my goal is to find out if these chips are good enough now. Many years ago I started with ESP8266…

I tested Talkie-1930 on GSM8K and the easier EleutherAI/OpenAI arithmetic suite, then packaged an lm-eval-harness runner so the runs are reproducible.

Local clones are faster and cheaper than you think

Technical debt is debt in the code. The structure works well enough for now, but it makes future change harder, riskier, or slower. Cognitive debt is debt in the team’s shared understanding.…

Last week at Bug Bash 2026, I had a bunch of interesting discussions about testing non-web interfaces with Bombadil, our new property-based testing framework for user interfaces. One direction that I…
