I don't talk about work much on here, but I work in open-source software, and we just released Strudel Flow 2 , a new version of our visual music sequencer built with React Flow and Strudel . Version…

Stroppy 6.2 is out. This release is mostly about the work around a benchmark:

When building software defined radio flowgraphs it’s common to want to inspect the live data as it flows through various stages. In GNU Radio, and RustRadio, the handoff points are very clear. They…

I'm writing this blog post on the same day as the eMudhra Intermediate CA compromises news was published so the memory of what was required from me and unfortunately volunteer maintainers today is…

Notes on building a small coding agent.

a tiling-first, aesthetic linux distribution

What a file system does, how it got here, and what it promises when a write returns.

Nothing derails a writing session quite like a $\LaTeX$ build that fails without telling you why. You hit save, latexmk spins up, and suddenly the compiler halts with a vague Error return from 'biber…

Only 9% of small businesses reach $1 million or more in revenue.

I remembered the conversation: transcribing a Rust cohort video with mlx-whisper. I didn't remember where I ran it. It turned out to be ~/Downloads, but I only found that out later: claude --resume…

tag(s): #emacs #random-thoughts #programming A week ago I received in my inbox a few patches, from two different users, for confluence-reader. My first thought was Aha! Turns out you don't need to be…

For a while I’ve been fascinated 1 by “claudeisms”: the little idioms that claude reuses constantly. Claude is not the only one who reuses idioms like that, corporate speak is full of colorful 2…

How I added WebMCP tools to my social media planner so AI agents can find drafts, create posts and update schedules through an open browser tab.

I’ve been updating trunkbaseddevelopment.com for coding agents, with Claude doing much of the typing. One section is now about AI coding agents committing straight to the trunk . That’s what you get…

综述 Anthropic、OpenAI、xAI、Google 和各家 neo lab 的官方博客，整理企业用 AI 提效的做法；neo lab 部分只收有独立证据的案例。新增一节谈多智能体和长时间运行的智能体：何时值得用、怎么部署、怎么记账。

We’ve just released ArkOS 0.13.1, along with a large set of associated tooling. For the observant among you, we skipped 0.13.0. It was signed, but a last-minute API change made us pull it.…

Every MVP has an event horizon: the point where people start depending on it. You won't feel yourself cross it - you'll find out when you try to back out.

Let's talk about game simulations. Today I bring up a slightly more advanced topic and talk about OS scheduler latency and its impact on multi-threaded tick design.

How we removed 28k lines of code from Sentry, one Knip at a time. A talk about the cost of unused code, how Knip finds it, and the lessons we learned along the way.

Creating a file with ed and a here document When it comes to creating a new file with ed and a here document, there is a difference between "GNU ed" and "ed" on BSD. This is about…

Back in March I wanted to clean noisy speech live, from a microphone, in Rust. NVIDIA has Real-time RE-USE : a streaming Mamba model that takes one 20 ms frame of audio at a time. Small, causal, made…

Unlimited tokens don’t buy quality. With coding agents everywhere, tokenmaxxing is a race to nowhere. The developers who win build for people.

A fun little project that came out of a creative exercise around the word 'Overgrowth'.

I wrote a somewhat flippant piece for a friend’s site (sadly now defunct) some time back about my frustration with people asking for websites as a sort of off-the-shelf, finished thing. The point of…

A design-gate hook blocked nothing in eight agent runs. Nobody cheated. The agents wrote files through Bash, and the hook only watched Edit and Write.

Recently I started testing multi-agent collaboration tools in my daily workflow, spending quite a bit of time with both Cumora and Raft . Between the two, I prefer how Raft handles agent definitions,…

This is not just a rant, this is a serious call and warning to every company or project developing software.

I’m assuming you all gave a sigh of relief when you saw digital text rather than scans of my handwriting. This post is largely a set of updates and corrections to my previous post; given the…

Every so often someone needs to get into our house while we’re away, like a family member dropping something off or a repair person showing up early. I didn’t want to hand out a garage remote or set…

A follow-up to my post on Gradle's rich console on Nix: a small patchelf script in my nix configuration that repairs the native library cache whenever the Gradle wrapper breaks rich console.

Private ownership of digital infrastructure can give a small number of companies the power to determine the conditions under which everyone else participates in economic and public life.
