My now-playing kiosk has a long install document, and it's a long document. Three hundred and ninety-three lines, eight sequential phases, six environment variables that each gate a different optional install path, and a fifty-line section on a particular display whose touch input lives on a separate USB
Most of the now-playing kiosk was built with my autopilot workflow, which I've written about before. I describe a feature, it gets planned, built, and reviewed, and it ships. For most of the project that's the whole story. But the kiosk's job is to
How I let my Claude Code sessions message each other without a server, a socket, or a registry — just JSON files dropped into an inbox and a hook that reads them at startup.
Three patch releases in one evening — how using my own plugin on a real project surfaced a confusing schema field, an internally inconsistent verdict, and the case for state as a first-class concept.
How I wired fallow and skylos into a side project's pre-commit hooks and Claude Code session, then drove the kiosk frontend from a 90A to 100A health score using parallel subagents in git worktrees.
For some reason, running Claude Code directly on the remote server is either slow or unreliable. I prefer having a local development environment, but all changes get synchronized to the remote server over ssh instantly without any extra effort. I found mutagen to be very handy in this setup. You install this on your local […]
Over the past few weeks I’ve been developing and using a personal command-line tool called gwt (Git Worktree) to manage Git repositories using worktrees. This article explains what the tool does, how it evolved, and how I used GitHub Copilot CLI to develop it (in fact the idea of building the script was also to test the tool).
I was working on a…
I got a Common turtle from Claude Code's deterministic buddy system, so I brute-forced the generation algorithm.

After 30 years building software, I've never seen anything like the current pace of AI-driven change. What does it mean when 900 million people have access to tools that make them developers?
When your partner's game experience is broken, you build them something better. A 48-hour journey through 3D dice, iOS Safari bugs, and the UX of joy.
Three projects, parallel sessions, and the rhythm of AI-assisted development.
Custom plugins, hooks, and quality gates that keep AI-generated code honest.
Building a sophisticated Claude Code configuration system with smart wrappers, mixin architecture, and orchestrator-only discipline.
