Why I decided to ditch Cursor and switch to running Claude Code in an isolated environment + diy guide!
A few months ago, I upgraded my M4 Mac mini from 1 to 2 TB of internal storage, using a then-$269 DIY upgrade kit from ExpandMacMini. At the time, there was no option for upgrading the M4 Pro Mac mini, despite it also using a user-replaceable, socketed storage drive. But the folks at M4-SSD reached out and asked if…
Don’t get me wrong, I understand that they’re essential for large fleets of services with fast-changing software and teams of oncallers working around the clock to understand the complex ways that complex systems fail… but my stuff doesn’t change that often, failures are mundane and low-scope, and I’m the only person…
Welp, Pocket shuts down tomorrow despite our pleas for it to stay. While migrating1 all of my saved articles, I noticed that I’ve got almost 900 saved articles spanning nearly 7 years. That’s a goldmine of stuff-I-like data! Some quick analysis using xsv2: 𝄢 unzip pocket.zip && xsv headers part_000000.csv 1 title 2…
A roundabout way to downsampling data Maps in the Modern Era GIS is probably one of the best things to happen to cartography in the last couple hundred years.

The solution to agentic flows was code all along.
This is a contribution to the Emacs Carnival 2025-06: Take Two collection of posts on Christian Tietze’s blog. My first take with Eshell many years back did not leave a good impression. My...

Multiple parallel Claude-Code sessions power a self-improving AI factory where agents write, review, and refine code.
I built a small proof-of-concept for a system that enables real-time bidirectional editing between any modern code editor and a GUI, enabled by an LSP1 server. Code-based CAD I like working on small projects at home that benefit from CAD. I’m also a programmer with a personal development environment that I’ve spent…

Once in a while you get introduced to a tool that instantly changes the way you work. For me, mise is one of those tools.
A single-function JSON parser for the POSIX shell.
I discovered a fun and strangely obvious trick for summarizing videos faster and reducing costs: just speed them up. Cheaper, faster OpenAI transcriptions with a little ffmpeg trick.
How to use uv and the Python inline script metadata proposal PEP 723 to run scripts seamlessly.
Emojis are great. They're particularly useful to put in the output of scripts and get some eye catching output. At least provided they aren't overused, just like colour.
i have gone a little above and beyond trying to get all the features of VSCode
I recently submitted my PhD thesis , and while waiting for the physical copies to get printed I thought I’d write about something you (hopefully) wouldn’t notice when reading it. I wrote it in Typst, not LaTeX. In this post I will talk a bit about what went well and what didn’t.
Preamble# The internet is the bane of my existence. Ads, distractions, sponsored content, bad news, bad ideas, more ads, social media, antisocial media, even more ads. Also, I’m a software developer, so the internet is basically indispensable for me, a central pillar of my income and a convenient way to communicate…
I wrote a small script that runs in the background, polling for the state of an $8 smart plug .
How I turned an old iPhone 8 into a solar-powered OCR server using Apple's Vision framework. Running 24/7 off-grid, processing thousands of images.

I recently found myself needing to change the monitor that a cheap HDMI “dummy plug” pretended to be. It was a random one I had bought on Amazon several years ago that acted as a 4K monitor, and I needed it to be something simpler that didn’t support a 4K resolution. The story behind why is a long one that I’m still…
Why can I focus for hours on a game but procrastinate on simple tasks? I finally cracked the code using thermal receipt printer and game design.
"I love C". "I enjoy writing in C". "I don't feel well when I have passed a day without coding a line of C". "My conversation with my wife simply doesn't flow without the C language". "I want to write everything in C, even the everyday scripting, but due to the steps required for writing make files and other things, I…
