The Log

It's becoming very clear now that the things that make code easier for humans to work with are almost exactly the same things that make code easier for agents to work with.

I've been working on Ossature, a spec-driven harness for LLM-based code generation.

I've been experimenting with the idea of integrating LLMs with text-adventure and interactive fiction games in a couple of different ways, most are not yet ready (and will probably take a long time for anything useful to come out of them if any) but one a…

I've watched the open source world from a bit of a distance over the last 20 years while learning to code and getting paid doing it (the first project I put out there, BackuPod, was uploaded to SourceForge in 2007, I was a novice Python programmer.)

The macOS app switcher (Cmd+Tab) is one of those things that's just there and works well enough most of the time.

I'm thrilled to finally share something I've been working on for months.

Update: The game is now available!

As I've recently switched to macOS, I decided to configure my system using nix-darwin.

I've switched to Macbook Pro as my main personal computing device again.

Yesterday at WWDC 2023 Keynote, Apple unveiled its first "spatial computing" device "Vision Pro".

Over the past decade or so in my career, I have come to recognize the importance of writing well.

I have recently identified a habit of mine whereby I tend to skip reading introductory chapters of books, at times only resorting to skimming through it in search of salient information.

I found out about the Zettlekasten note taking method in early 2021 and got interested in learning more about it.

Using the term "glitch" when it comes to issues related to software or technology in general is bad journalism.

Python 3.11 was released a few days ago and as usual, it comes with more than a few new features that make it ever more interesting, from exception groups and fine-grained error locations and tracebacks to TOML parsing support in the standard library and…

I found out that the order in which Oud strings are connected to their pegs when replacing the strings is important for a few reasons.

For the last couple of days, I've been going through all sorts of nostalgia going over DK EyeWitness CD encyclopedias from the 90s.

The following is a summarized excerpt from the Interactive Plots & Non-linearity section of "Scriptwriting for Games" from the International Game Developers Association.

I needed access to some of the endpoints used by an iOS app, which also happened to be terrible.

Nim provides three essential macros in the built-in macros module that are very helpful when writing or debugging macros.

Asserting query counts in Django tests with CaptureQueriesContext is a great way to maintain/optimize code, but it doesn't provide enough context to find what changed when tests fail during a refactor.

Polymode is an emacs package that provides a framework to mix multiple major modes together with a few lines of code.
