Much of my day building software is not the fun, interesting stuff like writing a new feature or working on an interesting performance optimization.

I’ve been away from working on awman for a few weeks now.

Welcome back to the PrettySmart show after a week on Vancouver Island exploring what may be the most laid back part of Canada I've witnessed yet: Tofino, British Columbia.

In the last post, I announced that amux was becoming awman — the Agentic Workflow Manager.

When I started building amux earlier this year, the name stood for "agent multiplexer."

Since one of the core goals of ane is to allow code agents to explore, read, and edit source code with one-shot commands using chords and a simple CLI, this week I experimented with a self-improving codebase to work on ane from a code agent's point of vie…

TL;DR ane is a terminal code editor that combines a new chord grammar with language servers to allow both human developers and code agents to efficiently explore and edit source code - ane exec lets agents and scripts make precise reads and edits, while a…

The past few weeks has been spent rebuilding amux's internals from scratch.

Hello from paternity leave, week three.

Hello and welcome to my first paternity leave blog post!

I've been using amux daily for all my personal dev projects the past few months, and though it is working incredibly well for my workflows, there were some codebase architecture issues I was ignoring in order to add all the feature ideas I had bouncing ar…

A few days ago was the first time I was actually able to kick off a complicated agent-based workflow before bed and have it completely finished when I got up the next morning.

Running multiple agents in parallel has been pretty addicting as I've been working on amux, but I wanted to force them to follow my preferred workflow.

I worked over the weekend to get the core workflow that was introduced in v0.2 feeling smoother: write spec (now even faster), kick off work, validate results, update tests and docs, commit and push.

As I started working more with code agents and they became entwined in my workflows, I started getting itchy.

After working closely with a number of agentic code tools over the past year, I'm starting to coalesce towards a workflow that has been getting some pretty great results.
