I’ve been wondering what it would look like to build audio software in a world where AI agents exist without turning the whole thing into a soulless plugin factory that mass-produces random ideas.
Anonymity at scale is becoming less a stable state and more an ongoing act of defense against time, data, and attention. As influence grows, so does the public’s rational interest in understanding who…
I used to think control was mostly about discipline—if something felt off, it meant I hadn’t trained hard enough—but biology doesn’t work that way; what we think and feel emerges from interacting syst…
I’ve been building cross-platform software where every change needs to be validated across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS before it can land. The coding is handled by AI agents working in par…
By default, Repo Prompt installs its MCP server for Claude Code per-project via .mcp.json files. Here's how I made it available globally in every Claude Code session.
Every year I make my Oscar predictions. This year I put together a small website with my ballot that updates every five minutes during the awards show using data scraped from the Oscars' realtime feed…
Today, I stumbled across an Ableton Live MCP server that lets tools like Claude or Codex control Ableton using natural language. Here's how I set it up.
I’ve been spending some of my free time writing software to keep perfectly good hardware from becoming e-waste.
A while back I wrote about how to start developing audio apps and plugins on macOS using the JUCE-Plugin-Starter I created. I've since turned that workflow into a Claude Code plugin called juce-dev.
Anthropic released skill-creator, a skill for creating and iteratively improving other skills. If you’re not familiar with building skills, it’s worth trying out. Here's how to pull just that folder f…
Symphony turns project work into isolated, autonomous implementation runs, allowing teams to manage work instead of supervising coding agents. - openai/symphony
If you have built a macOS app that intercepts media keys or system-wide keyboard events it can be a nightmare: the tap appears to install successfully, but after re-signing the binary and launching vi…
I have a house full of Wemo switches, dimmers, and plugs, and I use Google Home speakers in pretty much every room. "Hey Google, turn off the kitchen light" was part of my daily routine — until Belkin…
I've been exploring Tauri lately – the framework for building desktop (and mobile) apps using web technologies with a Rust backend. I built an an open-source W3C WebDriver implementation to make it ea…
XcodeBuildMCP v2.0 was recently released, and it adds two optional skills you can install into supported CLIs (Codex, Claude, and Cursor).
CodexMonitor recently developed an iOS app for connecting to your projects running on your desktop over Tailscale. Until there's a TestFlight / AppStore build you will need to build this yourself if y…
Today I learned that a single weird Unicode line separator (U+2028) can make Codex.app skip loading session history. I quit and restarted the app and all my sessions vanished, which was alarming. Here…
Up until recently, getting Claude to collaborate with other agents was…functional, but clunky. Recently, I started using a skill that allows me to just call OpenAI /codex from Claude.
