Sandwich Bill of Materials SBOM 1.0: A specification for sandwich supply chain transparency.

The SBOM (Sandwich Bill of Materials) spec is a great standards contribution. I'm literally eating Jimmy John's while reading itโ€”and there was no SBOM in sight, so what am I really eating?

Ars Contexta caught my eye because I already use Obsidian (for this site and personal notes), and I like the idea of using an LLM to help organize information.

Entire ยท A new developer platform is coming We are going beyond repositories, building a developer platform where agents and humans can collaborate, interact, and grow. The birth of a new galaxy in this universe draws near.

Former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke launched Entire (https://entire.io). Their first offering, Entire CLI, is an open source tool to store all context around an agent session in git. One to watch! github.com/entireio/cli

Deploy your apps with a git push /dev/push is an open source alternative to Vercel and Render, allowing you to deploy your apps straight from GitHub.

/dev/push is a self-hostable, open source system for deploying with git pushes to simple VPS. Curious how it compares to Fly, which I currently use for Peaklet.

The Story of Wall Street Raider - A 40-Year Odyssey from Harvard Law to Steam The story of how Wall Street Raiderโ€”the most comprehensive financial simulator ever madeโ€”was born, nearly died, and was resurrected. A 40-year odyssey from Harvard Law to Steam.

The Story of Wall Street Raider was surprisingly enjoyable. I don't usually get into software archaeology tales, but this was nicely written and an interesting story.

GitHub - mbvlabs/andurel: The rails-like Go framework you didn't know you needed The rails-like Go framework you didn't know you needed - mbvlabs/andurel

andurel is a Go web "framework" that glues together well-tested projects (sqlc, templ, echo, datastar, river) with a CLI for code generation. 20+ years ago, I did something similar for Python โ€” I appreciate this approach!

Introducing Showboat and Rodney, so agents can demo what theyโ€™ve built A key challenge working with coding agents is having them both test what theyโ€™ve built and demonstrate that software to you, their supervisor. This goes beyond automated testsโ€”we need artifacts โ€ฆ

Simon Willison introduced Showboat and Rodney, two tools to let AI agents demo what they've built. Showboat constructs Markdown docs showing commands + output. Rodney is a CLI for Chrome via devtools protocol.

How StrongDMโ€™s AI team build serious software without even looking at the code Last week I hinted at a demo I had seen from a team implementing what Dan Shapiro called the Dark Factory level of AI adoption, where no human even looks โ€ฆ

Simon Willison wrote about StrongDM's "software factory" approach using AI. Most interesting: their Digital Twin Universe clones third-party services by feeding API docs to agents.

It's practical, step by step & how he changed how he works (without getting overloaded or anxious.)
