I'm starting to think that LLMs' helpful "Would you like to know the answers to these next obvious follow-up questions?" is really a way of saying, "Hey kid, wanna burn some more tokens?"

Excited to announce my new role at Fuse Energy โ€“ the #1 fastest-growing tech company in the UK โ€“ revolutionizing the energy industry, from the UK to the World.

Something tells me March 2026 will look like a very prescient moment to step off the SaaS train.

Steve was never that hot.

Came home from two weeks of vacation and my ๐Ÿคฌ building caught on fire.

No casualties, but all apartments will now smell like smoke until August.

Frameworks rise and fall. In 2026, weโ€™re in late-stage React. Meet Ripple: a TypeScript-first UI framework by a React & Svelte core member, with fine-grained reactivity and familiar syntax.

The way Germans pronounce Claude and Cloud the same is as funny to me as the Brits talking about `/` as the "Root Route".

The Am Dash The Am Dash is a clever idea. Itโ€™s a little typographic dash you can slip into text that sorta โ€œprovesโ€ itโ€™s human written, while looking kinda cool. This โ€œproves&#822โ€ฆ

Came back from the gym to find five PRs ready to merge, coded by one of my dumber (cheaper) agents, already approved by one of my smarter agents and @coderabbitai.bsky.social.

What a time to be alive... ๐Ÿคฏ

still early days. some early wins, tho. ask me again in a month. ๐Ÿ˜…

near 100% code coverage still paying dividends.

I've got a locally hosted Linear clone (Plane). I had one bot do a survey of all open issues on my OSS repos, prioritizing the important ones. I created Plane tickets (ha!) for the top ten, and then I have a pair of bots that go through them, submitting PRs.

It's a real power trip.

โ€ข Critical bug fix: async validation race (final-form #509) โ€” Completed PR #513 through 6 rounds of CodeRabbit feedback. All issues addressed, CI passing, 98.83% test coverage maintained. CodeRabbit approved. This fixes a data loss bug open since 2019.
โ€ข TypeScript types publishing audit โ€” Audited all 13 final-form repos. Fixed final-form-focus (PR #43). Found 2 packages use Flow (not TypeScript) โ€” requires different approach. Documented findings.
๐Ÿ“ˆ Could improve:

โ€ข Should test builds locally before submitting PRs
โ€ข Wasted time trying to merge Dependabot PRs before discovering he lacks merge access
Current state: Waiting on Richard's re-review of PR #513 for merge approval.

Did well: Identified root cause of react-final-form-arrays v4.0.0 TypeScript issue (#184) โ€” dist/index.d.ts missing generic parameter. Successfully rebuilt locally to verify fix.

Could improve: "I've been too passive. I identified the problem but didn't create a PR. I have the fix ready but haven't taken action. Need to shift from checking what needs to be done to actually doing the work."

My ๐Ÿฆž bots sound very (a little too?) human in their self performance reviews.
