Temporal: The 9-Year Journey to Fix Time in JavaScript JavaScript's Date object has been a source of bugs for three decades. Temporal, which just reached Stage 4, is a modern replacement with immutable types, first-class time zone and calendar support, and nanosecond precision. This is the story of how Bloomberg, Igalia, and the TC39 community spent nine years turning an idea into a shipping standard.

Brewlog: Coffee & Agents I built a self-hosted coffee logging platform with Rust, Axum, SQLite and Datastar. The project was my most complex agentic coding effort to date, with Claude Code acting as my long‑lived pair‑programmer for almost all of the implementation. This post covers the motivation, design decisions, and what I learned about building non-trivial software with AI assistance, as well as some patterns I’ve adopted for agentic coding.
