  • One SKILL.md that makes blogging with AI dramatically easier

    You have a topic. You open your AI assistant and start typing. First you explain your blog: who reads it, how you write, what you covered last month. Then the topic.

  • I Built VERDICT: A Hackathon Portal That Shows Its Work

    A hackathon portal can collect projects, assign judges, and publish scores. But there is a harder question hiding underneath all of that: When the results are announced, can anyone understand how they were reached—and verify that they haven’t quietly changed?

  • How to soak-test your MCP server before AI agents do it for you

    Most MCP servers get tested the same way: connect one client, call a few tools by hand, ship it. Then real agents show up. Dozens of sessions at once, three tool calls in parallel, sessions that never get closed. The failures that follow don't look like crashes.

  • I Built a Claude Code Skill That Makes AI Agents Prove Their Answers

    AI coding agents are getting very good at navigating repositories. Ask an agent: "Where is the API timeout configured?" It will usually find something useful.

  • Hacktoberfest 2026 Stopped Counting PRs. How I'd Spend the Month Instead

    Hacktoberfest 2026 has no pull request quota, and I think that frees you to do the kind of open source work that holds up. This year you earn stickers by learning and building, so you can spend October on something a maintainer would be glad to receive instead of something a counter would accept.

    Pi 1.0 sat at #1 on Hacker News today with 1,200+ points. Pi Durable, its sibling release, is also in the top 10. The part that got people typing: the agent that spent over a year dunking on MCP now supports MCP. Here's what actually shipped, and why I think the design matters more than the drama.

  • The scarce resource is not tokens, it is my attention — why I built ccdeck

    I build ccdeck, a local dashboard for Claude Code and Codex sessions. This is the story behind it. Four agents running, and the machine has been quiet for twenty minutes. One of the four had stopped to ask me something — a permission prompt for a shell command — and I had not seen it go by.
