I'm building a little game engine in Metal/Vulkan from scratch with Claude Code (just for fun) and I decided I wanted to integrate a big throw back to my early gamer days — Starsiege Tribes skiing. I can't tell you how overjoyed I was that Claude understood this concept thoroughly.

Ever wonder what's actually happening inside your authorization system? Traditional setups operate like black boxes: permissions go in, yes/no comes out, and you just hope nothing's been tampered with. We're changing that.

At the beginning of each workday, each player draws 7: three ‘Just Checking In’s, two ‘No Rush On This’s, one ‘Per My Last Email,’ and a legendary: ‘Let Me Know How I Can Help.’ You may play any number of kindness spells this turn.

Love building terminal UIs — it scratches an itch that's hard to define. Coming of age in the 90s hacking scene left an impression on me, I think. This is from @InferaDB CLI's `dev status --interactive` command. It's built using our Rust-native TUI framework inspired by Bubble Tea, called Ferment.

In Chicago this week visiting with our dear friends 😊

I have the sudden urge to build a MUD with Rust

"Startup" (the series) was a delightful surprise. I recently binge-watched all three seasons. It's a bummer we won't be getting a Season 4!

Finding something you're so passionate about that you can envision dedicating the next decade to it is rare and exciting. The first for me was my fiancé; the second is @InferaDB.

Hot take: Rust is the future of software development, and I'm shaping InferaDB to be a predominantly Rust-based company from the ground up.

Just set up our new Discord server for InferaDB! Going forward, it'll be our central hub for our developer community to engage directly with the team, exchange best practices and tips and tricks, and where we'll deliver updates on new features, offer official resources and tutorials.

Exciting day! We have our first VC calls for InferaDB lined up over the next couple of weeks, starting with our first call today. Wish us luck! 😊

Code is more than a set of machine instructions; it's a message to future developers, including ourselves. It’s a tool for clear communication over time, capturing our intentions, reasoning, and shared understanding.

I'm so excited about what we've been building at InferaDB. For years, I've seen developers struggle with authorization. It's more often than not a bottleneck that slows down innovation and compromises security. I spent five years in the space re-thinking the approach, and InferaDB is that solution.

What on earth did they do to Affinity? This new UI is a nightmare. It's great that the core features are now free — genuinely awesome! But I was more than willing to pay for a seamless experience. A cluttered UI, even at no cost, isn't exactly a crowd-puller.

Sneakers (1992) has held up surprisingly well

Both WHOOP and OURA have launched new, extensive blood test panel programs. I explored these options to highlight the differences and help you determine which one offers the best value for your specific needs.

The more I work with TanStack, the more I fall in love. Its unparalleled quality and exceptional developer experience are truly inspiring. Every library should aspire to be such a joy to use.

Apple’s rebrand of TV+ makes sense. It’s felt like they’ve been refining the Apple TV+ app UI to eventually replace the dull app launcher experience of the current home screen for quite a while now — the new name seems to reinforce that inevitability. www.techmeme.com/251013/p26#...

Just released OpenFGA Python SDK v0.9.7 with some DX improvements and bug fixes for working with custom headers. Give it a try and let us know what you think! github.com/openfga/pyt...

Happy iPhone day to those that celebrate

I figured The Browser Company (of Arc and Dia fame) being acquired was an inevitability, but I did not have Atlassian on that bingo card.

I try to start each week by reflecting on what went well and what didn't. Just a few sentences of reflection help me uncover patterns often missed in the rush. It's a simple habit with huge returns. Improvement is largely about recognizing what needs to change.

Another day of guessing: am I sick with bug, is it just allergies, or am I getting a sinus infection? This past week has been a ride, man.

Another workout complete 😮‍💨

Building with TanStack Start feels like how React *should* have felt all along. If you want transparent, no-BS SSR, you should try it on for size. It's certainly solving a lot of headaches for me and feels like a breath of fresh air.

Every Sunday, I dedicate 15 focused minutes to gain clarity and direction for the upcoming week, setting a positive tone for the days ahead.

Goals hit different when they’re tied to who you are. Not “I will write,” but “I’m a writer.” The label isn’t just semantics-it drags your habits into alignment. Sounds small, but it’s the difference between dabbling and becoming.

Be a catalyst, not a constraint. Recognize the unique abilities of each person; every team holds unrealized potential. Set more challenging goals. Foster open dialogue. Delegate responsibility swiftly. Small changes, significant outcomes.

Identify a strength in someone today that isn't in their job description. Highlight it. You'll be amazed at how much engagement and confidence it ignites. Multipliers recognize and celebrate hidden talents. Sometimes, that's all it takes to transform a career path.

Modern apps encourage your brain to enjoy constant novelty, enhancing your focus with quick dopamine hits. This isn't a personal shortcoming; the system is designed to engage you. Strengthening attention involves retraining both your brain chemistry and your environment.

Next time someone brings you a problem, try asking, "What do you think?" It's a dead simple habit that fosters independence and trust. Leaders who offer advice too quickly deprive their team of growth opportunities. Resist the urge to fix; watch people step up.

Fear of failure is normal, but regret weighs more than embarrassment. You fail the moment you choose not to try. The future belongs to those who risk looking foolish and do it anyway.

Centralizing AI memory (think: MCP + markdown) is quietly revolutionary. It seamlessly syncs notes and context across tools, eliminating the need to repeat yourself. The only downside? Mobile still lags behind. Universal, editable memory must be the next step.

Everyone claims, "I don't have time," but there's always room for distractions. The truth is, it's not about time. It's about urgency. Make your dreams urgent, or you'll watch them slip by while you're busy.

You don't resemble your goals. You embody your habits. Effort never lies.

Happy Google Pixel day to those who celebrate

Everyone's chasing cheaper tokens, but here's the kicker: smarter AI increases token use per query. Think of it like a faster car: you cover more miles, and you burn more fuel. Efficiency gains vanish as usage outpaces them.

When introducing creatine into your supplement regimen: - Choose powdered monohydrate form for efficacy - Avoid additives and sugary gummies - Start with 2-5g daily Consistency is the most important thing. Also, maintain hydration to enhance it's absorption and efficacy.

Most people think creatine is only for bodybuilders, but its benefits extend much further. Think faster recovery, sharper thinking, and even heart support. I've noticed significant improvements in energy and resilience, even without pursuing muscle gains.

I finally got my personal site moved over to self-hosted Ghost 6 using Dokploy and a Hostinger VPS. Getting ActivityPub to work was more of a headache than I expected. Next, I need to restore my theme and content images, but that can wait until tomorrow.

Traditional AI accelerates processes, but compounding engineering transforms everything. Each code review, bug fix, or architectural discussion becomes a learning opportunity for the system, allowing my codebases to evolve daily.

Took me decades to realize: nutrition isn’t just about eating less. High-protein, nutrient-dense foods fuel mood, strength, and longevity. Start now. Your future self will thank you in ways you can’t imagine yet.

Luxury isn’t money. It’s the ability to spend your time how you want, with a peaceful mind, surrounded by meaning — maybe in bed a little longer than you should be. The rest is just marketing.

Just attempted to set up our backyard camera for the fiftieth time, and I found myself pausing to search if it’s spelled "back yard" or "backyard." And why is it "front yard" instead of "frontyard"? None of this makes sense, and I'm taking it personally.

Joy is a black short slub curved-hem @buckmason.bsky.social tee

Really loving @futurefitapp.bsky.social — starting my second full week, and just finished my fifth workout. Having a personal trainer to work with, build a custom regimen with me, walk me through it, help me improve my form/posture — all from home, has really made an enormous difference.

We put up a little catnasium today 😸

Diving into Dokploy Cloud this weekend — I keep hearing so much about it, figured it's time to finally try it on for size. Setup a Hostinger VPS to connect it up with. Incredibly impressed so far — extraordinarily high level of polish to the UX

If you love Claude Code but want a little more of an integrated experience, Cline supports using Claude Code as it's API provider. Works great and can take advantage of your Claude Max subscription.
