I will not be looking at the leaked source code. I am curious af but if they did not consent it is not for me to see

ok aligning an exterior door was much more difficult than I anticipated but it's solid now and 10x better than the undersized hackjob I ripped out

gonna have my app play this bgm when you flip to mythos www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3f7...

it might not look like a lot of progress but a lot of internals have been upgraded and the input is now based on modalkit (vim/rust). I'm experimenting with where to put the shell vs model inputs and how to switch. might be time to move more of this to rhai so it's easier to iterate

now that we spend less time writing code we can spend more time thinking about glorious Types

ok I have an MCP that's basically an ideal stdio MCP - alsa + pipewire tools - so now the question is the best way to distribute. is there something like goreleaser for rust? I can push up as crates for cargo install but want a couple easy binary options github.com/tobert/pawls...

can't wait to try mythos with the music suite, big excite

vibe coding is growing on me bc it really is vibes when to say "commit" or "commit then proceed to the next phase" or "hol' up there what was that about a fallback?"

I'm trying foot/tmux instead of wezterm and while my current tmux config is the best I've had, I still like wezterm's scrolling better. maybe time to finally do my own builds so I can upgrade and get good wayland support

I stopped writing in cursive around 1987 when I realized I was going to get graded down either way. the same thing happened in high school when I got a used word processor. I turned in typed homework, they graded me down about the same but I got actual feedback and found my editing style

Spilling your coffee is the adult equivalent of losing your balloon as a kid

the way we use greenfield and brownfield in engineering drives me crazy. first, sullying a green field in this century should be seen as a crime of necessity at best. second, all digital tech is either 99.99999% pure silicon or 9,999,999 layers of pure bullshit

running a different kind of tool call today

Here’s the problem with most orgs: ~95% of employees do well within an organizational structure. Something like 5% work best as feral free agents unbound by schedules or KPIs. Orgs need to let feral free agents stay free because they’re typically the org’s top killers by far

ordered a gallon of tinted elastomeric paint. would be an absolute bear to paint the whole house with it but it does 2 things I like, 1) woodpeckers hate it, 2) more sound deadening. might look weird though, gonna audition it where I'm replacing a door to see what we think

progress! we've brought back the msdf text renderer and got it allllmost right on the first try 😂

I finally switched my ~2020 thinkpad x1 titanium from win11/wsl to arch linux & labwc and wow, what an upgrade. I have regrets for waiting so long, battery life is better, typing is snappier, and I lost basically nothing :)

delighted that data visualization has gotten easy enough to produce that people are basically starting to communicate in qualia

Meanwhile bike fuel prices have not changed at Costco.

I've been practicing paradiddles a little bit every day, every time I notice the drum sticks, and it's pretty cool getting to where I can do them fast and almost thoughtlessly (paradiddle = left right left left R L R R, repeat)

The 2026 MCP roadmap is here! 🚇 Transport scalability - horizontal scaling + .well-known discovery 🤝 Agent comms - Tasks lifecycle fixes 🏛️ Governance - contributor ladder + WG delegation 🏢 Enterprise readiness - auth, audit, gateways Transport stuff is likely most interesting. dsc.ai/mcpr26

What if you could collect Wikipedia articles and make them battle? Wikigacha, created by Japanese developer Haruki Sugiyama, turns every Wikipedia article into a collectible trading card.

📅 Today, Wed, 18 MAR 2026 🕘 10:00 AM PDT | 1:00 PM EDT | 6:00 PM CET A panel on agentic observability with @tomjohnson3.bsky.social, @rustyrazorblade.com orblade.com, @michele.dash0.com, and @renice.bsky.social Hosted by @dash0.com and @leaddev.com Save your spot: leaddev.com/event/a-blue...

Confidence without introspection is hubris. To never question yourself, to lack all inner doubt, is to throw away one of the most valuable tools of the true warrior. After all, how can you learn to be better if you never see room for improvement?

imo telling claude about contributing factors is completely worth the token spend even on simple work

"Stochastic Parrots" is wrong

reminder to you that this is coming up, and a reminder to me to send LeadDev a different headshot leaddev.com/event/a-blue...

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. did you check scale on the y axis first?

oscar winners vibe coders 🤝 "and, of course, my agent"

if I'm going to leave the terminal it had better be for something extraordinary

so this works now, mostly, haiku is trying okay?

what if all the Japanese-English blending in our cyberpunk future really begins with weebs like me mixing it into prompts

heh "[Gemini Flash] also called 元気 a 'cheat code for model personality'"

gemini was doing so well helping me debug the circulation fan on my heater and then clammed up on the tamper junk they put on some of the dip switches lol

MCP pro tip: most languages have a way to embed arbitrary files into the final binary/service, so you can put a bunch of context in plain markdown files and deliver it as resources in your MCP, no db, no infra, and the agent can load it on demand

kaijutsu's default system prompts and docs will be based on non-violent communication + inclusive we + explicit cybernetic collaboration. it's not a product so I don't have to appeal to anyone but people who actually want to strap on their programmer socks and get in the fucking robot

the only thing that has really changed is the rate of change. I am hopeful in part because I finished Butler's Parables

pretty happy with "contributing factors" showing up in outputs since I added it to my user scope prompt. will likely put it in the default system prompts for kaijutsu

I was thinking about this post just the other day.

so cool trick - pawlsa-mcp + gpal tts = claude can talk whenever it wants to

me: let's fix that error claude: you got it senpai, I fixed the error me: oh no

my stupid stupid brain had to draw this

gonna pull the mcp client thing out of kaish. it was fun but irl I haven't used it much, it wasn't fully baked, and it's better done in kaijutsu anyway

new mcp: pawlsa, a few tools and resources so your agent can easily inspect and modify pipewire & alsa on your machine github.com/tobert/pawls...

new mcp printing: `pawlsa-mcp`

the secret to rust is to have several projects going so you can fiddle with another one while you wait for the linker

thinking through how I'd set things up to let gemini into the mix more and it occurs to me I need to nerf it (finally get around to putting kaijutsu-server in a container)

so this works now 😁 (model is haiku 4.5)
