Tried to get a monthly mobile broadband plan in Sweden now that I have: - personnummer - Swedish bank account - ID card from Skatteverket - Mobile BankID Salesperson says… “Have you got a work contract?” So tomorrow I have to bring in my work contract in order to get a monthly plan for 299 SEK.

Duolingo’s psychopath vibes game is strong!

I built a golf game using Claude Code, @svelte.dev, and @threlte.xyz. Quite fun for a few hours of work. Try it out: www.the-golf-is-golfing.com HN thread: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4701... #svelte #vite #gamedev #buildinpublic

Great piece in the FT about Jeff Buckley www.ft.com/content/33fe...

The FT comments this morning.

You can now drag and drop a MIDI file into the track timeline and have it be playable by the keyboard or guitar instruments. lets-make-sweet-music.com #buildinpublic

I built a little FPS with Svelte, Threlte and Vite, using Claude Opus 4.5. Added game controller support. And went from idea to production within 30 minutes, and spent one hour on it so far. www.mr-spankys-meatballs.com #buildinpublic #gamedev

Vibe debt - when you’ve been vibe coding so hard that your app has ended up with silly bugs.

Starting to find some bugs in Let’s Make Sweet Music. I calm this the AI hangover phase.

TIL in Gothenburg the buses have free WIFI. An absolute godsend when you’ve got a non-EU mobile phone.

When Claude Opus 4.5 one-shots it.

What if… the beat sequence could play the sounds of other instruments? five minutes later… lets-make-sweet-music.com #svelte #buildinpublic #claude

This beat slaps! lets-make-sweet-music.com

When you ask Claude Code to do a big change with few details in the prompt:

I introduced Claude Code to lets-make-sweet-music.com - fixed some bugs - made some UI enhancements - added track clip dragging support - added a drum machine Have fun! #buildinpublic

Babspixel.com now supports the Apple pen (and should support other stylus and tablets).

Oh, and still a rough WIP, but Babsland has traffic #buildinpublic

As for Babsland, I introduced Claude Code to it today, and now have support for map elevation, as well as better feedback for selecting and deleting entities in the map. Nice.

No editing of the asset image editor today (I’ve sort of run out of pressing features to implement). But it’s now available at… babspixel.com

Thank you Mark Carney - that is one heck of a speech. www.ft.com/content/7d96...

Added 2 new features to that asset image editor built with Claude Opus 4.5: - layers - file load/save in the browser (no backend needed) This is just mind-blowingly productive.

I wondered “Should I make an image asset editor in Svelte for Babsland?” I decided to give Claude Code Opus 4.5 a try. 45 minutes later, I have this: asset-editor-omega.vercel.app Code: github.com/paulbjensen/... My mind is completely blown.

Managed to resurrect a 5-years-old codebase for a dashboard application using a combo of ChatGPT 5.2, Claude Opus 4.5, and a massive amount of hurdle-jumping. But finally got this up and running again.

Watching Pluribus, and wondering “is that Howard’s voice?” on the recorded phone message? Well, surprise.

Finished the new documentation for Sarus (a Javascript library for WebSockets): sarus.anephenix.com Really happy with Starlight as a documentation library. Will now look to setup documentation for the other open source libraries that Anephenix has. #javascript

Great talk on CSS features at CascadiaJS 2025: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW6G...

ChatGPT, are you feeling ok?

Pluribus Episode 6 is just full of surprises - who could envisage a Turkish cover of the Doors' "When you're strange" for the end credits?

Starlight looks fantastic for building documentation sites: starlight.astro.build Currently porting Sarus' documentation to use it instead of the custom Next.js app version.

Mac OS’ case insensitive file system resolution strikes again. GitHub workflow (running Ubuntu) fails, and after a quick google I find myself looking at a blog post written 6 years ago… by me. medium.com/@paulbjensen...

Today I learned about Small Language Models: www.datacamp.com/blog/small-l... Quite appealing in terms of the ease of deployment, and more significantly the energy costs.

I have a contract that I want to sign in Sweden, but I have none of the 16 different authentication systems available to digitally sign the document with. 16 different authentication systems? How is this possible? Makes me appreciate the Estonian e-residency system even more.

This was so good. youtu.be/MtF4Tc5qDLA
