After building Spec Shaver as a CLI for trimming oversized OpenAPI specs, I kept finding myself wanting a visual way to do the same thing. SpecForge is what came out of that itch: a web app for importing, curating, and exporting OpenAPI specs in the browser.

Hitting OpenAI’s 1MB / 30-operation cap on Custom GPT actions when your real API has 150+ endpoints is maddening. Spec Shaver is the CLI I built to reduce a bloated OpenAPI spec down to the operations that actually matter, while keeping the schema valid.

Fargo Flags is the feature-flag toolkit I wished existed for Next.js: zero infrastructure, type-safe, and small enough to drop into any project. Here’s the design call that shaped it and the trade-off I’m still not sure about.

I built Vercel Doorman because clicking through firewall rules in a dashboard is the kind of thing infrastructure-as-code was supposed to fix. This is what it does, why JSON config beat a DSL, and what I’d change if I started over.

Why I rolled my own SVG path editor instead of reaching for an existing one – what the off-the-shelf options got wrong for my use case, and what I learned about Bezier curves trying to make the handles feel right.

Coco is the AI-powered Git assistant I built because I was tired of writing terrible commit messages at 11pm. The story of how it grew from a one-off script into something I now use daily across every project.

Augments started as a way to give my own AI workflows a consistent set of tools across machines. This is the story of what it does, what I left out, and the cybernetic-enhancements framing I leaned into.

A bash one-liner that lists your locally downloaded Ollama models, plus the equivalent in Python, Node.js, Go, and Rust. The command I kept rewriting until I just dropped it into a shell alias.

Overcome information overload with AI tools like Fabric. Intro on how I’m starting to augment and enhance how I consume and interact with content on the daily to learn more in less time.

You know those moments during vacation when you should be relaxing, but the creative coding brain just won’t shut off? That was me last week, sitting in an Airbnb with my laptop, a decent WiFi connection, and way too much coffee. The goal? Create my own version of the iconic Matrix digital rain effect – […]

Notes from making tFrogger feel like an arcade classic in a terminal: tuning movement to feel responsive without breaking the per-cell grid, and the legacy config-folder cleanup I should have done sooner.

Explore the joys of building terminal-based card games with a dive into my journey of recreating the classic Memory/Concentration card game using the ink-playing-cards library.

What I actually put in .npmignore (after the time I shipped a 600MB package by accident), why the package.json files field is usually the safer default, and the npm pack –dry-run check that saves you from publishing things you shouldn’t.
