I'm looking for #Ruby or #Elixir work, can start immediately. Freelancer, getter-of-things-done, many years of experience, feel free to DM for more info. Can work worldwide.

Happy to work with other languages/frameworks and devops as needed.

Re-brand! One Man Band is now shellflow.dev

As I build this tool, I'm spending most of my dev time in it. This means it's becoming less of just a worktree manager for LLM tools and more of a general-purpose terminal wrapper that includes workflow tools.

Still iterating and discovering new uses!

If you're using `puma-dev` (having `.test` domains and automatic HTTPS is super nice!) but want HTTP2+ support + all the benefits of caddy, I've started work on a small script/setup that provides a `puma-dev` like experience, but using `caddy`!

I can't get enough of sadness lately. Alcest has always been a personal favourite band of mine, and sadness scratches the same itch whilst they both sound unique. #shoegaze #post-metal

People often ask me me, "Jamie, why do you make up these interactions with strangers coming up to you and asking you things?"

And I tell them: "Everyone's doing it!"

Released One Man Band 0.2.0. It's now capable enough that I'm using it to build itself alongside another project. Terminal notifications, progress, task running, and of course worktree management.

Now installable via brew (my tap, for now — check instructions).

Apparently, notarizing an app can take literal days the first time you do it and there appears no way to cancel old runs.

Had good experiences using Conductor but wanted more simplicity. Worktrunk is nice but I miss some GUI. So I built my own!

It's a GUI git worktree orchestrator, which works with #Claude or #Opencode or whatever. More features coming...

In Flames was 16-year-old me's favourite band. Listening today, so much nostalgia. And yet, while it's hard to put those nostalgia goggles down, I can't shake the feeling that Clayman is a top-tier album.

TIL from a worktree you can get the base repo's `.git` path with `git rev-parse --path-format=absolute --git-common-dir`. Add `/..` onto the end and you're back at the base repo path. Very useful for worktree startup scripts.

If only we were all so reflective as Wouter.
Interessant artikel. We zijn benieuwd, wat vind jij hiervan?
