Enthusiastic hacker. Startup veteran (Rill Data, Retool, Looker, Apptio). I like it when things "just work" but have been known to tweak bits and bytes to get things "just so".
Nice first test run of Beads (github.com/steveyegge/b...) from @steve-yegge.bsky.social.

A new tool slotting smoothly into an existing project is nice. It really jibes with my way of thinking to have the coding agent use a real-but-lightweight issue tracker. Good summary from Claude on completion.

A bit inspired by @simonwillison.net 's stream of vibe-coded "low stakes" tools, was pleased with Claude's take on explaining composition effects. The ratio of a subset of unique counts to the total unique count falls the longer the time window. Which still boggles my mind. How can 7 x 29 = 6?!

Had my first Zoom call of the year today - audio problems made me grateful I wasn't the main speaker! The culprit was app memory bloat.

Since I don't have a 192GB Mac that won't be the real consumption by Acrobat, the memory thief could be something else altogether. But that caught my eye!
