Look at this. This is what I have shipped so far in a single week and growing (full list here):

The page had a date, a time, and a custom Eleventy collection sort. That sounds like the whole problem space. Sort by date plus time, reverse the collection for newest first, done. Instead, April 12 was rendering in a strange order: 00:01, 10:11, 22:16, 15:49, 22:20.

Here is the kind of Discord message this setup produces:

This post is part personal log, part technical retrospective. It covers the tools I used, what surprised me, where the AI fell flat, and the biggest shifts in how I think about building things now.

This post walks through how I built an everywhere-accessible but publicly invisible ingress engine using Tailscale, Docker, Caddy, and DNS rewrites. The result is a private, domain-based setup that behaves like a small cloud. It has HTTPS, clean hostnames, and reverse proxying, but is only accessible to me, lives on my own machine, and never touches the public internet.

Here’s the real path, from zero to working, with the errors along the way and what each one actually meant.

Analytics turned into a blind spot once I shut off the usual trackers. I needed something:

The idea that finally nudged it forward was simple: why not let GPT (Codex) do the heavy lifting while I steer?

Plain tmux attach gets close, but the shared "current window" breaks the illusion. When I switch to another window in my main terminal, all other tmux clients jump to the same window and interrupts whatever flow I was in. I wanted tmux to be stateful and multi-focus.

Every section in this story layers on the next, building toward the “I can’t believe my phone is a full dev studio” moment at the end—so if you can, read it through. The payoff is worth it.

This post explores the different ways to install and manage Rust on macOS — from the convenience of Homebrew to the flexibility of rustup, and the transparency of manual or containerized setups. The goal is simple: give you control and understanding without sacrificing practicality.

That mix finally landed this week: a {% github %} shortcode that fetches code at build time, highlights it, numbers each line, and offers a copy button. All it needs is the GitHub blob URL and an optional style flag for light or dark chrome.

Here’s the story of what happened and what I learned along the way.

Let me walk through what I’ve learned.

This is the story of following the trail from mysterious redirects to CORS ghosts and finally to Firefox’s stealthy sendBeacon API.

If you haven’t heard of it, Tailscale is a secure, easy-to-use mesh VPN built on WireGuard. It lets your devices talk to each other as if they were on the same local network, no matter where in the world they are.

So the mystery: why do VPS connections work, but Mac connections fail?

This blog is half technical walkthrough, half personal reflection. It’s the story of how I explored Cloudflare Tunnel, discovered Tailscale, refined my workflow with tmux and iTerm, and ultimately unlocked the freedom of having a fully fledged Mac in my pocket.

Here is an example card for this blog post.

Along the way I discovered both the joy of fast iteration and the limits of relying on an AI partner. These projects became less about the sites themselves and more about exploring a new style of programming — conversational, creative, and sometimes flawed, but always eye-opening.

I wanted something lightweight—easy to spin up and even easier to tweak. So I dove in: building a small 11ty + Tachyons site from scratch, pushing every iteration live in under a minute, and watching her face light up with each update even though she’s halfway across the country.
