CEO of Continue. I love dev tools and open source. I advise and build early startups. I’ve been fortunate to be part of Arch Rock, Cloudera, WibiData, Puppet, Docker, and Gitpod.

Finally sharing what I’ve been building for almost a year now! 🐢✨ Atuin Desktop: runbooks that run It’s open source and in open beta now 🥰 Built for engineers who need repeatable, reliable workflows. No more copy-pasting from slack or outdated docs

I've been spending a lot of time in terminals and TUIs like @continue.dev 's new CLI. I have always felt more comfortable in a terminal then in an IDE. I love my terminal and I spend entirely too much time messing with my dotfiles.

I left the continuous wind, fog, and cold of SF this morning. A drive and a few yard chores later it’s time to remind myself to remember that it’s summer somewhere. 82 with blue skies as far as the eyes can see.

I once turned a day-long build into 10 minutes by learning cross-compilation. Same energy is happening with AI tools. ‪@chiphuyen.bsky.social‬ tracked AI interruptions (24.5%), found the patterns, fixed her codebase structure. Intervention rates are the new build times 📊

We've got an industrial warehouse style heater in our brick and timber office. It kicked on this morning and alarmed an intern. There is fire in that box. Yup thats the office heater. But its summer. Yup thats San Francisco.

I think the term AI skeptic gets tossed around pretty casually nowadays. We are in a shift and all shifts follow a pattern. I know I don’t react well to hype, demo’ware, or do this or you’re doom narratives. Does that make me a skeptic? No, I’m all in, on a future where devs are amplified by AI.

A lot of my infra workflows live in Slack threads, docs, or buried in shell history. That sucked. I've been building Atuin Desktop. Local-first, CRDT-powered, executable runbooks - with integrated terminals, sql queries + monitoring blog.atuin.sh/atuin-deskto... Lmk if you have any questions <3
