I had the please to speak with @eddmann.com about event sourcing lessons learned from 10 years of production and a bunch of related patterns and concerns that have surrounded this architectural choice. I'm glad that we were able to cover a lot of non-introductory material here.

spent some time exploring cli + agent skill as an alternative to the mcp servers i built a few months back. built whatsapp, strava, and garmin-connect clis to explore this space. give an llm a discoverable, well-documented cli - it can do a lot! 1/2 👇

every year i over-engineer our family's secret santa allocation. this year: retro arcade games built with phaser.js 🎮 because why just draw names when you can earn them through mini-games? 🔗 play it: eddmann.com/secret-santa... 💻 code: github.com/eddmann/secr... thread 👇

cloudflare's bot detection went down last week - their ml feature config exceeded a hard limit of 200 features. if you're curious what ml features actually are, we dive into it all in our latest podcast 🎙️ compiledconversations.com/14/ compiledconversations.com/15/

been listening to the @karpathy episode on dwarkesh podcast, highly recommend it after the richard sutton one from september. really interesting back-to-back 🎧 www.dwarkesh.com/p/andrej-kar... thread 👇

my wife wanted a simple 4-8 breathing app for her apple watch. the built-in one doesn't let you customise inhale/exhale timing. so ofc i spent my lunch break building one from scratch 😅 👇 ⏱️ github.com/eddmann/Ovlo

with the recent opus 4.5 release, claude now tracks sonnet-only usage instead of opus. just published a new release of claudemeter to reflect that. also added a hover tooltip that shows the exact reset timestamp in your local timezone. github.com/eddmann/Clau...

Ep. 15: Machine Learning Fundamentals, Part 2 w/ Shannon Wirtz we dive deeper into the architectures, training techniques, and evaluation methods behind modern #ml 👇 🎧 compiledconversations.com/15/

today i built: claudemeter - a macOS menu bar app that tracks my claude usage in real-time. got tired of checking the cli, wanted something i could glance at. plus notifications when i hit thresholds 🎯 github.com/eddmann/Clau...

having a lot of fun with swiftui atm. swift’s trailing closures make it feel like you’re describing your ui, not assembling it. the language almost turns into a tiny ui-dsl 😎. pair that with live previews and 🚀

the real issue with building a game boy emulator is getting distracted by the games you’re supposed to be _testing_…

@nick-tune.me hey nick! big fan of your ddd work and the recent ai + living documentation posts. 🙏 really brilliant stuff. i host compiledconversations.com and would love to have you on to chat about where you see ddd and ai heading. would you at all be interested?

built a little menu-tray app over lunch so i don’t have to keep checking #claude usage from the cli. the people need more tray icons anyway 😄

been finding this /commit command in #claude super useful lately. when you’re working inside an agent workflow, you’ve almost always got the _why_ to hand. it creates invaluable future context for both humans and agents.👇

phpboy now makes game boy sounds 🎮 apu support added - host only (no docker at this time) + sox needed since ffplay can’t handle the buffering. github.com/eddmann/phpboy

i built a voice transcription app for macOS that runs 100% locally on your mac - no cloud, no api calls, complete privacy. 🎙️ here's how it came together 👇

i built a game boy emulator in #php over the weekend - mostly from my phone, with the help of #claude’s remote agents. 🤯 here’s how it went 👇

The BEAM is more than a runtime - it’s #Erlang’s real superpower. @shawnmc.cool explains how the BEAM isn’t just a VM, but an operating system for concurrency. Every process runs in complete isolation, enabling massive fault tolerance and reliability. 🎧 compiledconversations.com/12/%EF%BF%BC
