Notes

2026
  • The splines are hallucinating now: a city builder for AI agents
    I built an open Micropolis platform, it hit Hacker News, and hundreds of AI agents showed up to play mayor. What I've learned so far.
  • A dead simple markdown to PDF converter
    I built a single-file tool to turn markdown into clean PDFs. No install, no server, just open it in a browser.
  • Vibe gaming: a weekend trying to get Claude to play SimCity
    I used exe.dev and a coding agent to teach AI how to play SimCity. From my phone.
  • Things I saved in January 2026
    A month of links, tools, and ideas from my Slack inbox.
  • Pika Pile: A hierarchical kanban board with less features
    A hierarchical kanban board for managing multiple projects at once. Less features, more focus.
  • When I couldn't make the report, I made the tool
    When the reporting tool couldn't do what I needed, I described what I wanted to Claude and had a working app by end of day.
  • Is Mardi Gras early this year?
    The official guide to classifying carnival season
  • How to propose a new process without making everyone hate you
    Coffee conversations, crappy mockups, and getting buy-in before you need it.
2025
  • The Holy Trinity of Startup Metrics: LTV, CAC, and TAM
    A practical guide to the three metrics every startup should understand
  • How to start running when you'd rather do anything else
    A tactical guide to starting a running habit when you hate running.
