Making more progress on cog-cli's debugger daemon. Here is Claude Code driving the debugger on a C program and inspecting memory, setting its own breakpoints on LOC and on function invocation.

Some improvement to Cog's path finding weights and I've started to close the gap with direct code exploration.
February 13, 2026 at 12:03 AM
I've started benchmarking Cog to actual code exploration (CE). CE is outpacing Cog in the answer category but at a significantly higher cost. And I am certain I can continue to close that gap over the next few weeks.

Using Cog to build Cog

Bootstrapping projects with Cog and querying it for what the brain knows.

We now have open invites for more testing accounts. Grab a spot on trycog.ai

I'm opening a 2nd cohort for Cog this week. If you'd like to add long-term memory to your coding agent DM me.

I need some people to test a new product I've been building, it's for long-term memory. Ideally you're:

- using Claude Code
- working on something from moderate to high complexity
- favor long-running sessions (this includes but not limited to Ralph loop)

Everything about the post 9/11 security state has been weaponized to be culture war rather than serious institutions. It’s all racism, it’s all cowardice, it’s all performative. Nobody in an ice uniform or dhs has a mission or apparently ethics- it’s just lulz.

A few people have asked, so I extracted the diagnostics code from my type checker into its own package: github.com/QuinnWilton/...

This could probably use some more battle-testing, but I tossed in some examples for using it with macros, a complex DSL, with nimble_parsec, and for validating yaml.

More @react.dev running in our headless browser rendering to SwiftUI. This is a true native app developed with server-driven UI web developer ergonomics.
January 8, 2026 at 8:44 PM
This article does a good job articulating why I'm building a browser from scratch rather than take Chromium and pop the HTML render layer off.

Native app bloat is out of control.
Browsers are hugely bloated.

Thanks @sanders.senate.gov not for just having my back below, but the backs of all working class Americans. I was proud to co-chair your campaign in 2020. Your integrity is the reason you won CA-17 and California decisively!

Component Showcase with @react.dev rendering native SwiftUI in our headless browser from server-driven UI.

Yeah, it's a word salad but it all works and works well.
