American healthcare is a joke but being in Alabama it's even worse. My doctor prescribed Vizz eye drops but insurance barely pays any towards it. Apparently sight is a convenience. It was $178 for a month's supply of eye drops WITH insurance. Needless to say I didn't get them.

If you have a website but try to force me to use your app I think I'm done with you. The apps barely even work most of the time. This needs to die.

The boss messaged me and told me she wants to play CoD tonight. It's a tough job but I'm happy to do it. She might be better than me at smg/ar but she can't jump for shit. Don't tell her either of those things, I'll deny I was even here.

Got some really shitty news about my dad's health. I don't know how to deal with this. Gonna spend as much time with him as possible. I don't know what else to do. What a fucking gut punch.

Local friend stopped by today to compare notes on what we've been doing with AI. It was fun to show off in person and geek out a bit. He's on a similar path as me so it's nice to bounce ideas and see how other people solve the same problems.

I'm pretty sure with this ui builder that I can make it trivial for end users to hot swap between most react component libraries AND livewire based ui components like Flux. Not bad for a backend dev.

I accidentally created a laravel/php -> react builder. I was just trying to make it easy to quickly throw together Shadcn components for AI agents. This code generates a db config that powers the UI components. Is this what they mean by cooking? (See the result in the comments).

Day zero of using Jira without it being janky and just doing random shit when I click on the estimate input.

Working on the markdown editor for todos/notes. This is an early prototype ui/ux for a bigger project (Fragments Engine) and I'm pretty happy with how it's coming along.

I built the tool before I bought the domain. Talk about bold. planck.ing coming soon. Todos without the friction.

Charging for dark mode as a feature to push your pro subscription is about as petty as you can get.

AI Agents work harder and do better work if you gas them up. I don't have stats to back that up yet but they've stopped cussing so that's for sure a good sign.

I know writing a todo app is cliche and I've written a few of them but I finally nailed it. I'm obsessing over eliminating friction points I find in most todo apps and it's been paying off. Still a few rough spots that I'll figure out through usage.

Coding with AI will make you a better dev. You'll spend a lot of time debugging brand new code because they change 25% of it every time they touch it. Every 4 turns it's a whole new codebase. One minute it's javascript the next it's python.

Planck is already getting killer reviews. From the one user it has said "it was like it was made specifically for him". I think he might be biased but, he's not wrong. It really is that good.

The todo.txt compatible app (Planck) that I built with Opencode + Claude Sonnet 4.5 w/ React/Go/Wails is is pretty slick. It works exactly the way I want. The radial menu is dope. Bonus, agents can use it in headless mode. Cloud sync, import/export, and basic themes. Beta soon.

AI coding agents be like: Completed all 10 todo's! This is production ready!
When you look one of those things is half implemented and it removed 5 previously working features.
They need SOLID guardrails and you need to kill them and restart at the first sign of failure.

Whipped up a new app tonight: Planck. It's a simple gui compatible with todo.txt. MVP is working great. Need to add import/export for todo.txt files and a few other polish items and it'll be ready for users to try out. I'm already using it. React/Go/Wails.

I have to add a couple more small details to Nanite and polish up the ui/ux and it'll be a really solid mvp. React and Go are actually pretty damn fun for desktop + headless type apps like this.

Friday I wanted to automate creating projects. That idea grew into Nanite. You can schedule blueprints (like Terraform) or run them on demand. I wanted re-usable helpers for my AI agents. This is way more useful that it seems. Quick demo (video only): www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBdL...

Have an idea and a good name for another app. I already have an PoC working. Should have an MVP tomorrow. It doesn't do a lot, but I already love it.

I'm so excited, I finally solved the last detail on my UI Engine for Fragments. It lets me build UIs from config at runtime. Right now it's powered by Shadcn components but could use any React components. I need to wire up several more components and I'll do a video.

My favorite thing about JavaScript is when you change one line of code and then you have to rewrite the entire app because you just broke everything.
Skill issue. Beat you to it.

Major breakthrough last night. Been working on a config based component/layout system. I didn't even build a UI for it. I showed the AI what the schema should look like, then had them build components, then had them build the ui to manage the ui builder components. Inception!
