I wasn't alive when North played at Arden Street.
The MCG & Docklands are amazing, but miss that VFL/AFL home-ground feel: the tribalism, feral fans having the "run of the place", & being so close to the action at *our* home.
At least YouTubers help fill the void:

Today's lesson: you can compile a Node project into a single executable with Bun.
No runtime dependencies, just a binary that runs.
Genuinely chuffed that something that should have been a whole thing turned out pretty straightforward.

Anthropic, OpenAI & Block donating their IP (MCP, AGENTS.md + Goose) to the AAIF is a two-edged sword.
Take #1: it’s textbook big-AI “play by our rules”.
Take #2: open standards = genuine opportunities for innovation for a wider range of players + builders.

Roadmap work today - wish me luck
Solo devs: any solid tips for keeping a long v1/mvp roadmap accurate (instead of just a pile of “yeah/nah" & "maybe later” lies)?

You have a “you wrote too many tools” problem. 🙋♂️

Look at this cheeky little potato - our daily walks & his bubbly little personality keep me sane. At 13 years old, we’re still hitting ~15k steps daily. Dogs really are the best. 🐾🥔

Final QA on WP Navigator v1. Bugs appearing out of nowhere. The “ship it now” demon on one shoulder, perfectionism on the other.
Lying to myself that “one more day” won’t become three.

Not sure if this counts as building in public, but iCloud Drive + Git = pain. iCloud placeholders confuse Git, my prompt sat on “loading” & git push stalled. Lesson learned 🫠

Claude 4.5 - where did @anthropic.com even pull this from?
Three Claude Code panes in iTerm across three repos and it’s just cruising. Add GPT-5 + GPT-5-Codex via Zen MCP = dream team.

New Claude 4.5! The one real eval today is Claude Code (or your internal evals if you use Claude via API).

The simple & solid power of lazy loading - I added LL content scripts to PaletteKit (an extension in the works), cutting initial load by 60%. Only inject what users need immediately, save the rest. 👌

If there’s one book I’d recommend to new vibecoders & AI devs, it’s Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows.
Start with the loops, not the code:
1. Map the feedback loops
2. Spot the leverage points
3. Decide where AI accelerates, smooths, or self-corrects

GPT5 discourse is fascinating. Half the community: 'It's broken!' Other half: 'It's revolutionary!' Me: 'It's January.'
All new models/tech need space: give it time, collect & action feedback, and watch them fly.
Until then, I'll stick with the incredible Claude 4 🙌🏻

TIL: I can use MutationObserver in content scripts to react to dynamic page changes without polling. So much cleaner than setTimeout loops. Why did it take me so long to discover this?

That moment when your schema validation works first go, so you spend another hour adding tests because something must be wrong. I'll take the wins I can get.

Been analysing my own writing patterns with NLP. Turns out I say "mate", "actually" and "like" way more than I realised.
"Could actually" is apparently my signature phrase.
Kinda wild seeing your writing behaviours quantified by code you wrote.

Day 2: the first Chrome extension is planned and the build starts today.
After years of project planning, the amount I *don’t know* about project planning still surprises me - what’s your approach to effective planning?
