Publicly committing so I don't tinker too much:
My new personal website goes live this weekend 🙌
Just need to make some final touches and set up the hosting, then we're good to go.

One skill I recently created for Claude Code and quite enjoy using is called "continuous-learning".
It goes through the last n git commands and identifies learning opportunities that could be documented in CLAUDE.md or specialized files.

I'm currently building v2 of my personal site with @getkirby.com.
The core idea is to have a unified feed of all my content in one place.
I've now backfilled my whole Twitter archive + regularly fetch posts from Bluesky. So cool seeing everything come together.

Agent Skills in general really are one of the best innovations of the last couple of months when it comes to coding agents.
I'm experimenting quite a lot with them these days and it's so interesting. Especially because they are essentially just .md files (with additional references, if needed).

Interesting Claude Code skill to get more polished designs. Especially handy if you don't have a fixed design ready and want to iterate.
I used to just append prompts with "Think about how Dieter Rams would approach this", but this skill is so much more comprehensive.

The biggest misunderstanding about ATProto is thinking it’s a social protocol, rather than a new internet protocol.
I say this because until recently that’s how I viewed it. @standard.site was the gateway to understanding the ATProto, lexicons, and how a simple protocol can open the web again.

99% of the actually useful tips that help me with using AI in my coding workflow comes from people who've been in the industry for many years/decades.
Folks like @aaronfrancis.com, @simonwillison.net, et al.
It's usually the calmer, less "hype-y" advice we should pay more attention to.

They say AI is the end for developers.
They say the job market is gone.
They say learning to code is pointless.
I don’t buy it.

Curiosity got the best of me: I built an aggregator for @standard.site 😅 Very much a first iteration and could use a lot more features, but a fun challenge all the same. Will probably do another blog post about the process and architecture when I have time!

After a long day, I wasn't too keen on still having to go through a mock exam for tomorrow.
So I just let Claude Code gamify it a bit for me, and it was way more fun than ticking some boxes on a sheet of paper :)
There's a store for buying fancy themes & cursors + an occasional puppy gif 🐶

If you are still trying your best to make great stuff, share wisdom and make tools that help people achieve their dreams, you are very cool and have my respect.
My favorite social media is when people are sharing craft and supporting their friends. Its what makes the web fun

What a cool idea!
I've been quietly building kindling.wtf — a regenerative feed layer that removes cruelty without removing controversy.
The idea: your feed shouldn't be full of spite masquerading as reasonable commentary, but it also shouldn't sanitize away legitimate anger at injustice.

Bluesky should add a "Why did I follow this person"-note field to each profile.
I regularly go through my follows to clean them up and sometimes, it's really hard to reconstruct (or guess) why I followed someone.
