Open-sourced Chief — a CLI that wraps Claude Code in a loop and works through your project task by task.
Define a PRD, run chief, go do literally anything else. It commits after each task and picks up where it left off.
Zero config. Single binary. Pretty TUI.

As many of you know, alongside @larabelles.com, I’m also a horsey girl!
I’m building a tool to solve the yard-life problems I deal with, very much scratching my own itch.
It’s called YardKit. Early days, but it’s happening!
If horses are your world too, I’d love your support 🫶

This post continues to generate conversation 😅 But I've noticed something interesting about where that conversation is happening:
- lots of positive comments from team leaders/founders...mostly in DMs
- lots of negative comments... from engineers publicly as replies

Turns out Otter.ai struggles with transcribing non-American accents (all speaking English). Are there other services that are better?
It even got tripped up on British accents, which really surprises me

Hot take: within the next six months we're going to see the emergence of "AI Ops Engineers" whose job it is to create custom tooling to be used across an organization (like DevOps but for AI)
The shortened project lifecycle is absolutely the result of our custom tooling shared across the team, and people/orgs without that aren’t going to have those kind of results

Gave a talk on Ralph Loops at the Copenhagen Laravel Meetup last night. Still pretty new to this, but it's been seriously addictive -- there's something weirdly satisfying about going to bed and waking up to a fully working app.

this is why coding is fun to me now, they cut out the boring parts
This image from my blog post earlier this week really seems to be unexpectedly resonating.
With Claude Code, our total project time is way down, but how engineers spend their time is very different. More architecture, more QA, less coding. www.geocod.io/code-and-coo...

Noticing a shift in perspective and lingo among eng and founder friends:
1 year ago: "vibe coding" had a negative connotation
Now: fewer people are talking about vibe coding, and instead about "hand-chiseling code" to refer to the now-antiquated practice of writing everything without AI
