“There is no big lie. There is no system. The universe is indifferent” - Donald Draper
Oh, and still a rough WIP, but Babsland has traffic #buildinpublic

As for Babsland, I introduced Claude Code to it today, and now have support for map elevation, as well as better feedback for selecting and deleting entities in the map.

Nice.

No editing of the asset image editor today (I’ve sort of run out of pressing features to implement).

But it’s now available at… babspixel.com

Added 2 new features to that asset image editor built with Claude Opus 4.5:

- layers
- file load/save in the browser (no backend needed)

This is just mind-blowingly productive.

I wondered “Should I make an image asset editor in Svelte for Babsland?”

I decided to give Claude Code Opus 4.5 a try.

45 minutes later, I have this:

asset-editor-omega.vercel.app

Code: github.com/paulbjensen/...

My mind is completely blown.

Managed to resurrect a 5-years-old codebase for a dashboard application using a combo of ChatGPT 5.2, Claude Opus 4.5, and a massive amount of hurdle-jumping.

But finally got this up and running again.

Watching Pluribus, and wondering “is that Howard’s voice?” on the recorded phone message?

Well, surprise.

Finished the new documentation for Sarus (a Javascript library for WebSockets): sarus.anephenix.com

Really happy with Starlight as a documentation library. Will now look to setup documentation for the other open source libraries that Anephenix has.

Pluribus Episode 6 is just full of surprises - who could envisage a Turkish cover of the Doors' "When you're strange" for the end credits?

Starlight looks fantastic for building documentation sites:

starlight.astro.build

Currently porting Sarus' documentation to use it instead of the custom Next.js app version.

Mac OS’ case insensitive file system resolution strikes again.

GitHub workflow (running Ubuntu) fails, and after a quick google I find myself looking at a blog post written 6 years ago… by me.
