To help with this I built a simple MCP server that gives agents a structured way to manage these processes. Works for any bash command really. Fun experiment in making AI tools more practical for actual development workflows.

I am terrible about keeping up with PRs I'm supposed to review so I wrote a little menubar app for macs to alert you when you are requested to review a PR. Right in your face so you can't ignore it. github.com/nstrayer/pr-...

I recent got a Fitbit again for a study I’m taking part in. Reminded me of this fun side project from grad school: a year as told by Fitbit. livefreeordichotomize.com/posts/2017-1...
Fun fact: a whole class of Stanford students analyzed my heart rate data for an assignment.

I have been slow to get on the AI train but I recently built a demo app to explore the idea of programming language translation using LLMs. The hypothesis being that adding context about the target environment can help. github.com/nstrayer/pol... #ai #rstats #python
