Welcome to my digital garden – a space dedicated to exploring technology and sharing what I’ve been learning. This site reflects my passion for continuous learning and open-source software, wherein I document my journey, offer insights, and dive into miscellaneous topics that reflect my interest. My goal is to maintain a corner of the Web for self-expression focused on valuable, distraction-free content. I believe in the power of the Open Web as a platform for sharing knowledge.

Previously. Problem statement: one of my skills, /pr-pass, was a hand-rolled loop — push, poll CI, fix a failure, re-push, repeat, bail after five iterations. It works quite well, and it’s one of my most used skills. That said, recently...
Today in AGI: two Claude agents, same annotation, opposite answers. I had a PR touching an ArgoCD PostSync hook. Ordering hooks within a phase needs an annotation, so I asked; Claude Code (Opus 4.8) and Claude in GitHub disagreed: Claude...

Problem statement: my Claude Code skills lived in my .dotfiles, usable only on the machine that cloned them. I wanted them to be installable anywhere with one command, so that (for example) my teammates could easily adopt them. Claude...
Long Claude Code sessions eat a lot of context, fast. Each response injects tokens into the context window: prose-heavy replies burn through it faster than terse ones ($$). caveman is a Claude Code plugin that switches the model into a...
Previously. Problem statement: espanso edit corp opens a config file, but saving it doesn’t take immediate effect. At $DAILYJOB I keep a separate match file for work-specific snippets (“corp”). Espanso supports multiple match files under...
Problem statement: the Keychron K2 (C3, stock firmware) disconnects from macOS after ~10 minutes idle — and there’s no way to prevent it. I spent some time looking for a fix. The usual suggestions: Disable Bluetooth auto-sleep in macOS?...
Problem statement: prek can’t clone a repo: that lives in an internal (private) GitHub repo — https:// clone fails without credentials. I forked my personal pre-commit-hooks into an org-owned repo and updated all our...
