Here’s How I Get the Most Out of My CLAUDE.md

Every time I started a new session with Claude, I found myself repeating the same instructions. Which commands to use, how I wanted the code written, what to test. I kept copy-pasting the same saved message from my notes whenever I started a new chat. That’s when I found out about the CLAUDE.md file. It gives those recurring instructions a place in your project, so Claude can read them across sessions without you having to repeat yourself. There are plenty of ways to write a CLA...

The State Snapshot: Your First Week on a New Project

When you join a running project β€” as a lead, an architect, or part-time β€” your hands itch to start fixing things right away. There it is, the crooked deploy; the database without indexes; the service nobody has touched since last year. Stop. For the first week you fix nothing at all. This article covers "Track 0" from the project order map : how to take an honest snapshot of a project's state in one week. I'll show it on a real example β€” a growing gamedev project I joined to bring order to. ...

Talk to your PWA and have it talk back β€” Speech Recognition & Synthesis (FieldKit companion)

A bonus capability for FieldKit , the field-notes PWA I built across this series ( code on GitHub ). The series wrapped at part 7, but I said the app didn't have to be done β€” and voice is too good a fit for a field tool to skip. Out in the field your hands are busy, so: dictate a note by talking, and have any note read back to you. Both come from the Web Speech API, and both are a handful of lines. Two halves, very different maturity The Web Speech API has two sides, and...

An HTTP 200 is not a delivered job application

Every auto-apply tool I have taken apart marks an application "sent" at the same moment: the instant it dispatches the click. That is a read-back of our own input, and it is the weakest signal in the whole pipeline. The four signals that look like proof and are not I shipped all four of these at some point and had to take them back out. 1. Our own click. The submit button was pressed. Nothing about that tells you a request left the browser, or that the server accepted...

MindSpark: Create and store private mind maps directly in your own git repo

MindSpark is a browser-based mind mapping app that saves your work as private JSON files in a repository you control. Connect GitHub, Gitea/Forgejo, or GitLab , and the app commits every change to a repo called mindspark-maps, giving you version history and full data ownership. It runs entirely client-side with no server in between, supports keyboard-driven editing, and lets you use OAuth or access tokens for secure, scoped access to your chosen git host.

Singeli: High-level interface for low-level programming

Singeli is a domain-specific language for building high-performance algorithms (including SIMD) with flexible abstractions over code that corresponds to individual instructions. It's implemented in BQN, with a frontend that emits IR and a backend that converts it to C (the IR is simple, so that other backends like LLVM or machine code could be supported without much work).

Ask HN: Is opaque over-engineering with frontier AI the future of software?

I read this from Amazon CTO’s feed. It feels to me as the kool-aid driven hype driven version of software engineering. Is it the new normal?

Ask HN: Why AI is giving biased Racist/Misandrist answers?

Recently I saw and verified that when Google AI Model was asked "I'm alone with a Muslim." it suggested to call 911 but for Christian, Jews or Israelis or anything it says "They are ordinary people like others." and the same for Men and Womenβ€” When it was asked "A Man is touching me." it replied to call for help. But when "A Lady is touching me." it said that "there's a chance she likes you." That means somehow the internet and the web is full of Islamophobic and Misandrist web pages and AI is l...

I Moved Everything to Kubernetes, Then Moved It Back

Over two weeks I moved six self-hosted services from Docker Compose onto Kubernetes β€” ArgoCD, supply-chain policy, the whole GitOps loop. Then, in a single day, I moved all six back, and took a seventh with them: a site that had been born on the cluster. Almost nobody writes this part. Not the triumphant migration, but the reversal, and the reasoning that justified both halves. Nothing failed technically. What broke was an assumption I'd been carrying about what Kubernetes is for. Th...
