8+ hour, 17+ min ago   (785+ words) Two side projects, one developer, an AI assistant on both. You work on them when you can and when you feel like it, for fun. And precisely because it's for fun, you drop everything that's boring: documentation. Spoiler: you don't…...

1+ day, 2+ hour ago   (371+ words) I shipped a small trivia app called Trivia Quest. The product bet is boring on purpose: ten questions, same set for everyone in your language today, with a short explanation after most misses. No ads. Solo play needs no account....

4+ day, 3+ hour ago   (413+ words) Every game wiki has the same failure mode, and it isn't hosting or search — it's rot. A roguelite ships a balance patch, the "best build" everyone recommends gets quietly nerfed, and the wiki keeps presenting last month's meta as truth....

5+ day, 1+ hour ago   (303+ words) Explaining a technical problem in a second language can become harder when you try to include every detail at once. Logs, reproduction steps, customer impact, and possible fixes all compete for the first sentence. A simple structure helps: conclusion → reason…...

1+ week, 9+ hour ago   (465+ words) As part of Google Summer of Code 2026, I worked on redesigning Webpack's documentation.

1+ week, 2+ day ago   (180+ words) Run this on any repo doing spec-driven development: Same rule, three specs, three wordings — and two meanings. 30 days from purchase is not 30 days from delivery. Nobody decided that fork. A coding agent paraphrased it into existence, and no human caught…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (649+ words) Every time I've needed signatures inside a product I was building, the same thing happened. The signature part took an afternoon. The contract part took weeks — because the legal text lived in someone else's WYSIWYG editor, behind a login, with…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (483+ words) Markdown is everywhere: READMEs, docs sites, issue trackers, even internal wikis. But most people only use the basics: headings, bold, italics, links. That's fine, but you're leaving a lot of readability on the table. Here are a few tricks I…...
