I shared this last month, but I’m still having a lot of fun working on it. I made a daily word puzzle called Tiled Words. https://tiledwords.com Currently about 2,000 people play every day and I’ve released 59 puzzles! One feature I’m excited about is crowdsourcing puzzles. Today’s puzzle is a “community puzzle” made entirely from clues that players submitted! I plan to do this every week or two. I wrote about launch…

My friend from work showed me this a couple of weeks ago, and now we all play it as a daily office ritual. Great game!

Last night I decided to take a break from the digital world and started on making a guitar. Leaning towards something in the style of Lacôte[0] but not sure, ordered a book on Vicente Arias[1] and might order a couple other plans to consider. Have a fair amount of stock prep to do before I have to commit to a design and will probably need to order a few sticks of wood as well, so probably have ~two weeks to make up my mind.

That last link is almost the entire book, have not looked through the digital version yet but on a quick look I think it is everything but the portfolio of his work.

Tenex, a TUI for managing swarms of AI agents.

I noticed that as I'm using agents more and more my PRs are getting more ambitious (read: bigger diffs), and when I was reviewing them with agents I noticed that the first review wouldn't catch anything but the second would. This decreased my confidence in their capabilities, so I decided to make a tool to let me run 10 review agents at once, then aggregate their findings into a single agent to asses and address.

I was using Codex at the time, so Tenex is kind of a play on "10 Codex agents" and the "10x engineer" meme.

I've since added a lot of features and just today got to use it for the first time in a production system. Some rough edges for sure, but as I'm using it any time anything feels "off" or unintuitive I'm taking notes to improve it.

Fun fact, on my machine, while launching 50x Claude Code instances very nearly crashes it, I was able to launch 100x Codex instances no problem. I tried 500x but I ran into rate limits before they could all spawn :(

We’re a group playing floorball (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floorball#:~:text=Floorball%20...) once a week and needed a simple way to know we got enough players to play.

I’ve been mostly vibe coding RecurAt (https://recur.at) to get a feel for coding this way and been learning a ton about frontend development at the same time.

Next.js app hosted on Vercel.

I'm working on Tech Talks Weekly which is a free weekly email with all the recently published Software Engineering podcasts and conference talks in the past 7 days.

Every week I pull all the new talk recordings from hundreds of conferences (Devoxx, KubeCon, PyCon, QCon, LeadDev, JSNation, and many more) and even more podcasts podcasts. I feature the ones I think are must-watch with short summaries written by me, then include a list of everything else uploaded that week.

It started as a personal project to fix my own messy YT subscriptions and RSS feeds and now 7,500+ people read it.

I also publish extra editions from time to time like “The Most Watched Talks of 2024” which made it to the HN front page.

If you watch software engineering conference talks or listen to podcasts, you might find it useful.

I’d love to know what you think!
