#62As an engineering manager and later a director, a regular and often difficult task was assigning ROI to projects that had recognizable but diffuse impact. It's easy to calculate a dollar figure for certain projects by projecting additional conversions or revenue. It's harder for a security or SRE project that doesn't have a direct impact on those things, but can help reduce risk or empower a bunch of other teams to operate more safely or move more quickly.
I have been working on a set of tools and standard formulas that can be applied to these cases and demonstrate a more accurate view of a team's or department's overall ROI. The plan is to open-source the bulk of it, but provide a hosted service for folks who don't want to manage it themselves.

I follow a bunch of gaming rss feeds just to keep up with what’s new in the industry. Figured I’d take those and turn them into a news aggregator to put them all into one place. Threw in some game deals/affiliate to pay the web hosting bills (hasn’t paid for anything yet, lol).

I tend to print a lot of stuff to read while disconnected. This is a tool to help squeeze as much content onto a printed page as possible instead of printing 4 or more pages per sheet.
A good use of Claude slop I'd argue. Currently trying to figure out how to set up the site so that an LLM tasked with printing content through it can figure out how to use it in the best way.

This is amazing! Very refreshing in the age of AI to see so much manual building going on. Sadly I don’t have much time myself but I have several friends who would love this, I’ll pass it on to them.
