I learned to program with KidSIM and later Stagecast Creator, a spin-off of Apple's Advanced Technologies Research Group in the 90s. I'm re-creating it so a new generation can learn the fundamentals of object-oriented programming the same way I did. I've been working with Dave Canfield Smith (one of the original authors and also inventor of the icon ) and it's been a blast to bring back my earliest memories of programming. All open-source and free of course.

When I was working at amazon (left May 8) working on agents was all the rage. Combined with initiatives that set goals for nearly all services to have a MCP built and available by the end of the year agents will be even more emphasized in the future.

However what happens when you actually build and launch your agent is customers try it, do some initial runs and then go ask your manager to automate their use case. That is why I have been building https://toolscaled.com/ The goal being work through your problem space using agentic chat (like Claude Desktop) and then at the end convert it to a workflow. I am pretty close to launching and have been testing. If you're interested send me an email! (if you do sign up just fyi its still in beta so YMMV.

Still plugging away at Breaka Club, where kids take photos of their hand drawn art and build games using it. Starts out as no-code, photograph an AprilTag and it imbues the image with functionality. https://breaka.club/blog/why-were-building-clubs-for-kids We also teach kids visual scripting in Overcooked 2!, allowing kids to code their way through the levels of an existing much beloved game: https://youtu.be/ITWSL5l…

This is super cool! Nice work!

I'm making a TypeScript type checker in Rust.

tsz is my main side project. Trying to learn from this for how to make software in fully automated fashion. tsz's goal is to match tsc (tsgo) but perform better. I am not passing all tsc's own test cases and working towards making it work on complex type packages.
