Notes

Occasional notes on things I build and explore.

  1. A detective story with Chrome’s built-in AI

    An investigation where on-device AI transcribes, examines, translates and fact-checks the evidence.

  2. Ox Alpha builds an ant colony

    The mystery Ox Alpha model skipped the usual space theme in my one-shot test.

  3. Infinite Wall

    An endless stream of Codex-generated wallpapers, built during OpenAI Build Week.

  4. Kimi K3 vs DeepSeek v4: the one-shot test

    Same one-page showcase test, clearly different league.

  5. Neo Duck Hunt

    Classic Duck Hunt with finger guns and jaw-drop triggers, built with MediaPipe and PixiJS.

  6. A tray app for fresh AI wallpapers

    Using GPT Image 2 to generate wallpapers from random characters, situations and places.

  7. SWE Doomsday Tracker

    Keeping score of how many months we have left before AI writes all the code.

  8. Testing DeepSeek v4

    A solid model and a new developer agent in my Hermes workflows.

  9. Hermes agents dashboard

    One view for Hermes agents running on a PC and a Raspberry Pi.

  10. My almost useless personal agent

    Hermes on a Raspberry Pi, a 64×64 LED matrix and a Codex-designed enclosure.

  11. Linear as the agents’ orchestrator

    Why so many AI coding agent tools are building around Linear.

  12. Engineering moves before and after the code

    Letting agents write code, and where the engineering goes instead.

  13. Two caveats of AI productivity

    A TODO list that grows instead of shrinking, and a lot of context switching.

  14. An app idea: open banking with Akahu

    Build a personal finance app on your own bank accounts with Akahu, Antigravity and Stitch.

  15. Shipping an agentic kit as Markdown

    Packaging an agent workflow as a plain repo for agents to read, and what that suggests.

  16. Sweetest Batch goes e-commerce

    A “20-minute adventure” adding Stripe to an Astro bakery site that took a couple of months.

  17. Refreshing madeby.dev

    A nostalgic update to my portfolio while a pixel-art version waits.

  18. Cozy Astro

    Trying Astro’s islands architecture as a quick AI-assisted prototype.

  19. AWS Solutions Architect – Associate

    Back on track with AWS certifications, though AI may change the plan.

  20. AWS Certified Developer – Associate

    Passed first time with 959 out of 1000 after two months of preparation.
