What Happens When a Worm Drives Claude?
I wired a live C. elegans connectome into the control loop of a Claude coding agent, then watched what the worm did when the code broke.

Pocket shut down in July 2025. I needed somewhere to dump the articles I keep telling myself I'll read later. So I built a Chrome extension that does exactly that and nothing else. Local-only, no accounts, no tracking.

Product market fit isn't a stage, it's a gauntlet
PMF gets sold as a milestone. It's actually a gauntlet that bends founders, breaks teams, and quietly poisons technical decisions. Most of the damage isn't from missing PMF — it's from how you behave while looking for it.

Open-Source Agent That Teaches Claude Code Your Architecture
AI made software cheap to build but not cheap to scale. Evolutionary architecture with domain-aware AI agents is the missing piece.

OpenHealth – Chat with Apple Health Data, Anywhere
I built OpenHealth because Claude's and ChatGPT's Apple Health connectors are US-only. Drop your export.zip, get seven markdown files any LLM can read — browser, CLI, or phone-to-desktop over WebRTC.

Why LLMs waste half their brain
AI coding agents burn too many tool calls just figuring out where things are. I built codemap to fix that — cheap model indexes, cheap model selects, big model codes.
