We are the Grey Beards

In November 2025 everyones beard lost its color, we aged into the next generation without realizing it. If you were getting paid to write code at this point in time, you are part of a special point in history where we used to write code by hand. There will be systems air gapped systems somewhere devs will continue to do it how we’ve always done it, some day they will peek out of this cave and realize that they are the only ones left, no one else remembers what its like. Writing code will quickly become a hobby that people do, in a weird niche way. Not because you want to build something, but like the guy with a mainframe in his garage that likes to watch the lights blink. Because its nostalgic, it’s a very cool skill, its fun and rewarding, but it won’t be to get something done.

I Built A Tmux Session Switcher

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now. For years now, fuzzy pickers and last session have been my go to. They have served me well. I can typically only keep so much in my head anyways. I’m often doing a hub and spoke pattern between main project, notes, and infra repo, maybe two projects. Don’t get me wrong, I regularly run with a dozen or more sessions running at a time, but only two to three are in my immediate context at any point anyways. The Design harpoon for tmux press a hotkey followed by one more keystroke, currently any left hand letter SIMPLE, FAST, thats of utmost importance, what I want are sessions that I can can be assigned in order of importance from middle row, top row, bottom row. I added this binding to my tmux config. Now I can press to go to the first session, to go to the second session. and pause to think j/k to navigate, space to pick up a session and move it, x to kill it. Enter the agents Now with agents doing more and more work, and cooking for longer…

Clankers got me tired

I spent all day grinding on a 20 minute fix. I want the agents to do it. They can do it, but they are missing the harnesses they need to replicate my workflows of old.

This is the results of a one shot markata-go searchcraft integration

In the age of agents sometimes work gets done on so many different worktrees and branches its hard to tell if there is already a PR or any of them or not, the great gh cli has us covered.

I like version-fox’s project vfox. A cross-platform and extendable version manager with support for Java, Node.js, Golang, Python, Flutter,.NET & more
Waiting For My Weekly Token Allowance
Openai gives me a token allowance for my $20 tier subscription, if I'm careful it lasts a few days of heavy side project work.

Just starred taskdog by Kohei-Wada. It’s an exciting project with a lot to offer. Terminal task manager with intelligent schedule optimization.Keyboard-only. No dragging, no micromanagement.

Much better than the get rid of people cause AI can do the work. Honestly I feel this though. I was just talking with some colleages how do we divvy w…

The Ghostty Guy

I was today years old when I realized that the ghostty guy is the Hashicorp guy.

Just starred linux by torvalds. It’s an exciting project with a lot to offer. Linux kernel source tree
FFmpeg video crop tools.simonwillison.net This was the inspiration for the next update in dropper that became a full clip editor. The one that I’ve long wanted, but forgotten about. It’s going to include this cropper, resize, image extractor, and trimmer.
Tiny Tool Town 🏘️ A delightful showcase for free, fun & open source tiny tools. Stupid-delightful software made with love. Tiny Tool Town · tinytooltown.com Learned about this one from the @stipete interview @scotthanselman did on YouTube. This is proof that the internet is alive. It’s such web 1.0 nostalgia to see that people can just build things! Did you know that you can literally just build things and make them exist? You don’t need users, You don’t need a big platform, you can just make something into existance. It seems like something we have forgotten through web 2.0 where everything as become 4 major apps all linking to each other and trying to hoard all of the attention. Scroll through tehre are some really cool apps, probably nothing that has the polish you want, or is going to change your world. What these apps have more than anything you’ve probably used in the recent years, is inspiration. Its xyz, but the way I wanted, or with my little twist. And no one else has to like it but me because I’m the user.
FancyGist fancygist.com I saw this in @cassido’s newsletter this week and had to give it a run. I despise that there is no dark mode and it insists on burning my retinas 😤. But really this is an absolute beate of a web based markdown editor, I love the command mode to press slash and it just pops out in this whimsical animation ready for me to pick what I want.
Editing a Session Skate Sim clip inside of dropper with trim, scrub, and crop.
In the video clip you can see me reload into the latest version of dropper that supports video thumbnails, turning those unknown clips into a collection I can recognize.
