• Two Kinds of Memory for Your CLI Agent

  So you set up a memory layer for your local CLI agent. Now what? How do you actually get that memory in front of the agent so it does something useful? I’m going to walk through what I did with mem0, but the shape of this applies to pretty …

• Karpathy's LLM Wiki: Your Second Brain, Maintained by the Machine

  A few months ago Andrej Karpathy dropped a GitHub gist that coined a term I haven’t stopped thinking about: the LLM Wiki. The pitch is simple enough to fit on a napkin. Obsidian is the IDE, the LLM is the programmer, and the wiki is the …

• CODE: The Four Stages of a Note

  Yesterday I walked through the history of the second brain, the 500-year arc from glued paper slips to LLM-readable vaults. Today I want to zoom in on one piece of it: CODE, Tiago Forte’s four-stage life cycle of a note. If PARA is where …

• A Brief History of the Second Brain

  The phrase “second brain” is glued to Tiago Forte and the productivity wave of the 2010s. But the ambition behind it is nearly five centuries old, and the method is a lot older than the name. So let’s walk the timeline, because the story is …

• Six Months with Git-Native Issue Tracking: Am I Still Using Beads?

  We’ve all had the magic moment by now. You fire up an agent in Claude Code, hand it a bunch of tasks, then let it do its thing. It feels like the future. Right up until you have to hit git commit. That’s when the magic curdles into a very …

• How I Researched the Time Series With My Second Brain

  Writing ~30 daily, deeply technical posts about the history, physics, and software guts of “time” was not something I could sit down and free-type into a CMS every morning. To keep the whole thing cohesive, connecting the 1967 cesium-second …

• The Agentic Dev Space Is Moving Fast, and I'm Having a Blast

  Step back and look at the last six months of software development. It’s almost hard to believe how much has shifted. Back in January we were doing “vibe coding” with basic autocomplete. By June we’re handing fully autonomous agents a …

• SvelteKit vs Astro: How I Choose in 2026

  If you’ve followed my blog over the past few months, you know I’ve spent a lot of time digging into Svelte 5. Runes completely changed the way I think about reactivity, and SvelteKit is still one of the most elegant frameworks I’ve used for …

• Why Supacode Became My Daily Driver for Claude Code

  The number of ways to get an AI to write your code right now is … great? Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, and all the others. I think that’s a good thing. The easier we make it to hand real work to a capable coding agent, the better off we all …
