Silencing peon-ping for Quick Claude Code Tasks

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0000

[🌿 Budding] I use peon-ping to get desktop notifications and sound alerts when Claude Code finishes a task. It's great for longer sessions where I context-switch while waiting — but it gets noisy fast when you're running /loop poll cycles that complete in seconds.

Today I created my first Claude Agent skill

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0000

[🌿 Budding] Earlier this week Anthropic released Agent Skills. I've been reading about them all week, and today I finally built one myself. I've been using a tool called Mochi for spaced repetition, but not as much as I'd like to because it's a bit tedious to create cards, and I've been intending to create some AI tool or process to make it easier. So I created an agent skill for it, and even created my own plugin marketplace to store it. I'm sure I'll create more plugins.

[🌲 Evergreen] Instead of 1% improvements, aim for large leaps in progress (5%, 500%, or even 5000%) fueled by intense passion. This approach allows for faster learning and deeper focus, also known as deep work.

Prioritize deep work over incremental improvement

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 06:22:37 -0000

[🌿 Budding] This resonated with me because I also struggle to make incremental improvements. My natural tendency is to work hard on projects that I'm deeply interested in, and then likely not touch them for a long time (if ever). But the knowledge that I gain from working deeply like this tends to be very useful in other projects, conversations, etc.

Scaling Postgres Databases with Liquibase on Kubernetes

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 19:43:37 -0000

[🌲 Evergreen] I recently dived into scaling stateful applications in Kubernetes, focusing particularly on Postgres databases. My current project also integrates Liquibase for database migrations, which led me to explore its impact on scaling. Here are the consolidated notes from my research.

Blog Move from Replit to Fly.io

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -0000

[🌿 Budding] Yesterday, I moved my blog from Replit to fly.io. Replit was nice because it allowed me to quickly and easily get my blog out into the world. I had been wanting to create my own blog from scratch for a while, and I have been enjoying tweaking it however I like. Unfortunately, Replit doesn't have an API or any facility to create CI/CD pipelines. I listen to the Changelog podcast regularly, and they are always advertising that they use fly.io, so I looked into it and found that it was super easy to get going. This will be my notes on the process.

Zed idea

Sat, 02 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -0000

[🌿 Budding] I just realized that I can take all of the conversations that I have with Claude in Zed and use them for learning purposes. All of the conversations are stored in files in a directory on my computer. I could literally take them and ask Claude to do things such as distill the concepts into bullet points, or create Q/A flashcards, or extract commands.

OpenAPI to Click App

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 00:00:00 -0000

[🌿 Budding] About 3 weeks ago, I had an idea to create an app that would take an OpenAPI spec and generate a Click app. I've been working on it in my free time and I've got a basic version working. Its the sort of project I never would have attempted in the past, but I had the help of Claude so it was pretty easy.
