I have started some meta ads #shipaton #buildinpublic

Day 40 of #shipaton - full CRT experience is nearly done. Possibly ready for the new Apple TV if that ever comes out? I just played myself like an octopus across the room (not a euphemism)

#buildinpublic #gamedev #indiedev

A solo developer used Seedance, FFmpeg, and real screen recordings to give Amana two AI spokespersons without letting the model fake its UI. #shipaton

BackPocket reached store review in eight days. Written invariants and real-device testing caught the dangerous bugs that passing tests missed. #shipaton

I announced my app, got a brutal reality check, and pulled it from review. Here’s how I pivoted Dogear, what I learned, and why slowing down saves months. #shipaton

Why asking an LLM to "find team disagreements" is a fatal design flaw, and how we replaced probabilistic reasoning with deterministic set theory. #shipaton

#shipaton #buildInPublic

My parcel arrived, indirectly from my capricious tormentor. I’ll open it eagerly - and angrily - after a rice food. #shipaton #buildinpublic

Just shipped permission modes for PocketCoder — manual, read, write, and auto presets that let you dial in how much the agent can do without asking. Plus git SSH access UI and a bunch of polish. FOSS, self-host, all that good stuff. #Shipaton #BuildInPublic #selfhosted #FOSS
