Strong image models can already produce polished game UI screenshots. The harder question is whether those screenshots are useful as production evidence. I tested six common game-screen cases two ways: a direct prompt baseline a controlled workflow using a screen brief, layout contract, style contract, IP/lookalike gate, locked prompt, review score, revision prompt, and implementation notes The si
One of the recurring challenges while building IoT systems is testing device communication, telemetry handling, MQTT flows, and event-driven architectures without constantly relying on physical hardware. To solve this problem, I recently started building a lightweight IoT Simulator CLI focused on helping developers simulate virtual devices directly from the terminal. The project is designed for de

I shipped a fix to my MCP server last week for LinkedIn's ProseMirror composer. It worked. Two days later, every LinkedIn post automation broke. This is the post-mortem of what changed, how I figured it out, and why "automate the platform" stories almost always end this way. The symptom was specific. My MCP server's safari_fill tool — which dutifully filled ProseMirror by walking React Fiber and c
Why I Built This: Reclaiming Action in a World of Passive Productivity In a landscape dominated by planning tools, trackers, and “productivity systems,” we spent the last 24 hours building something fundamentally different.
