A few months ago I was reviewing my SaaS metrics and everything looked normal on the surface Retention was stable churn was not alarming usage charts looked fine But revenue was still not growing the way it should have been That contradiction stayed in my head So I started looking deeper What I realized was uncomfortable Users were not really leaving in a clear moment There was no sudden drop no o
A deep, opinionated, practical guide for the engineer who has crossed the mid-level threshold — or is about to. The mental models, technical habits, ownership patterns, communication skills, and career mechanics that separate "solid senior" from "engineer the whole team builds around." Grounded in 2026 reality — AI-augmented coding, distributed async teams, post-ZIRP efficiency pressure, and a mar
One thread. Multiple AIs. Deliberation, not polling. Most people use AI like this: 🤦 Ask one model → get one answer Ask multiple models → compare results That’s not thinking. That’s polling.

Almost every existing tool for finding open source issues - goodfirstissue.dev, up-for-grabs.net, codetriage - rely
Yesterday I posted this on X: https://x.com/22Gstudios/status/2051377769414791582 LetItDo is a voice agent for Android that actually finishes tasks. Solo, two and a half days, on top of an existing Auto.js fork called AutoX and Charm's Crush as the agent runtime. The architecture ended up being closer to what production agents like Perplexity Comet use than I expected, and the bugs that bit me wer
Updated May 2026: Now covers virtual desktop (Spaces) restoration and iCloud sync across multiple Macs, both shipped in ShiftPlus 1.3. TL;DR A complete macOS workspace includes apps, window layouts, browser profiles, virtual desktops, and terminal state. Native macOS saves almost none of it. Most third-party tools cover one slice: Stay and Spencer handle window layouts, Shift handles browser profi
