If you've ever managed multiple GitHub accounts on the same machine — a personal account, a work account, maybe a freelance client account — you know the pain. You clone a repo, push some code, and then realize it went up under the wrong username. Or worse, you spend 20 minutes debugging why your SSH key isn't working, only to find out you're using the wrong identity file. I got tired of it. So I
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
In July 2025, a developer's Claude Code instance hit a recursion loop and burned through 1.67 billion tokens in 5 hours, generating an estimated $16,000 to $50,000 in API charges before anyone noticed. The agent did not crash. It did not throw an error. It just kept calling tools, getting confused, calling more tools, and silently accumulating cost. Old software crashes. LLM agents spend. This is
You're in another app and there's a timer counting down at the top of your phone. You lock the screen and the same timer is sitting there. You swipe down to the Notification Center and it's there too, still ticking. It looks like a notification, but a notification can't tick. That's a Live Activity. It looks like three different surfaces (Dynamic Island, lock-screen banner, Notification Center ent
OpenAI just signed a $300 billion deal with Oracle for AI infrastructure. My first thought: What do you spend $300 billion on? Seriously. Three hundred billion dollars. That's more than the GDP of Finland. It's 30 times OpenAI's annual revenue. It's enough to buy every single person in America a new iPhone. So I did what any reasonable person would do. I grabbed a spreadsheet and started doing the
I finished an English series on the way I think ordinary people can start using AI for real work. The point is not to become an AI expert first. The point is to have one place where you can say what you want, give the tool access to the right folder, and check the result. Anything important still needs a human pause: publishing, deleting, paying, or authorizing. My preferred starting point is simp
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become the default standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and APIs. Governed by the Linux Foundation since early 2025 and adopted by OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, and Vercel, MCP is the USB-C port of the AI ecosystem — one protocol that lets any LLM application talk to any tool server. But there's a gap between reading the spec and building somethi
