We’ve all built "perfect" systems, only for a single overlooked detail to turn into a production nightmare. I’ve spent my career building, breaking, and fixing things. I’m starting this space to share those experiences, because I believe the best way to master a concept is to learn from mistakes. I’ll be focusing on three main series: 1. War Stories 2. Under the Hood 3. General Tech Discussions I’
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
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
I got tired of sitting on a Rolex waitlist with zero information. No position, no ETA, no way to know if my wait was normal or if I was getting strung along. When I went looking for data, all I found was Reddit threads with hundreds of anecdotes buried in noise. So I built unghosted.io, a structured tracker where collectors submit their wait times anonymously. 550+ reports from 62 countries in the
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
I kept watching the same thing happen. What I Built It's a 3D interactive sales simulator. I call it a flight simulator for software — except instead of flying a plane, you're walking a non-technical client through the risk inside their own infrastructure. The Map You feed it a simple JSON file describing your client's tech stack. It reads it and instantly draws a floating, 3D web of nodes — s
