I didn't read everything, but I had a DM offering a gig a few weeks ago, and asked me to check out a React site/app. I cloned it and it looked dubious; replied I pass.

An inhouse orchestration tool to run coding agents. It's so useful. I used to use tmux to run my coding agents and have little scripts to help me manage the workflow so this tool lets me encode my workflows and preferences. eg. I prefer to run sessions for the same project serially, working on main, rather than in parallel like how Conductor does with the help of worktrees.

I applied recently but seems the automated system filtered me out automatically based on location (Singapore. I'd be happy to working overlapping timezones)

I was pleasantly surprised when I read the headline a few days ago. But it's only accessible through Stripe right? I'm simultanenously very concerned about the centralized control that Stripe gains (it's not going to be just access to Cloudflare) and also amazed at how Stripe is shaping to be. It was just a payment processor.

Still Smalltalk, but Dolphin Smalltalk which runs on Windows.

It was the best Windows app development too. You can write native Windows programs and it worked even better than Visual Studio for COM and ActiveX stuff.

30 years experience in software development, ranging from enterprise software, startups to indie software. Open for fractional roles too.

I use Cloudflare Tunnel so most of the products I build are exposed and listed there. I just add comments for those that aren't exposed (eg. browser extension dev port) to that file too. A single doc means coding agents know to look there and keep it updated too.

Neovim 0.12.0 4 months ago

like , being able to pop a document open in your editor from the desktop?

There's a hackish way to do it by watching for Neovim command line commands that start with "/Users/" (change it if you are on other OS).

Your coding agent can probably hack something up based on:

`//Hackish supports drag and drop files into Neovim by examining when command line starts with "/Users/".`

I use Droid specifically because Claude Code breaks too often for me. And then Droid broke too (but rarely), and I just stuck to not upgrading (like I don't upgrade WebStorm. Dev tools are so fragile)

I work on a few products as an indie bootstrapper.

* https://theblue.social — TheBlue.social, provides Bluesky native tools

* https://stacknaut.com — Stacknaut, SaaS starter kit to build on a solid foundation with AI, includes provisioning on Hetzner, deployment with Kamal 2 and dev with coding agents

* https://codevetta.com — Codevetta, Architecture and code reviews service

* https://myog.social — MyOG.social, OG Image Generation Service

I've been planning a new idea with that and possibly future ideas based on the future (and near future) where there are more and more "agent" users.

Looking for part-time work as I build my own products.

30 years experience in software development.

In your experience, did you (or anyone) in the team/company felt that some non-tech people were not pulling their weight, example project managers/directors who didn't seem to bring enough value and if you did, found that using OpenClaw reduces the need for those positions?

Or has anyone else?

Are there pens that work like Lamy Al-Star EMR pen, with a button to switch tools, etc, on the RMPP? I have been using my RM2 for years. Backlight would be nice, but not sure it's worth the trade off for me.
