Journey.
Notes from the journey — mostly detours.
I build tools for coding agents and write down how they work. Real repositories, real code, no throat-clearing.
The feed
- 13 how you could have invented muon from memory The matrix trick hiding in plain sight that made AdamW look less inevitable.
- 12 after the white rabbit: an Unlock! adventure from tabletop to 3D A browser adventure inspired by Unlock!, built with Codex, Blender and Three.js. How we adapted the puzzles and fixed the models that got in their way.
- 11 pr-review-evidence: a desktop nobody can see Agents can describe a change but never show it working. So give one its own screen and record it.
- 10 notify: the agent shouts down the hallway Your machine can already talk; the hard part is stopping the agent from reading file paths aloud.
- 09 tiny-claude-recycler: a subscription is an API key now Anthropic made a Claude subscription programmable. That turns every seat in a company into quota, which is the uncomfortable part.
- 08 paper-videos: a paper in, an explainer out The explainer nobody has the weeks to animate, assembled beat by beat while you watch.
- 07 pr-brief: a reviewer for PRs nobody wants to read It groups a huge PR into features, picks the reading order, and narrates each diff from the side.
- 06 ccli-prompt: cmd+k for your terminal Press Cmd+K, describe the command you've forgotten, and read what comes back before running it.
- 05 trainable: the data was never the bottleneck Every company has the data; almost none have the two specialist weeks that turn it into a model.
- 04 ralph-installer: make a loop anywhere One line of bash runs the loop; the state files around it are the actual work.
- 03 localiza&co: what we actually ship with LLMs A Portuguese-language videocast on how Localiza uses advanced analytics and LLMs day to day.
- 02 consulting cast: I was the guest A guest spot on UFRJ's Consulting Cast, talking about consulting, AI and LLMs.
- 01 llm-food-delivery: the agent loop was a switch statement Ordering dinner by voice in 2023: eleven hand-written function schemas and a loop that lived in the browser.
