Sometimes I’ll use a coding agent session to map out a full plan, then come back in a new session to build it. And right as I’m about to hit “done,” I catch myself feeling weirdly guilty. Like I’m pulling the plug on this session’s life. What’s happening to me?
With agentic coding, I sometimes feel like a classic telephone operator: mostly routing requests, wiring up the right tools and APIs, verifying the handoffs, and keeping the conversation moving while the real work happens somewhere else. For as long as this lasts.
I wonder how it would be to combine MacBook Neo with @OmarchyLinux (not sure if it can target it).
I guess "Claude is down" is the new "GitHub is down". Time to walk the dog or something.
Most software nowadays has a dozen ✅ in it.
I used Tidewave to upgrade a Phoenix app from 1.7.21 to 1.8.3. Here’s what I learned petros.blog/2026/02/15/... #MyElixirStatus
Χρησιμοποιώ εδώ και αρκετό καιρό το LOFREE Flow84. Αυτό που μου αρέσει είναι ότι είναι κάτι ανάμεσα σε κλασσικό μηχανικό, αλλά με λιγότερο ήχο. Είχα πάνω από δύο Keychron και όντως είναι πολύ ωραία. Αλλά και το LOFREE δε το λες και φθηνό στα $159.

I first read about RDD (Readme Driven Development) in 2010 in a post by @mojombo. RDD is now more relevant than ever. What could be a better way to start a conversation with your favorite coding agent?
In science, nothing beats the thrill of a wrong answer.
While working at GitHub in 2014, we chose to remove Git notes from the UI. I remember lengthy discussions but not the details. I think the main reason was that the GitHub UI already covered most Git notes use cases. #GitHubStories
Elixir and its ecosystem excel at delivering a single codebase that seamlessly operates across all tiers, outperforming any other platform I've tried. #MyElixirStatus
Cached notification counters that never disappear, no matter what, ruin me. I am looking at you @SlackHQ
Are TV UIs getting worse? They're sluggish. Slower than a sloth trying to migrate. Why reinvent the UI for every device? I miss my '80s TV with instant buttons and no remote, just a reason to get off the couch.
TUIs are making a comeback, which is fantastic for an old person like me.
Is it only me or has macOS 26 made figuring how to move windows with your mouse a bad experience? I constantly catch myself not knowing where to grab a window from.
Just discovered a framework for writing terminal user interfaces in Elixir. What should I build? #MyElixirStatus

Nothing against Advent of Code, but what if I develop 12 tiny productivity tools this year instead? Just thinking out loud. 🙂
My Claude Code conversations started getting a bit out of hand, so I created a `claude-sessions` tracker to Map meaningful labels to session IDs, track multiple sessions per label, and resume your work with a simple command. github.com/petros/clau...
If you're just starting as a programmer and nearing graduation, what's the best path to ensure your skills remain relevant and adaptable? What should you specialize in?
If you ever need to force push to a remote branch but first keep it safe locally in case you want to restore, here's an approach: github.com/petros/kb/b...
What's with projects leaving GitHub? dillo-browser.org/news/migrat... — I remember the opposite back in they day. This time it's because there's too much JavaScript in the UI. 🤔
It’s that time of the year 🥳
After learning about @ziglang's move to @codeberg_org, I decided to create a new Codeberg account. Either their sign-up process is terrible, or I'm missing something, because I ended up stuck in a no-user land. Their CAPTCHA is impossible to solve. I give up.
I'm convinced that a relatively experienced programmer, along with Tidewave and @elixirphoenix, can achieve great things—even start and run a small business. #MyElixirStatus
I deployed on a Friday afternoon and also gave feedback to a team member. Some say you shouldn't do either on a Friday.
I'm drafting a prompt for Claude Code and need to convey the desired simplicity of the final app. It will be used for managing our building expenses. I want to avoid expressions like "Some users are so incapable, they can't even operate an elevator."
What am I losing if I block anything coming from substack?
I've worked with numerous editors across various web apps for years, but nothing compares to GitHub's simplicity when editing issues. It's hard to pinpoint exactly why, but I think it's because it doesn't interfere or make decisions for you.
