Learning by building a programming language, OS, computer, and an autonomous drone swarm to clean up plastic from the forests of India. But first, a cup of tea! #buildinpublic https://microclub.substack.com/about https://github.com/asnar00/zeta
Now that logging is nice and solid, let's get tests working properly. Specify tests in natural language for each feature, roll that out to code, and send a "test feature-name" command to the running app on a USB-connected phone. Easy.

Let's roll out logging to the fairphone!
1) review last session to extract new ios knowledge
2) reorganise the knowledge base to make it easier to digest
3) roll out the changes to the e/os knowledge base
4) get the equivalent log/screencap workflow running on the fairphone.

So the testing thing was fine at home, but now that I'm in Spain, well ... not so much. Turns out all the code was super shaky and so I deleted it all and started again. Let's do logging properly, since it's the foundation of everything. youtu.be/piWUKAyjJ3M?...

OK, so we wrote some tests, but actually running them requires a bit more plumbing. Namely, logging is a hot mess on iOS, and works differently on android, so let's write our own remote logging and testing system that lets me debug from the beach. Easy!

Monday was doing-the-dishes day; but today we're back on the horsey. I have an intuition that "features" are great sites to write and run tests; so let's ... test that intuition! Also, some housekeeping, building stuff in parallel, and musings on AI self-knowledge. youtu.be/BcW2rQTSA9g?...

It's Sunday, and Sunday is beats day (well, every day is beats day) so let's make some beats and let's also make a server and deploy it on my mac mini under the telly, and then let's connect both the iphone and android apps to it.

Whoops. Same happened with my next video but I caught it before upload. Annoying, because it was super cool.

Final bit of experiment 17 - actually getting the ported code running on the Fairphone 6 running e/os (degoogled android). Actually got it running in 10 minutes and then pissed about getting the icon looking right for 15. This is the way.

another addendum: inspiration struck just after I hit "order" on Deliveroo, and by the time the food arrived Claude Code had ported the whole iOS platform knowledge base over to android/eos. Or has it? Tune in tomorrow to find out.

Addendum to the last video: I figured out how to screen-capture from the iPhone, so you can actually see the result. Also, tried a thing where claude reviews the conversation and extracts structured platform knowledge; we then delete all the code and rebuild it from scratch.

miso experiment 17! I'm starting a new project, a semantic-search-backed social media kinda sorta thing codenamed firefly. In this experiment, I take Claude Code Sonnet 4.5 on an hour-long journey to deploy a blank app to my phone.

My substack has been somewhat dormant recently, but stuff's been happening in the background that's worth writing about, so here's a new one.

There's this dynamic though where the crazier the stuff he comes out with, the more attention and outrage it gets, and the more he looms larger in the national psyche, and starts to seem inevitable. His supporters will agree to ignore the crazy stuff because it's "just Nigel being Nigel".
