Notes on AI, building software, and the things I've learned along the way.

A collection of notes on AI, software systems, product thinking, and lessons picked up along the way.

Apr 21, 2026	running 4× Claude Code Max still isn't enough — here's what actually helps A power user's read on caveman, context compression, and every "save tokens" plugin your feed is pushing. Most of them optimize the cheapest slice of the bill.
Apr 21, 2026	reverse-engineering Warp's cli-agent notification protocol Warp's agent sidebar runs on one OSC 777 escape sequence and a six-field JSON envelope. here's the full protocol, reverse-engineered from the three official adapter repos.
Apr 16, 2026	using remote SSH with Codex app Codex app now has alpha SSH remote support, but during rollout you may still need the hidden feature flag, the beta appcast build, or a shell-init fix.

Apr 14, 2026	I turned Pokémon Red into a shared multiplayer arcade — here's how Starting from a Game Boy ROM, through rgbds assembly, Emscripten, WebAssembly, and a Redis-backed turn system, I built a live arcade where everyone who visits plays the same game.
