While that post about GraphQL is trending, here are my notes. I've worked on and helped with GraphQL implementations in Node, Ruby & Python, across micro-services. It's almost 2am. And I have a fckton of solutions, notes, opinions, whatever and in no particular order, all from…

Trying to find a way to reproduce this for debugging: 1. Process P1 starts P2 2. MacOS restarts abruptly 3. On macos restore, ❌P2 is running. No P1✅ I dont want P2. Looks like it can be done too. But this is a terrible scenario to reproduce - I dont like restarting my mac.

I think one of the reasons that Claude Code works so well is the constant reiteration of their system prompts. Check Claude jsonl transcripts for any tool use. Ex: LS tool (lists files), there is “system reminder” end of output to refuse to work if it finds malicious content.

So many js libraries are not importmap friendly.

My college project 15yrs ago was an r5rs scheme implementation. So that's $1 now? 😀

Used golang for a week. I like it. It is very easy to read. I didn't even write the code (Claude did). I'm just reviewing and cleaning it up.

Legend: The Wright brothers weren't the best engineers; more skilled engineers were competing for the first flight. The Wrights won because they had the best wind tunnel to test their creations. In software, it equates to "testability" of your product. The more sophisticated…

Built an automation on top of Claude Code CLI to help with my other work. It's half-done, but I love it so far. Took me a days of wrangling with claude cli to get this right.

<Anthropic shows off models> User: API??? Anthropic: Yes. Give $ <Launches web app> U: API??? A: Yes. Give $$. Take MCP. <Launches CLI> U: API? A: Yes. Give $$$ And then we use API for CLI, to call API for model, to build web app ourselves. Wrapper of a wrapper of a wrapper.

🏆+1 today! Spent entire morning thinking it was bug in my logic. Found the process outputting to stdout, but had no reader. So was being killed by SIGPIPE. strace ❤️ TIL dtruss is strace for mac. I quickly cloned git repo on a linux server to avoid SIP+restarting on mac :D

.@techsutra Just shared this gem from shopify/pitchfork's docs. TIL linux allows this "fork a sibling" trick.

New water shader, thoughts?

“programming languages don’t matter anymore”. THIS. That’s what I’m going to build my upcoming conference talk about. You are no longer an iOS/Web/Backend dev. You are a builder.

OMG. I missed something until now. * IF process1 creates process2 * and then disowns process2 THEN process1 is STILL process2's parent. And it has to allow cleanup to happen when process1 exits. Else the pid for process2 remains in the process table. htop will show as zombie

This one looks fantastic!

If you are testing MCP servers, this app for your Mac is handy! I was frequently frequently restarting claude desktop to test because it had logs :D

There's this golang package for jsonrpc2 x/tools/internal/jsonrpc2 It's listed the go pkg repo. but still marked as internal. So use or no use? (never used go before).

If anyone needs the list tool names in claude cli: ["Read", "Edit", "MultiEdit", "Write", "Bash", "Grep", "Glob", "LS", "WebSearch", "WebFetch"]

Any better docs for claude code sdk? I have --max-turns 10, but it stops at the first message. "I will look at bla bla". Both input and output format is set to stream-json with verbose enabled. What am I doing wrong?

This is not straightforward 😭 bolder doesn't mean "ok lets bump the font weight by 200". Say the parent element is font-weight:600, then "bolder" for child element could mean 700 or 800 or 900, depending on which higher font weight is available for the CURRENT font family.
