Software

I spend a lot of time on software, below are some of my current priorities 🤓

A modern app

Even a single app is crazy complex, but we can manage it if we have names for its parts. Here's my mental map for each of my projects. This map was heavily inspired by a secret presentation from Safia Abdalla :) For best results, use a wide screen (1280px+).

Editor/IDE

Operating systems
Shells + terminals
Coding agents
Extensions
Team vs personal configs

Frontends

Endless frameworks
Web, mobile, desktop
UX design

Backends

More endless frameworks
Storage
Auth
Async compute

Env

Secrets
Non-source-controllable assets

Observability

Telemetry
Alerting

Deployment

Test environments
Infrastructure as code
Automated CI/CD
Automated recovery

Documentation

Code comments
Markdown files
Wiki site
On-call runbooks

Maintenance

Project management
Test coverage validation
Perennial innovations

Communication

Early feedback
Announcements and blogs
External contributor collaboration
User support

Agents + AI

Integrations
Security
Hallucinations
Costs (financial, reputational, ecological)

Luanti

Luanti is an open-source "boxel" game creation system including a game engine, distribution site, and application for players. I'm currently working on rewriting Luanti's documentation into a domain-specific language so that we can better maintain improvements and translate the docs from Lua to TypeScript and beyond.

Mocha

Mocha is the classic, reliable, trusted test framework for Node.js and the browser that was created in 2011. I've been a maintainer since August 2025, so I'm certainly no expert yet, but I've used Mocha significantly for testing AHK++, a VS Code extension that provides language support for a niche programming language.

GitHub

GitHub has tons of features that I'm learning more about.
