Turning Claude Code into my best design partner

Published on August 18, 2025 When I first started using Claude Code, I had a naive approach to working with it. I would describe the task directly in the prompt, press Enter, and cross my fingers. If the agent made mistakes, I would tell it how to fix them. For small tasks, this can be good enough, but as the task grows in complexity, this approach reveals several significant drawbacks. When Simple Doesnโ€™t Scale The first problem is that the conversation becomes the only source of truth about

GPT-5 vs. Sonnet: Complex Agentic Coding

OpenAI released GPT-5 yesterday, promoting it as their best model yet for agentic coding. When it arrived in my GitHub Copilot this morning, I immediately decided to test it with a complex, long-running agentic coding task โ€” and later gave the exact same task to Claude 4 Sonnet 4 for comparison. While this isn't a tightly controlled scientific comparison โ€” more of a "vibe check" โ€” both models impressed me with their results. It's worth noting that while Claude Sonnet has been established for co

Mezzano, an operating system written in Common Lisp

Mezzano, an operating system written in Common Lisp. Pre-built images Demo releases are available through GitHub. These releases are designed to be run in VirtualBox, though QEMU is also supported. 2GB of RAM, a virtio-net NIC and an Intel HDA audio controller are recommended. x86-64 images are published. AArch64 has been made to work on some hardware. But to set expectations: making Mezzano run on any given piece of hardware or emulator is still typically a project that requires the user to

Hyrum's Law

Hyrum's Law Put succinctly, the observation is this: With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract: all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody. Over the past couple years of doing low-level infrastructure migrations in one of the most complex software systems on the planet, Iโ€™ve made some observations about the differences between an interface and its implementations. We typically think of the interface as an a

Slightly better named character reference tokenization than Chrome, Safari, FF

Slightly better named character reference tokenization than Chrome, Safari, and Firefox 2025-06-26 Note: I am not a 'browser engine' person, nor a 'data structures' person. I'm certain that an even better implementation than what I came up with is very possible. A while back, for no real reason, I tried writing an implementation of a data structure tailored to the specific use case of the Named character reference state of HTML tokenization (here's the link to that experiment). Recently, I to
