Move a speaker and headphone receiver through unusual rooms, then hear the reflections, echoes, and binaural result directly in your browser.

If you meet someone and they have a slightly annoying way of talking, you barely notice. Talk to them every hour, every day, for a month... that tiny tic starts to feel like a cut. When you use AI models that often, their tics become super grating too. Ea

In the past year my team shipped software written almost entirely by AI agents. We shipped plenty of bad features, and some code I'm not proud of, but so far nothing the agents wrote has taken production down. Some of that is luck. Most of it is that we n

Until recently, an AI agent would do a few things, then stop and ask me questions, or ask me for the next steps. Somewhere in the last six months that changed: now it just runs, until it genuinely cannot go any further. There was no lightning-bolt moment

The bug report was a masterpiece of vagueness: "notifications aren't loading." Brilliant. Cheers for that. So I did what anyone would and started rounding up the usual suspects - a race condition in the Vue component, a busted websocket upgrade, maybe a K

I was staring at a memory spike in our Temporal worker pod. We were running this document processing pipeline. It did AI-assisted cleanup, statement rewrites and more - and everything was melting down. Every time we touched a single clause in a document,

When I work on a tricky problem I often go down random directions. I explore, learn what I can, and bring the learnings back. And I remember not to go down there again. This exploration in my mind is similar to Age of Empires fog of war or slime mold expl
