It also handles batch processing (overwrites in-place, preserves mtime), enhanced OCR for degraded images (Zoom calls, transparent terminals) with `-e` flag, and Levenshtein fuzzy matching to catch OCR misreads with the `-d N` flag.

It includes: screenshot and file-glob modes, exact/fuzzy whole-word matching, redact/blur/outline annotation, multi-monitor, multi-term search, list mode, and output control.

Free, open source, written in Swift. Single file, no deps beyond macOS itself.

* we had to resolve a variety of bottlenecks that appeared faster than expected from moving webhooks to a different backend (out of MySQL)

* * redesigning user session cache to redoing authentication and authorization flows to substantially reduce database load.

* we accelerated parts of migrating performance or scale sensitive code out of Ruby monolith into Go.

I'd like to know what database backend they migrated to. I was also surprised to read that the migration from Ruby to a more performant language had not already been completed. I assume this is because it a large code base with many moving parts, etc.

Swiss army knife CLI tool written in Swift using only native Apple frameworks.

The primary goal of this project is to demonstrate how many Apple standard library frameworks can be meaningfully used in a single, actually-useful CLI tool.

    A performance comparison of four common Go string building methods.

I recently updated my go-stats-calculator to include many more stats [2]:

    CLI tool for computing statistics (mean, median, variance, std-dev, skewness, etc.) from files or standard input.

I also created claude-image-renamer [3]:

    AI-powered image renaming script that generates descriptive filenames for screenshots.

[3] https://github.com/jftuga/claude-image-renamer

Why: I needed a quick way to look at statistics without having to resort to something heavy such as Python + its statistics module or Excel.

I'm sure there are a ton of other projects out there that do this, but I couldn't find one that fit my needs exactly, so I threw this together in a few hours.

claude-image-renamer uses Claude Code CLI to analyze screenshots and rename them to something actually usable. It combines OCR text extraction with Claude's vision capabilities, so instead of "Screenshot 2025-12-29 at 10.03.10 PM.png" you get something like "vscode_python_debug_settings.png".

A few things it does:

    Handles those annoying macOS screenshot filenames with weird Unicode characters
    Uses OCR to give Claude more context for better naming
    Keeps filenames clean (lowercase, underscores, max 64 chars)
    Handles naming conflicts automatically

About how long do these typically take to execute? Minute, Tens of Minutes, Hours?

My work if very iterative where the feedback loop is only a few minutes long.
