I'll try and get your feedback addressed today/tomorrow!

- https://www.ironvolume.com/ for generating crossfit, hyrox and athx workouts and warm ups, with a few posts on topics I've found really helpful to train around.

- https://pokerchallenges.com/ for practicing the maths behind different aspects of playing texas hold'em poker, trialling it at the moment so can give anyone a free membership if they want to get to grips with it

- https://typst.app/universe/package/calendaring/ a typst calendar grid generation package

- https://github.com/TAJD/cofferdam a tool to help with implementing code architecture compile time checks, helps give agents relevant context on how well their code fits in with the wider codebase without them having to read it all

https://tajd.github.io/cofferdam/ - is an experimental compile time time checker that can be run for typescript/rust to be able to impose architecture, design principles that can be forgotten by agents. The goal is to be able to make it possible for an agent to be reminded about design conventions where it forgets, so it reduces the amount of context that needs to be used initially to define those sorts of conventions.

A shameless plug for myself and my own investigations into the world of old strategy games - https://tom-dickson.com/blog/trias-game-investigation/ - was where I did an investigation into the game called Trias/ternii lapilli which is like an old version of tic tac toe.

I mean, given how quickly things can change I think the language and sentiment here isn't quite right, it's just how businesses can change and we can't necessarily control that.

I think a lot of these things become simpler as AI abstracts and commodifies the functionality and code required to develop and ship new functionality.

E.g. my blog uses Astro and I write react islands to help illustrate ideas that I I think are interesting - https://tom-dickson.com/blog/startup-viability-calculator/

Big love for cloudflare though - all my apps are hosted with it. Their components and generous free tier have been able to let me ship so many random things.

Most recently I've been having fun extending the functionality on a website I use to host tools that help me structure and plan workouts - https://ironvolume.com/

Sure I can absolutely manage my own k8s, but there is no doubt it's easier for me to spin up postgres and ship faster on my own. At enterprise scale it's definitely a lot easier to do everything in k8s and be able to manage as many aspects as possible. I have experience of both.

It’s similar to tic-tac-toe but slightly different of course.

Found it a great opportunity to learn about new areas of maths. Trying to figure out where to go next with it.
