1. Full speed ahead at a client, implementing key features of an event-sourced system that we'd been modeling for some time now. 2. Spending max mental energy at work and then doing the same with the side projects had started taking a toll on me physically. 3. One of my pet projects actually launched into… Continue reading I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus from technical blogging for a while, for a couple of reasons:
Claude as a Learning Tool
Cooked up a little claude slash command called /teachme for a repo I just made public. It's a 9-step guided walkthrough of the codebase. The agent opens the relevant files, points at the lines that matter, quizzes me between steps, and waits for me to actually engage before moving on.The repo is CartShop, a small… Continue reading Claude as a Learning Tool
A little help goes a long way
Every term, there's a set of parents in charge of fundraising activities for the class to save up for a school trip. It can be anything from bake sales to selling stuff like candles, cookies, and many other things. My son is now 14, and they're at the age where they probably think it's not… Continue reading A little help goes a long way
Agents building Swishlist
The workflow is definitely becoming better and better. When I asked claude to do the plan for building out swishlist, this is what it came up with and started I then reminded it that since we're building vertical slices with event sourcing, it doesn't actually need to wait on previous features to be done before… Continue reading Agents building Swishlist
From Wishlist to Swishlist
The first app I ever built with augmented coding was a wishlist app. Back then it was copilot, for finding what the latest react syntax is, and ChatGPT for generating a usable image for the app header. It was born out of the need to keep track of whatever my kids wanted for their birthdays… Continue reading From Wishlist to Swishlist

The evolution of ChoreMonkey
I wanted to give an update on the first real app I built after the event modeling and event sourcing workshop in February (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/another-weekend-event-model-jocelyn-mae-englund-zvgef/) Since then, I've been building and maintaining more and more little apps as part of my learning journey. (You can find most of them here:https://itsybit.se/projects/) I did manage to finish my… Continue reading The evolution of ChoreMonkey
R Du På?
I got a ping from one of our ex-colleagues yesterday asking whether we had gone home for the day. Thursdays are a work from office day, and what usually happens , whether or not the sun is out is that a bunch of us from work decide to go for a few pints. I was… Continue reading R Du På?
The evolution of my development process
I spent some time going through the side projects I've built. Digibank was probably the first ever one, created with my own sweat and blood. I built it when my kids were young and they didn't have a real bank account yet. I wanted a way for them to keep track of how much money… Continue reading The evolution of my development process
Three Months With Harry
I have been doing an experiment the past few months, and I can't believe it's already been three. I had signed up for the Claude Max plan, set up an Open Claw assistant, and tried out what could be done. It was set up as a Telegram account that everyone in my household could message.… Continue reading Three Months With Harry
