Codex Desktop hammers trustd/syspolicyd so hard other apps won’t launch. Temp binaries under ~/.codex/tmp/ trigger fresh Gatekeeper cycles. Syspolicyd is serial, everything waits. Turned off SIP to work around it, which doesn’t feel great.

Awesome! We did a bunch of cleaning up of our garden too this past weekend. 🌻
Working on the patio today! Sun is out, cold brew is delicious, and getting a lot of work done. Working outside is such a mood enhancer.
My main takeaway from Project Glasswing Claude Mythos Preview: this is a bad time to keep putting off updates.
If you manage endpoints, browsers, phones, or firmware, go clean it up now. “Later” is how routine neglect becomes a headline.
I used to think the value of AI at work would be writing code. Turns out it’s everything else too. Triaging failures, finding dead code, chasing down build warnings, making standup notes useful. The code part is great. But the stuff engineers never get to because there’s always somethin... Read more
I’ve started using Codex and Claude Code for different things. Codex for large, complex tasks. Claude Code for narrower, UI-focused work.
I hit quota limits on both pretty regularly. 😅 Probably means I’m getting something out of them.
Every production incident starts the same way: no idea which system has the answer. So you open all of them. 😅
We gave our AI read-only access to our logs, databases, error tracker, task tracker, support tool, and codebase. It holds the context I used to have to build myself.
Discovered xxHash, a blazingly fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm. Perfect for uniqueness checks on long strings when you need speed over security.

Spot on. Engineers aren’t being replaced by AI. We’re evolving. Less typing, more guiding. The real value is domain knowledge, context, and judgment that AI needs from us.

I had trouble setting up an ARM-based Windows laptop to connect to a printer over the holidays because drivers were x86/x64 only. Had to set up a Raspberry Pi as a print server to fix it. It’s 2026, why are printers still such a pain?

Mole is a tool I have always wanted. A simple, open source utility for macOS that can clean up storage by clearing caches, finding orphaned application data, optimizing databases, and showing you exactly what’s eating your disk space. It is like giving your system an oil change!

Gave my site a facelift + modernized the stack (custom Tailwind theme, modern icons, faster JS). Also set up POSSE: publish once here, then syndicate out to the social platforms.
Good morning Ann Arbor / MI blueskies folk!
Some friends and I (such as @twbrandt.tombrandt.net on here) have launched a campaign to acquire and then forgive medical debt in Michigan. It's a really efficient, high-impact program.
