Thread: Dev habits for a team of one ↗GitHub, Trello and a database are the three MCP servers my notes kept coming back to. All three had drifted since I wrote them down. Here's what's current, and how I'd lock each one down.
Thread: Building with Claude and MCP ↗What I set up before writing a line of theme or plugin code: a local copy, the debug switches, WP-CLI's scaffolding and a profiler. Condensed from a very long page of old notes.
Thread: The WordPress toolbox ↗A custom slash command is a saved prompt you run with a slash. How they work in Claude Code now that they've been folded into skills, and which of the ones in my notes actually have a job.
Thread: Building with Claude and MCP ↗My notes on safe updates were written for a big team with canary releases and approval chains. Here's the same idea cut down for one person with a project that still has to work tomorrow.
Thread: Dev habits for a team of one ↗My old CLAUDE.md template tried to hold everything. The one that runs this blog is about twenty lines. Here's where the file lives, what earns a line in it, and what doesn't.
Thread: Building with Claude and MCP ↗How to add an MCP server to Claude Code or Claude Desktop, where the config actually lives, and the short checklist I run when a server won't show up.
Thread: Building with Claude and MCP ↗The folder layout, the one config file, and the handful of checks I want in a Python project before the first real line of code. Plus where my notes had fallen behind the tools.
Thread: Dev habits for a team of one ↗Terminal News is my work-in-progress Go project for reading community-ranked news, local classifieds and NOAA weather in a text-only terminal app, for people who'd rather not open a browser to catch up.
Thread: App experiments ↗Genesis ROM Workshop is my open-source Python toolkit for poking around inside Sega Genesis ROMs, extracting palettes, text and tile graphics for ROM hacking, translation and preservation work.
Thread: The retro workbench ↗Terminal UI Components is my open-source, pure CSS framework for building terminal-style web interfaces, with ten color themes and box-drawing decorations.
Thread: The design notebook ↗The plan, not yet shipped, for a free MCP security CLI scanner: why I'd give a tool away, and the questions it's meant to help people running MCP servers answer.
Thread: Building G8KEPR ↗What ClientOtherError really counts in Azure Files metrics, how to find which calls cause it, and what to look for in the client library code making them.
Thread: Troubleshooting notes ↗
