Highly recommend this insightful post from @eliperkins.com reflecting on a year of using Kagi:

Whether or not the Xcode agent is any good (I'm dubious), the fact Xcode itself is exposing first-party MCP tools is great newsβ€”trying to get Claude/Codex to do fucking anything right in iOS is agonizing. developer.apple.com/…

Tools I Love: xcrun simctl io booted recordVideo Β· Blog Β· Eli Perkins Record high quality videos of the iOS simulator right from the command line.

"Tools I Love: xcrun simctl io booted recordVideo"

A handy lil command line tool to visualize changes in my PRs that I use regularly.

One Year with Kagi Β· Blog Β· Eli Perkins Restore your mental health with a quality search engine sans AI slop.

"One Year With Kagi"

It's been a year of using not-Google as my default search engine, and I don't think there's any turning back for me. Kagi rocks. 🀘

I don't think Gas Town is a project that could (or should) be used by anyone for Real Engineeringβ„’, but I think there's some interesting concepts to tease out over time.

Gas Town’s Agent Patterns, Design Bottlenecks, and Vibecoding at Scale On agent orchestration patterns, why design and critical thinking are the new bottlenecks, and whether we should let go of looking at code

Dang, this blog from @maggieappleton.com is REALLY good, and echos how I feel about Gas Town. Interesting concepts baked into a tool that has ridden the hype waves to tip of every Silicon Valley engineer's tongue.

This was a lot of fun to build, even if I wanted to tear my hair out every time I ran into some weird AVFoundation behavior. The transcript views use timing data along with a neat lil TextRenderer to create more immersive transcripts that let you follow along without needing to unmute.

Gardening Β· Blog Β· Eli Perkins It's not only for your veggies and herbs.

"Gardening"

I've had this term knocking around in my head for some years, in relation to caring for a codebase. Finally put some words together in a blog to capture how I feel about it.

Blog - Eli Perkins A bunch of ramblings from Eli Perkins

Another day, another `mise use` that saved my butt. Fewer tools have entered my workflow as quickly as this one did some years back, and I rarely think about the fact that I'm using it 99% of the time.
