iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

David K. 🎹 @davidkpiano.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

The "you're falling behind on AI" crowd is weird. The whole point of this tech is that things get 10x easier, not harder. Complicated agent/prompting patterns get replaced by better models, simpler patterns, and plug-and-play tools. Catching up takes a day, not months.

🧩 Code Puzzle, a little side project I made. Each level gives you a JS snippet split into pieces. Arrange them in the right order with drag and drop to solve the puzzle. ➡️ code-puzzle.sandroroth.com Built with #React and #XState

A dash of modern CSS accomplishes so many things that used to require abstractions, dependencies, and tricks (wink, wink). This one from Christian Sabourin is a great example: custom properties, clamp()-ing, calc()-ing, counters, relational pseudo selectors, etc. css-tricks.com/css-elevator...

⚛️ XState Store now has atoms, and they're *really* simple. → atom.get() → atom.set(…) → Derived atoms (reactive) → Async atoms → Stores are atoms too! npm i @xstate/store stately.ai/docs/xstate-...

// Regular atoms
const countAtom = createAtom(1);
countAtom.get(); // 1
const flavorAtom = createAtom('chocolate');

// Derived atom that combines both
const donutMessageAtom = createAtom(() => {
const count = countAtom.get();
const flavor = flavorAtom.get();
return `${count} ${flavor} donut${count === 1 ? '' : 's'}`;
});

console.log(donutMessageAtom.get()); // "1 chocolate donut"

countAtom.set(3);
console.log(donutMessageAtom.get()); // "3 chocolate donuts"

flavorAtom.set('strawberry');
console.log(donutMessageAtom.get()); // "3 strawberry donuts"

I like state machines. I still struggle a bit to get my mind bent into state machine shape, but I’m always so happy with the quality of what I build when I do

How would you simplify XState? Planning for the next major version, and would love to hear your thoughts and ideas ✍️

I don't like default exports. They exist in JS because they're "simpler", even though they're more verbose: export default Thing import Thing from './thing' vs. export { Thing } import { Thing } from './thing' Just use consistent naming & don't be afraid of typing curly braces.

Updated demo of Decode generating state-machines from diagrams, this time with streaming generation support Then I do the reverse, generating a diagram from an implementation. The diagram auto-layout is still rough. I'll work work on more robust auto-layout soon.
