Any guesses what this app does?

Having too much fun with AI. Now I am building hardware peripherals that enhance using the software.

The more I keep pulling the AI thread, the more I am building a web of micro-monoliths—services that are full products unto themselves, yet hook into each other, compounding into a flywheel.

Proactive people are the best. These branches were drooping a little lower than may be comfortable for some, so they used what was available to make it a bit nicer, for everyone.

Picture of branches arching over a trail that someone has slightly raised with some found supports.

How do you Claude Code? I feel like I am definitely in the minority, but there’s something about a consistent workflow, free from dependencies and access concerns. Thanks to @justinjackson.ca, @briancasel.com, and @jordangal.bsky.social (missed yah!) for having me on the @thepanel.bsky.social!

This was fun. 🤞 I can hop on again for a future episode. I’ll have an ethernet cable by then, to help with the delay issues 😬

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 26/03/2026

Anyone else drowning in markdown files and there’s just not enough time in the day to read them all? Same. I am working on a fix for that. If anyone is interested in trying it out, let me know. Hoping to get to this to a shareable state within the next week or so. No more blind approvals.

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 26/03/2026

Our dreams have scaled exponentially with our new found capabilities.

Anyone else ever get into a loop where no matter how many sessions you start, Claude Code just can’t complete a task it claims it is gong to do? I have been trying to get it to write and save a plan all day, across 3 sessions, and every time it gets to claiming to write it… Request timed out

Planning to launch something in the next month or so? If so, I have a launch planning/monitoring/task app that I am looking to get some early people/launches on. You’ll also be included as part of the launch group when it goes live. If interested, DM me and let’s launch some shit! #buildinpublic

The tension articulated here on @mattstauffer.com’s new show perfectly captures my internal conflict with AI. On one hand, the possibilities it creates feels infinite and magical. On the other, what are we losing, and who is being most negatively impacted by my/our embrace of it?

Everybody is saying "SaaS is dead" and I am over here thinking now is the best time to bring all the SaaS ideas I have backlogged in my notes and journals to life.

@bogdankharchenko.com @jasonlbeggs.com when’s the next @upstatephp.bsky.social !? Sorry I couldn’t make the last one, we ended up going to the beach.

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 20/02/2026

I’m hoping with all the efficiencies that AI brings it will create more space for people to bring back the love to sites like they used to get back in the early 2000’s when frameworks didn’t exist, Photoshop finally got layers, and deploying was just an FTP sync command away.

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 19/02/2026

Intentional. My word for 2026, along with Interest, which I have been focused on for the past 2 years. Something about the way this year has started already has me excited about these two words, and trying to live up to them.

⌨️ Any iPad keyboard/mouse linkers out there? Since upgrading to 26.3, modifier keys are no longer being sent to the iPad. A Magic Keyboard directly connected to the iPad works fine, but remote keyboards are not sending Shift and other modifiers. Anyone else seeing this?

This is what I am talking about re:queue control. To be able to quickly pause/resume queue processors when errors pop up, or services go down, or things are running slow, is super handy, especially when on-the-go. Would love to know how other #laravel #bullmq #nestjs devs are handling things!

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 10/02/2026

For the #laravel crew on here, do you typically just use standard Laravel queues backed by the DB, or Horizon (Redis backed)?

@justinjackson.ca It look me sec to find it, but I am glad you finally came around to what I was saying during our Jam Session about having @transistor.fm (or AmpCast) handle the video upload and distribute it to the various platforms (ex. Spotify, YouTube, etc.) www.youtube.com/live/2_nuzJa...

It looks like I am going to have to write the R2 overflow adapter for BullMQ sooner than I had planned, I just can’t justify scaling the Redis instance any higher than it already is.

Not sure if the jetstream was just backed up, but it seems like the linking activity here really spiked since the 29th. What’d I miss!? Queuebert is buggin’, a bit. #indieweb #webmentions #buildinpublic

Screenshot of mobile app, Queuebert, showing queue activity with 799.2 thousand mentions queued up to be captured.

When Claude starts blanking out and not responding, I like treating it like running into a friend who has had one too many drinks for the night and needs some help. You ok? Need some water? Should we go grab a slice? By the time I get to slice, it seems to get back on track. 🍕

Man, Bluesky is linking it up tonight! I might have to turn up the concurrency on the queues. (sneak peeks at two new projects in the works 🤫) #buildinpublic #indieweb #webdev #webmentions

Screenshot of mobile app showing 62.07K jobs queued, 15 active, and 14 errors, along with memory usage of Redis instance, and action slide to pause/resume queue workers. The jobs are Bluesky links posted, being stored and ready to send webmentions.
