Where can I make one of these for myself?

Yeah, I’m fresh out. But, nunchuck skills sounds cool.

That was a really great episode. I look forward to hearing (and maybe watching) more! 👏

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 24/07/2026

Still have yet to use a skill.

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 24/07/2026

This app could have been a skill.

Taste. A blessing, and a curse.

Coupled with two agents cranking away on other projects. So..the mind may not be _crystal_ clear.

Doing some hand-coding today. Feels good.

I think the old approach of, just start building something you want and you’ll stumble across something that people actually want/need, still applies.

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 24/06/2026

Yeah, I get that. But, at the same time, maybe easier to copy the general idea, but still hard for AI to nail the details that make a utility or service actually feel _nice_ to use.

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 24/06/2026

Curious, any ideas why fewer people are building in public? If anything, you think it would be the opposite, but I have kind of been getting the same vibe.

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 09/06/2026

Have you, Fiddle-Faddled, today?

@jordangal.bsky.social figure out what games contractors are playing and find them between jobs! “You could be getting clients, on your down time.”

Haha, I had the same reaction.

Any guesses what this app does?

and maybe start working on that transition to vodka (i can almost smell the potato as i type this)

A few additions to the collection: "insurance", "windows"

There’s some AI-auto-suggested joke in there. ‘Would you like to schedule “The Lesson” via the provided Calendly link?’

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

@ianlandsman.com how big of a chip goes into the collection?

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 19/05/2026

I feel like we should jump on a jamsessions.fm and jam on this topic, because I have been doing a lot of playing around how to guide AI more efficiently and it would be interesting to explore the topic further, if you’d be into that?

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 16/05/2026

From there, I create a branch for Claude, and another for Codex, and let them plan and execute against their own plans. And then, just wait for the film to develop and pull down the branches and open them up to see what kind of prints I get back.

I’ve been running some same experiments. I was doing product specs only, but realized that some engineering and design details were missed. So now I am including design brief(s) and engineering guides, along with UI mocks.

Haha, I didn’t want to show off my ADHD too much, but there are more side projects, to support more side projects, being made that I didn’t share 😬

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 11/05/2026

That’s a keen observation. You’re absolutely right.

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 09/05/2026

Worrywort. Definitely down for a call, too.

Ryan Hefner @ryanhefner.com · 09/05/2026

They even moved it to Thursday, but still no dice. Also, I owe you a reply to your article and I feel like my stance has gotten a little more nuanced since.

Got wrapped up in some stuff. Next time!

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.
