Mobile Starlink setup, real speeds in various locations, failover to cellular, and what actually works when your office moves every week.

How I turned Claude into a useful assistant using function calling and real tools. Architecture, code patterns, and what actually works.

The meta-post about building systems for a scattered brain. Automation beats willpower, traffic lights beat dashboards, conversations beat menus.

Why I use OpenSCAD over GUI tools for functional prints. Parametric patterns, reusable modules, and a coder's approach to CAD.

Color-coded financial health beats spreadsheets. How I stopped obsessing over numbers and started using traffic lights.
