miniblog.

I'm trying mini projects to exercise my new programming language and find gaps. So far I've done fizzbuzz, JSON parsing, and a crude scheme interpreter. Any ideas for additional projects? They need to be well scoped because I keep finding e.g. stdlib crashes.

I find that I'm choosing AI tools based on the quality of the harness rather than the model. For example, I'm using Claude Code Web because its model of remote VMs is extremely convenient. I'm using Perplexity because it's tuned really well for web searches.

I've been tinkering with an LLM interface with my calendar and it's really nice to use. "Delete my April trip" is a lot less fiddly than opening calendar, switching to the month view, scrolling to April and so on. I should probably build an undo as well though.
