Cooked up a little claude slash command called /teachme for a repo I just made public. It's a 9-step guided walkthrough of the codebase. The agent opens the relevant files, points at the lines that matter, quizzes me between steps, and waits for me to actually engage before moving on.The repo is CartShop, a small… Continue reading Claude as a Learning Tool

Agents building Swishlist
The workflow is definitely becoming better and better. When I asked claude to do the plan for building out swishlist, this is what it came up with and started I then reminded it that since we're building vertical slices with event sourcing, it doesn't actually need to wait on previous features to be done before… Continue reading Agents building Swishlist
From Wishlist to Swishlist
The first app I ever built with augmented coding was a wishlist app. Back then it was copilot, for finding what the latest react syntax is, and ChatGPT for generating a usable image for the app header. It was born out of the need to keep track of whatever my kids wanted for their birthdays… Continue reading From Wishlist to Swishlist
The evolution of ChoreMonkey
I wanted to give an update on the first real app I built after the event modeling and event sourcing workshop in February (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/another-weekend-event-model-jocelyn-mae-englund-zvgef/) Since then, I've been building and maintaining more and more little apps as part of my learning journey. (You can find most of them here:https://itsybit.se/projects/) I did manage to finish my… Continue reading The evolution of ChoreMonkey
R Du På?
I got a ping from one of our ex-colleagues yesterday asking whether we had gone home for the day. Thursdays are a work from office day, and what usually happens , whether or not the sun is out is that a bunch of us from work decide to go for a few pints. I was… Continue reading R Du På?
The evolution of my development process
I spent some time going through the side projects I've built. Digibank was probably the first ever one, created with my own sweat and blood. I built it when my kids were young and they didn't have a real bank account yet. I wanted a way for them to keep track of how much money… Continue reading The evolution of my development process
Coming Up For Air
When did I last blog? It's been a while. I've been busy "vibe coding," as they call it. I can't even begin to describe how much more "productive" I've become. My free time used to be spent doom scrolling on social media. New Year's Eve, I decided to uninstall all those apps and find something… Continue reading Coming Up For Air
25 Years Later, an MVP
My high school class celebrated its 25th year anniversary last year and I had this idea of a platform where everyone could recollect memories together. I always find it interesting that people had different recollections of a specific event. I remember hesitating because I had no idea how I could execute a user experience that… Continue reading 25 Years Later, an MVP
Sportlov, Standing Trains, and Turning Thoughts Into Things
Last weekend was the start of sportlov for the kids. We didn't really have a plan, we just spontaneously decided to go to a hotel, put the computers away, and do things in the physical world for a change. We spent the days swimming, looking at sea creatures and animals (the tiger family was kind… Continue reading Sportlov, Standing Trains, and Turning Thoughts Into Things
Bed-Ridden Development and the Joy of Shipping
I haven't had time to blog in a while — weekends have been very busy. February is also known as VABuary in Sweden: kids get sick, then I get sick, and the cycle continues. But even through the fog of tissues and cough drops, things have been moving. Fast. The Openclaw Experiment Since my last… Continue reading Bed-Ridden Development and the Joy of Shipping
