A week ago I put a rough, honestly-a-bit-thin version of PulseWatch in front of real people for the first time. Within days, two different strangers — independently, unprompted — found two real gaps in it. Neither was catastrophic. Both were exactly the kind of thing you only find by watching someone else use the thing you built. This is the story of both, and the fixes. Bug one: the run that never ends This first bug came from a friend testing it on a real script. His question was simple: "What happens if start fires twice before end ?" Good question. At the time: nothing good. Here's why. PulseWatch works on two pings — a job calls /start when it begins and /success (or /fail ) when it's done. The server tracks whichever run is currently "open" for a monitor. The bug: if a job's process restarts mid-run — a crash-and-retry, a redeploy that catches it mid-flight, a scheduler firing twice — you get a second /start before the first run ever closes. The old run just sits there, open forever, an orphan with no ending. Worse, because the watchdog was still waiting on that run's expected finish time, it could fire a false "still running" alert for a run that was, for all practical purposes, dead and abandoned. The fix is a small rule with an outsized effect: a new /start supersedes whatever run is currently open. The old run gets marked superseded — a terminal, non-alerting status — and a fresh run begins clean. The watchdog was updated to treat superseded as a dead end: nothing to wait on, nothing to alert about, and it never shows up in a user's run history. It's not a failure and it's not a success. It's just "this run doesn't matter anymore, a newer one replaced it." The logic, roughly: def handle_start ( monitor ): open_run = monitor . get_open_run () if open_run is not None : open_run . status = " superseded " open_run . finished_at = now () new_run = Run ( monitor = monitor , status = " running " , started_at = now ()) db . session . add ( new_run ) db . session .

After I published my last article about building a Chrome extension that speaks browser notifications aloud, a commenter asked a question I didn't have a good answer to. He pointed out that a lot of web apps — Slack, Gmail, most modern tools — fire their notifications from a service worker via registration.showNotification() , not from the page's JavaScript context. My MAIN world override of window.Notification would never reach those. He was right. And I told him I'd look into it. I spent a week researching whether there was any way to close that gap. There isn't. But the reason why is more interesting than a simple "no." Two ways a website can show you a notification When a website sends you a browser notification, it can do it in one of two ways. The first is the constructor path. The page's own JavaScript calls new Notification("You have a message") directly. This is common for in-tab alerts, real-time updates when you're actively on the site, or any notification triggered by something you just did. The second is the push path. The browser receives a push event from the website's server, wakes up the website's service worker in the background, and the service worker calls self.registration.showNotification() from inside its own scope. This is what happens when Slack notifies you of a new message while the tab is closed or backgrounded. The page never runs. No page JavaScript ever fires. My extension catches the first path. The MAIN world content script overrides window.Notification before any page code runs. But the service worker never touches the page's window. It has no window . It runs in a completely isolated thread, completely separate from the page, and calls showNotification on itself. The override is never reached. Why can't the extension reach the service worker? This is the part that took me a week to fully accept. Chrome extensions can inject content scripts into web pages. They can run code in the MAIN world or the ISOLATED world of a page. They can

How a distributed, event-sourced issue tracker built with developer ergonomics in mind may have a role to play in the next generation of agentic workflows Vision drift Harness engineering has recently popularized the idea of containing architectural drift in agentic workflows. What might be missing in the discussion is a similar issue on a higher level - vision drift . By vision drift I mean that the implementation no longer drifts only from the architecture - it drifts from the original product intent. And it seems like the risk may be obscured by restricted tooling. As long as the project management tools only present a snapshot rather than a traceable story, there is an increased risk of undetected drift. Drift is detected via specification audits over time. However, while code history easily can be traversed via Git, issue tracking essentially lacks this capability. Issue trackers tend to be excellent at answering the question “what is going on right now?”, but fail at answering the question “how did our work in this area evolve last month?” or “what went on this time last year?”, or “how did we get from there to there?”. Workflow audits When I set off to build Epiq, this was not a concern on my radar. Agentic coding was something I had heard distant rumors of, and in fact I was just pursuing the ideal developer experience . This pursuit did however lead me down a path of unorthodox architecture, which in turn resulted in an issue tracker with some uncommon properties. One of these is the ability to inspect historical state by time-traveling, and replay sequences. I have not yet encountered another issue tracker with these capabilities. Initially I thought of it as a gimmick feature. Imagine the wow-factor of replaying the entire sprint in a retro, visualizing the past 2 weeks as a short movie. I thought it would help out with reflection of how much (or little) work had been accomplished. Not until I set out to do my own first fully agent-implemented feature did

Marc Lou read a tweet, slept on it, and woke up still annoyed. The tweet, from Pieter Levels, was about all the fake revenue screenshots on X. By the next evening Lou had built a thing to fix it. By the day after that, the thing had made $20,378. That is the part everyone retweets. I want to walk you through it, and then I want to show you the line in his own year-end letter that complicates the whole legend. The setup Lou got fired by Tai Lopez in November 2021, was broke and depressed, and moved to Bali. He started shipping tiny products in public, copying the playbook of, yes, Pieter Levels. His breakout was ShipFast , a Next.js starter kit that did $40,000 in its first month in September 2023. By December 2025 he was running 15 startups generating about $84,900 a month, with cumulative revenue past $2.26 million, per his verified TrustMRR data. The reason I trust his numbers more than most is that he verifies them through Stripe on his own product, TrustMRR , which brings me to the 24-hour story. The moment something worked, absurdly fast TrustMRR exists to kill fake MRR screenshots. You connect a read-only Stripe key, and it shows your verified revenue on a public page nobody can edit. Lou built it in a day on top of his own boilerplate, which is the cheat code here. He was not starting from zero, he was starting from ShipFast. "TrustMRR is 24 hours old and was built in 24 hours." @marc_louvion on X He monetized it with sidebar ad slots. He listed them at $299 a month, then raised the price each time one sold, all the way to $1,499. In his newsletter he wrote that within three days every slot was gone and the side project had made $20,378. He called it the third fastest-growing thing he has ever built. Five days in, he posted the run-rate dream out loud. "20/20 spots filled! TrustMRR went from $0 to $18,380 MRR in 5 days. That's $220,000 ARR if I'm allowed to dream a little" @marc_louvion on X It kept going. By December 2025 TrustMRR was his single biggest inco

I'll Be Honest: The Internet Already Has Translators I know. Language translation isn't a new idea. There are already huge translation platforms out there. So when I started working on a translator for my tools website, I wasn't thinking: "I'm going to reinvent translation." Not at all. My thought was much simpler: "Can I make quick translation feel less distracting?" My Frustration Was Actually Pretty Simple Sometimes I just need to translate text. That's it. I don't want to: Create an account Open five different menus Break a long text into tiny pieces Jump between multiple tools I want to paste the text... Choose a language... And get the translation. So I Built My Own Version 👉 https://allinonetools.net/language-translator/ The tool currently supports 200+ languages and language variations . You can: Detect the source language Select the target language Translate long text Upload text Use voice input Listen to the result Copy or share the translation And I wanted to keep the text experience simple without forcing users into tiny input limits. Just: Enter → Choose Language → Translate 200+ Languages Sounded Simple Until I Saw the List English. Hindi. Gujarati. Spanish. Arabic. These are the languages most people immediately think about. But then I started going through the full language list. Abkhaz. Acholi. Afar. Alur. Aymara. Baluchi. And many more. Honestly... I hadn't even heard of some of them before building this. That was probably my biggest learning moment. I Realized How Small My Own View of the Internet Was As a developer, it's easy to build around the languages we personally know. For me, seeing English, Hindi, and Gujarati feels normal. But the internet is much bigger than my own experience. Someone somewhere may be trying to understand a sentence in a language I've never even heard spoken. That changed how I looked at this tool. The Hard Part Wasn't Adding a Dropdown A dropdown with 200+ options looks impressive. But that's not the real problem. The
