      <description>I spent eighty minutes on The Bellmann Show sharing my screen: how an idea becomes a merged pull request without me writing it, how a customer call turns into fixes, and the bottlenecks I keep hitting. How I build now links to it, with the best chapters.</description>

      <title>Compute is down. The next wall is me.</title>

      <description>My fleet now watches its own memory and CPU, rents a Google Cloud machine when all three of my computers are full, and deletes it when the job is done: 30 machines in the first week for $2.05. That broke the compute wall, and the one behind it is human attention, so How I build now has a ninth wall and my guess at what breaks it: letting agents make more of the routine decisions themselves.</description>

      <description>The music in the player at the bottom left of the site is now out as an album, Above the Fog, plus a single, Signal From the Basement, on Spotify and Apple Music. The player links to whichever one the current track is on.</description>

      <title>Open source, starting with MetaBro</title>

      <pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2026 17:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>The homepage now has an Open source section with what I have published on GitHub. The newest is MetaBro, a Claude Code plugin that tells you, in a surfer-bro voice, when you are fixing the output instead of the harness that produced it.</description>

      <title>How I build: five practices, four skills</title>
      <link>https://mizzi.com/how-i-build#practices</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="false">2026-10-16-practices</guid>
      <pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2026 17:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>New on How I build: why a self-repairing job should never wait for me, why the agent decides and a script does the work, and how a week-long job hands itself to a fresh session. Four new skills too, including six sub-agents that each own one question before I make a bet.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="false">2026-10-14-idea-brain</guid>
      <pubDate>Wed, 14 Oct 2026 17:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>Execution is mostly covered now; the ideas are what matter. So How I build now maps all 157 skills, 48 commands and 21 hooks I have written, by area and group, as a 3D brain or a tree. Open any skill to see what it does and copy it as a prompt to build your own. There is also a new section of practices: the habits around the skills, filed under the same areas.</description>

      <description>Everything I tell people who ask how to get started with Claude Code, in one place: what you need, a twenty-minute install, how to talk to it, a first project and the habits for your first month. If someone keeps asking you, send them this.</description>

      <title>How I build: Orca, cloud burst, my own mail client</title>
      <link>https://mizzi.com/how-i-build#bn-8</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="false">2026-10-13-orca-and-cloud-burst</guid>
      <pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>I moved from cmux to Orca and opened about 110 task worktrees in five days, and when my three machines are full the fleet now rents a cloud machine for the job. The October timeline and the compute wall have the new numbers, and the ideal setup now leads with the 3D plan. I also started building my own mail client in Swift, shaped around how I handle email.</description>

      <description>A measured account of a year building SKU.io with Claude Code: the eight bottlenecks along the way, the setup that removed each one, and the numbers behind it, all taken from my own session logs.</description>

      <description>The 2003 site is retired after 23 years. The new one covers what I work on now, and the original is still up at /2003.</description>
