Ideas (not yet drafted)​

Ideas from Thoughts to document.csv - need more context or development.

AI/Tech​

When an AI assistant explores your codebase, it reads files. Each file costs tokens. A lot of that reading turns out to be unnecessary—the AI loads a file just to discover it's irrelevant.

I built a programming language. It's called Lea, and it's designed around one core belief: code should flow the way your brain does—left to right, step by step.

WIP

I just upgraded my Fantasy Premier League helper into a Progressive Web App (PWAPWA A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a type of web application that is built with progressive enhancement, rather than traditional web development techniques. PWAs are designed to be fast, reliable, and installable on a user's device.).

I've been working on a revamped version of my Fantasy Premier League helper tool, What the FPL!? I initially built the first version back in 2019, and this version is a complete rebuild with a much more solid technical foundation. The original version used a simpler predicted points algorithm, but this rebuild takes a more sophisticated approach.
