File-system synchronized groups: how Claude Code drives Xcode
An agent can't click the New Project wizard. Xcode 16's file-system synchronized groups are the seam that lets it own every source file anyway.

Setting up Claude Code for an iOS project
Writing the CLAUDE.md for a new iOS app before any Swift exists: the MusicKit-in-simulator trap, CloudKit's SwiftData rules, and the learning-project framing.
Development
Hashnode cross-posting in the blog manager
Hashnode is a third syndication target, and the first over GraphQL: no client gem, a two-step publish flow, and sync by slug instead of draft ID.
Development
Adding Dev.to as a syndication target
The Forem API as the anti-Medium, a shared LinkedIn announce service with idempotency, and the Zeitwerk acronym gotcha that struck twice.
Development
Building a blog syndication backfill
72 Medium posts my database knew nothing about: the RSS cap, an undocumented GraphQL workaround, Unicode apostrophes, and the kamal stdin trap.
Development
Untangling the Colima dependency in Kamal deploys
My Mac's Docker daemon was a load-bearing part of production deploys. Build-once-deploy-many with Kamal 2, and the three research assumptions that were wrong.
Development
When Medium doesn't have an API: RSS polling and LinkedIn cross-posting
Detecting Medium publishes by polling the RSS feed, LinkedIn's four mandatory headers, and the Zeitwerk acronym rule that broke migration rollback in CI.
Development

Making dashboard titles link to the live posts: a configurable path prefix, a pub_date gate against broken links, and a spec column I scrapped.
Development
Adding Pexels image search to my blog manager
In-page Pexels search with Turbo Frames, the auth header quirk that 401s Bearer tokens, and a singleton settings model for the API key.
Development

A push-to-Medium button on a deprecated-but-working API: injectable Net::HTTP, on-demand markdown rendering, and a state machine split between job and service.
