Zod v4 to OpenAPI and AsyncAPI is working! Back to shipping the actual thing.

Dark mode for an upcoming project. Designing for translucent backgrounds is pretty hard.

Building something new... although I probably spent way too much nailing down details than shipping. 4 more days to go.

Color conversion tools are so bad—limited format support, no bulk editing, or they make you input every color per newline. Built my own in an hour with Cursor + Color.js. Probably not a net time-saver, but at least bad tools won’t break my flow anymore. lik.ai/tools/color-...

Recently, I've started paying closer attention to gradients on the web for inspiration. Unfortunately, this has made color banding painfully obvious everywhere.

I write in Rust and TypeScript most days, so I rarely think about data races. Spent some time in Scala today, and a coworker caught one for me. Funny how quickly you adapt to relying on the compiler/runtime to save you.

Having lik.ai as my bsky handle gave me the push to update the website. 42% smaller js, -11k lines, and most importantly, dark mode. lik.ai/blog/nextjs-...
