Dew of Your Youth

I built a cheese catalog in Elixir, letting an LLM fill in flavor profiles and pairings — then used pattern matching to keep the data honest.

A voice note got misread as a literal agenda item called ‘whatever I missed.’ The fix turned into a general system for catching ambiguous commands, logging corrections, and a plan to move routine parsing off the API and onto a local model.

Twenty Arabic songs across Tunisian, Algerian, Levantine, and Sudanese dialects — liner notes for training your ear, song by song.

My personal-ops bot’s weekly digest kept turning noisy logs into confident diagnoses. The fix was one rule: count first, interpret second, diagnose cautiously.

I built a Telegram bot to offload my executive function and accidentally gave myself a taskmaster. So I rebuilt it around one rule from the Talmud and the Daode Jing: be a reed, not a cedar — firm but yielding, advisory not prescriptive.
