What Is OAuth?
@geoffreylitt.com recently asked a question about OAuth on dead-Twitter: I desperately need a Matt Levine style explanation of how OAuth works. What is the historical cascade of requirements that got us to this place? There are plenty of explanations of the inner mechanical workings of OAuth, and lots of explanations about how various flows etc […]
Cord: Coordinating Trees of AI Agents
AI agents are good at doing one thing at a time. Give Claude a focused task and it performs. But real work isn’t one task. It’s a tree of tasks with dependencies, parallelism, and context that needs to flow between them. The multi-agent frameworks are multiplying. They’re all solving the wrong problem. What’s out there […]

This program – WorldWideWeb — is the antecedent of most of what we consider or know of as ”the web” today. In February 2019, in celebration of […]
ΛProlog: Logic programming in higher-order logic
λProlog Home Page λProlog is a logic programming language based on higher-order intuitionistic logic in the style of Church’s Simple Theory of Types. Such a strong logical foundation provides λProlog with logically supported notions of modular programming, abstract datatypes, higher-order programming, and the lambda-tree syntax approach to the treatment of bound variables in syntax. Implementations […]

I hate AI side projects
The best thing about AI is that EVERYONE can build now. The worst thing about AI is that EVERYONE can build now. I’ve worked on and shared many of my side projects over the years. I built them because they gave me a chance to learn new things, such as deploying my first web app […]
Turn Dependabot Off
Dependabot is a noise machine. It makes you feel like you’re doing work, but you’re actually discouraging more useful work. This is especially true for security alerts in the Go ecosystem. I recommend turning it off and replacing it with a pair of scheduled GitHub Actions, one running govulncheck, and the other running your test […]
