I built an AI-augmented development pipeline that starts with a Telegram message on the toilet and ends with a merged, tested PR — no keyboard required. This post walks through five stages of evolution, from copy-pasting into ChatGPT like an animal to running a self-hosted ‘scrum team’ of LLM agents on a NAS in my living room. It’s not the shiniest setup, but it’s mine — and it works.

I recently made observations on my limitations due to my ‘develper dependencies’. Anything outside my comfort zone feels bad, and I don’t like that. My plan is to create a developers survival kit and stick to it. Reducing dependencies and distractions, focusing on craft.

While working on a project, I couldn’t use Android’s ‘Development Options’ - I couldn’t access the logs. If only you could send Logcat logs, e.g. via WebSocket, and then catch them on your computer… I did not find such a tool, so I wrote one and described the process in this post.

Some tools I use with my terminal to make my work more efficient.
