The gist is:
Claude AI successfully ran a shop by itself!
- Actually a vending machine
- Actually a mini-fridge in our office
- Actually it gave lots of discounts and free products on our slack
- Actually it hallucinated a Venmo account and people sent payments to God-knows-who
The term "ergonomic" isn't regulated in the US, so the market is full of supposedly "ergonomic" keyboards that offer little real benefits—and in some cases, may actually cause harm.
My main gripe is with split keyboards. The traditional keyboard layout is wrong in so many ways (from the perspective of physiology and biomechanics) that just "splitting in the middle" isn't enough to avoid long-term injury.
Splitting is not wrong, but alone, it's not enough. You need to tackle it from multiple perspectives: Yes, Split the keys, so your wrists aren't bent outward, support the palms so they're not bent upward, and angle the middle part up (like a tent) to keep your forearms from twisting. That twisting is especially bad because it squeezes the carpal tunnel and can lead to nerve and tendon problems.
FatBee is my attempt to incorporate all these elements while creating something that doesn't feel too overwhelming to use.
Suggestion: Costco sell car batteries for ridiculously low prices, because they don't include installation. I recently got one for my Kia Telluride and it was $100 cheaper than any competition (because all competitions include the installed price). Installing is as easy but can feel intimidating to people: Could be another source of income for your app.
around 30% of the art in the book are commissioned, human made art. The rest are ai-generated then edited by me, so it’s not used in the book as-is.
My goal is that, if this ever get traction, make a second edition without AI-generated art.

Hello, world! I'm currently at Microsoft, ex Google - I’ve spent the last 20+ years as a software engineer, specializing in building complex front-end applications – particularly within React and TypeScript. I pride myself in being a pragmatic engineering leader, and I've worked on a wide range of exciting projects and collaborated with open-source libraries.
The Perfect World setting tells a story of human ambition, its ascension and fall, and the struggle for power in a world where technology binds everything. It delves into how AI, once humanity’s greatest ally, became a tool of corporate subjugation. Players act as neuromancers, hackers who can manipulate connected devices around them in ways that defy comprehension. If “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”, neuromancers are the wizards of this age, holding the potential to reclaim a society on the brink of collapse. Forge your narrative in a world balanced on the razor’s edge between utopian dreams and a dystopian reality.
