My team wrote and illustrated a satirical toddler board book on the topic of Enshittification — perfect for tech professionals, savvy toddlers, and tired adults alike.

A is for Algorithms. B is for Billionaire. C/D is for Cory Doctorow.

Thought y'all might be interested. There's a free PDF or you can request a copy for future print runs. Would love to hear what you think.

How does one decide their career path or personal goals in life when there are endless options, many of which probably will not work out?

At Oblong Industries one of the basic building blocks of everything we built was a homegrown C-based IPC system called Plasma. The message channel was an mmap'd file used as a ring buffer. All messages were human-readable, performance was good, configuration was trivial.

What was especially useful (and unusual in IPC systems it seems) was the property that message channels outlive all readers and writers, and even survive reboots, because they're just files. For local IPC you don't need a broker or server process.

All the engineers who ever worked at Oblong loved Plasma, so I've recreated and updated it, as Plasmite.

It's written in Rust and the message format is JSON, but it's fast because it's based on lite3 (https://lite3.io/index.html), a really cool project you should also check out.

Bindings for Python, Go, Node, and C, but you can also get a lot done with just the CLI tools. The basic commands are - "feed" (to write) - "follow" (to tail) - "fetch" (to read one) - "duplex" (to have a 2-way session)

I think duplex could be great for agent-agent communication, but I haven't tried this much yet. If you do, let me know!

rses claude with codex --last

That's it. Reads the Codex session (task, git log, last N turns, session file pointer), builds a structured handoff, launches Claude with it as the first message. Works all 6 directions between Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode.

Shorthand for power users: rses cc w cdx --last

~1200 lines, one npm dep (commander), zero config. Node 22+ built-in SQLite for the session indexes.

npm i -g rses-cli
