How did you get comfortable being seen as a beginner?

I’ve spent more than a decade working as a tech consultant, mostly behind products and teams. Recently, I started sharing my own work and thoughts more openly, and I was surprised by how uncomfortable it felt.

A lot of the hesitation had little to do with whether the post was good. I was imagining an old colleague or friend finding it and watching me start from zero in public.

I’ve become more comfortable with every post, so I ended up writing down what I’ve learned in an article.

When the work stays private, I can continue imagining that it might be good.

Once I publish it, I have to find out. Annoyingly, finding out is also how the work improves.

I made Granola run natively on Linux using its official macOS app

Granola currently ships for macOS and Windows, but not Linux. Since it is built with Electron, I experimented with running the application using the matching Linux Electron runtime instead of Wine, a VM, or emulation.

The repository does not redistribute Granola’s .dmg, app.asar, source code, or bundled binaries. You need to download the official .dmg yourself and sign in using your own Granola account. This is an unofficial compatibility project and is not affiliated with Granola.

Built a Privacy Guard Extension for When You Need to Hand Someone Your Laptop (Will Appreciate Some Feedback)

I built TabbyGuard a privacy guard for those moments when someone needs to use your laptop, but Gmail, WhatsApp, work dashboards, and personal tabs are all open.

It locks your current Chrome session without closing anything. Your tabs, windows, pinned tabs, and tab groups stay exactly as they are.

It includes:

  • Instant locking with the Panic Paw shortcut
  • Auto-lock after inactivity
  • Temporary unlock
  • A clean Guest Handoff window
  • Local-only storage with no account required

It’s mainly for people sharing laptops with roommates, siblings, family, or coworkers. It protects against casual access, not full device-level attacks.

Would love some feedback.

P.S: You can see some fun cat memes :3

if you're running an LLM-as-judge in your evals, how do you know it actually agrees with a human? Have you ever checked, or are you just trusting it?
