I preached Sunday that empire begins by attacking a nation’s memory. Pharaoh’s first move in Exodus 1 is forgetting. Three days later came the plan for warning signs outside the National Museum of American History. The sermon and the news, side by side: thewychefamily.com/empire-be…

Four years ago I posted about CareNote. A spiritual director friend wrote back: "If you ever want to build something for spiritual directors, I have some ideas." Today the thing we built together is out. It's called Directee. #buildinpublic thewychefamily.com/introduci…

Almost 40 years after I first visited colleges, I’m doing it again with my daughter. Colleges have a lot to say about what their education will do for her, their ROI. I’m increasingly interested in a more important question: Who will she become? #college thewychefamily.com/college-t…

Okay, I have six of my 8 apps completely wired-up now via Buzz, errors are ingested, git issues created, agents dispatched to open a PR, then do a code-review after the PR, then notify me by SMS to review opened PR.

As a solo dev, the real cost of running 8 apps isn't code, it's trying to maintain context scattered across Slack alerts, AI sessions, notes, texts and voicemails. Giving Buzz a try: per-product channels, an agent per channel, everything in one place. Here's hoping this works.

Friends, we got another week! I’m hoping they continue extending it… 👏🏾

"Less luxury, more affordable housing" is easy to say and very hard to build. I worked through a real development pro forma at a housing training and wrote down what I learned, including who actually has to close the financing gap. #a2council thewychefamily.com/affordabl…

Continuing to enjoy the SaaS journey, especially now that @carenoteapp has reach my short-term financial goals. Customers are invested, it's easier to sell to new customers, and AI has been a huge multiplier for me personally. #buidinpublic

I'm in living in the future: on a plane to AZ, added a new ChMS integration (@1churchsoftware ) to @carenoteapp debugged and tested it, and just merged it into main. #laravel #claude #codex

Looking for solopreneurs between $1k–$9k MRR to connect with. It can be lonely building @carenoteapp. I’d love a regular connection point with others at or just past this stage of business growth. DM me if interested. #buildinpublic

Tonight, I spent 40 minutes in a future 11-year-old me could only dream about: an autonomous robot writing code using only my voice. I built a way to talk to #ClaudeCode while out on a walk. I was worried I’d always be tethered to a desk using CC. That fear is now gone. Wow! 🙌🏾

.@arvidkahl just wanted to say thank you for the wisdom about using AI API batching—it’s 50% cheaper. I’m working on building a sermon-archive corpus of my 1,234 sermon manuscripts to create a voice profile for an AI-assisted research and writing assistant. 🙌🏾

I think I’m sold on Claude Code. I was reluctant, and after a false start where Claude deleted $115 worth of data, I’m now convinced — it’s pretty nice. I’ve rebuilt my entire internal CRM, and it’s almost perfect. My customers, income, and expenses data are all flowing nicely.
