Using Claude Code to build a GitHub Actions workflow. I wanted to add a small feature to one of my GitHub repos - an automatically updated README index listing other files in the repo - so I decided to use Descript to record my process using Claude Code. Here's a 7 minute video showing what I did.

I've been wanting to start producing more video content for a while - this felt like a good low-stakes opportunity to put in some reps.

I just sent out the second edition of my sponsors only monthly newsletter. Anyone who sponsors me for $10/month or more on GitHub gets this carefully hand-curated summary of the last month in AI/LLMs/my projects designed to be readable in ten minutes or less.

My regular newsletter remains free - the monthly one is the only paywalled content I produce, the idea being that you can pay me to send you less.

Here's the first edition for May 2025 as a preview of what you can expect. You'll get access to the June digest and the full archive automatically if you decide to start sponsoring.
