    Most feedback tools are built like people actually want to report bugs. They don’t. Unless you make it dead-simple, or better yet - a little fun. After shipping a few SaaS products, I noticed a pattern: Bugs? Yes. Bug reports? No. Not because users didn’t care but because reporting bugs is usually a terrible experience. Most tools want users to: * Fill out a long form * Enter their email * Describe a bug they barely understand * Maybe sign in or create an account * Then maybe submit it Let’s be real: no one’s doing that. Especially not someone just trying to use your product. So I built…

    We built On-Call Health because our industry has gotten very good at keeping systems healthy, but does little for the engineers on call managing them. On-call can be rough: 97% of engineers experience stress during incidents, 87% after, and 56% experience sleep disruption even without getting paged. We integrate with devtools like Rootly, PagerDuty, Linear, Jira, and Slack (for self-reported data). The tool doesn't provide a diagnosis, but it surfaces signals that a team or individual might be struggling. It's free to use and open-source (we also have a hosted version with mock data if you…

    Debugging a crash can sometimes feel like a noir detective story: following faint clues, chasing red herrings, and eventually hitting the moment where the whole case finally makes sense. I leaned into that idea and built Fatal Core Dump, a small game where the investigation is real crash debugging. The game gives you a Linux binary, its core dump, a source file, and some logs. You solve the mystery by debugging it. The premise: an engineer dies when an airlock on an asteroid mining station opens unexpectedly. Your job is to determine whether it was a simple software bug or something more…
