Greger.el – Agentic Coding in Emacs
I was torn between using my beloved Emacs or using coding agents in Claude Code and Cursor. So I decided to have my cake and eat it. Greger uses Claude with a set of built-in tools for editing code, running shell commands, searching the internet, etc. It also has a simple interface for adding custom tools. The entire chat is a plain Emacs buffer, with markdown-like syntax. Which means that you can yank and kill and edit it like any other text file. Every file that Greger changes gets tracked as a separate commit in Git, so you can roll back if it goes off the rails. Most of Greger was…

I was torn between using my beloved Emacs or using coding agents in Claude Code and Cursor. So I decided to have my cake and eat it.

Every file that Greger changes gets tracked as a separate commit in Git, so you can roll back if it goes off the rails. Most of Greger was written in Greger, with some light human review and refactoring. Claude is okay at Lisp, but I had to add a check for parens balance before accepting Claude's edits.

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
