Software, agents, and the odd startup idea.

I'm Guillaume. I've built and scaled products in startups for the past 15 years. I write about software I find interesting, how I work with coding agents, and now and then a startup idea I've prototyped. If one of those is yours to build, fund or sell, let's talk.

Notes

  1. The part of Anthropic's Scion post you can actually copy

    Everyone read about Scion, the new source control system. The bigger change is three sentences about dropping the merge queue for post-merge and pre-deploy testing.

    • ci
    • source-control
    • agents
    • monorepo
    • adlc

  2. A TV stand from a one-line prompt, then without screws

    I designed a solid-oak TV stand with Claude Code and the text-to-cad plugin, priced it at Leroy Merlin, then rebuilt it with Japanese joinery using kumiki.

    • furniture
    • cad
    • joinery
    • claude-code

  3. Chaining jQuery and Angular promises

    A small snippet to bridge jQuery's deferred and Angular's $q.

    • angular
    • jquery
    • promises

Ideas

The first idea is on the workbench.
