Notes from building it.

The engineering, the design, and the reason any of this exists. Written for the people who'd recognize a good kill when they see one.

  1. Engineering · July 2026 · 4 min The same table, over SSH. One static binary on any Linux box: the listener table instead of the ss/ps/docker dance, a clipboard that reaches back through the tunnel, and le ready for CI.
  2. Open source · July 2026 · 4 min The CLI is open source. le — the terminal version, MIT-licensed: the live table, folder sweeps, an SSH-aware clipboard, and the audit trail that comes with the code.
  3. Shipping in public · June 2026 · 5 min We got roasted on Reddit. Here's what was true. A few hundred angry comments, sorted: which hits landed, which missed, why we're keeping the 127 icon anyway, and the one reply I'd take back.
  4. Engineering · May 2026 · 8 min Killing a process is harder than it looks. The PID-recycling race every naive process killer ships with, why an interpreter is the wrong name for a process, letting the kernel do the work, and the limits we don't paper over.
  5. How we made it · May 2026 · 5 min How we made the icon with Claude Design. No designer, no Figma. The URL handoff between Claude Design and Claude Code, and the conceptual leap — the glyph should just be 127 — that I would have skipped on my own.
  6. Why I built this · May 2026 · 4 min The month I got used to the fan. A month of an overheating MacBook, blamed on everything except the thing I should have checked. I knew the lsof command. I just kept telling myself I'd check later.
