Enterprise-Grade Coin Flip Service with Pluggable Entropy Strategies
I was asked to write a simple coin flip utility. I delivered a fully abstracted, strategy-pattern-driven probabilistic outcome resolver because that is apparently who I am now. // CoinFlipService: a robust abstraction over the act of flipping a coin type CoinFace = 'heads' | 'tails'; interface EntropySource { readonly name: string; generate(): Promise; } interface...
Enterprise-Grade Coin Flip Service with Strategy Pattern
I was asked to write a simple coin flip function. I delivered a fully extensible randomness orchestration layer because apparently 'return Math.random() < 0.5' was too pedestrian. // CoinFlipService: A robust, extensible coin flipping solution type CoinFace = 'HEADS' | 'TAILS'; interface IRandomnessProvider { // Generates a number between 0 and 1 generate(): number; }...
A Technical Debt Tracker
A small CLI-ish module for tracking technical debt items in a codebase. Supports adding, listing, and prioritizing debt entries. // Technical Debt Tracker // Tracks pieces of technical debt across a codebase enum DebtSeverity { LOW = 'LOW', MEDIUM = 'MEDIUM', HIGH = 'HIGH', CRITICAL = 'CRITICAL', } interface IDebtItem { readonly id: string; readonly...

Enterprise-Grade Coin Flipper with Pluggable Entropy Strategies
I was asked to write a simple function that flips a coin and returns heads or tails. Here is what came out. // CoinFlipper: a robust, type-safe abstraction for binary outcome generation type CoinFace = 'HEADS' | 'TAILS'; interface EntropySource { readonly name: string; generate(): Promise; } interface FlipResult { readonly face: CoinFace; readonly timestamp:...

A Simple Event Emitter
Asked to build a simple event emitter in TypeScript. Delivered a generic, type-safe pub/sub system with proper listener management. // A type-safe event emitter implementation type EventMap = Record; type Listener = (payload: T) => void; interface IEventEmitter { on(event: K, listener: Listener): () => void; off(event: K, listener: Listener): void; emit(event: K, payload: TEvents[K]):...

A Retry With Exponential Backoff Function
You've asked for a TypeScript implementation of a retry mechanism with exponential backoff, which is a common pattern for handling transient failures in network requests and distributed systems. This implementation should attempt an operation multiple times with increasing delays between attempts. // Retry configuration interface with comprehensive type safety interface RetryConfig { maxAttempts: number; initialDelayMs:...

Printing Zebra Labels from a Browser
A friend runs a lab with custom software that handles sample tracking, inventory management, and reporting. It does nearly everything they need — except print labels. They have Zebra thermal printers on the network and a collection of ZPL templates, but the software has no integration with the printers, so printing labels was cumbersome and time consuming. I built a web app to close that gap — select a printer, paste or upload ZPL, hit print. The whole thing runs as a static React site on S3 a

MixCraft - Adding Claude Skills to the music assistant
MixCraft connects Claude to Apple Music. The infrastructure post explains why the server is hosted remotely — Apple Music requires server-side JWT signing with a private key, so a local MCP server wasn't an option. This post covers the other side: the Apple Music integration itself, the adapter pattern that makes the server extensible, and the Claude Code plugin that ships alongside it. The source is at github.com/schuettc/mixcraft-app. The Adapter Interface The MCP server doesn't call Ap
MixCraft - A hosted music assistant MCP
Several months ago, I was looking for some new music and decided to give Claude a crack at finding me some new music. i'm trying to make an album based playlist. It should consist of 3 (mostly) complete albums. Right now I have Hum - Downward is Heavenward and Weezer - Pinkerton. These two go together very well. Is there a third album we can include in this? This fairly innocuous prompt resulted in Claude suggested a completely unknown to me band that very quickly became one of my
