For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been reluctantly using Claude Code. This is “reluctant” for a host of reasons I don’t want to get into at the moment, because I don’t want to turn this into a diatribe or rant, or a series of rants (no promises). Instead, I just want to talk about what I’m

Flagrant has been experimenting with spending our internal time / non-client facing time in building meaningful things. Everything from our new Shop page to our Bookshop are artifacts of the team coming together to create our own work. We want to continue creating but when the team is faced with

Though I’m not currently disabled, I spent several years of my childhood chronically ill without a diagnosis (followed by emergency surgery and a full recovery). I’ve suffered shoulder injuries that kept me away from my pottery studio and prevented me from lifting grocery bags. Once, I twisted an

This time during the Developer Roundtable, we discussed an interesting thought Casey had. The opposite of the No true Scotsman. Anything counts as a Scotsman fallacy No true Scotsman The No true Scotsman is a type of logical mistake where someone changes the definition or criteria of a

Delightfully Friday Junior comes for us all, and this time it was my turn. (What’s Delightfully Friday Junior? Check this out.) I thought what we’d do was set up some tier lists for rating things. Rating what? Whatever we wanted! That’s part of the fun of just putting a little bit of structure

This week, for the first time, I decided to try out a coding agent using the Zed editor on a free pro trial. As a seasoned developer I have found patterns that suit my pace and personality so there is often resistance to trying out the latest new tool that might disrupt my workflow. Of course,

For our final Delightfully Friday Junior (if you haven’t heard of it yet, learn more here) of the year, the team gathered to make gingerbread houses and other digitally baked scenes. As we weren’t limited to the social integrity of the usual marshmallows and graham crackers, we closed out 2025

In case you missed it, Flagrant just launched our swag shop! In honor of this, I’m super excited to give you a little BTS of the creation of some of our items and some insight into how this came about. Quick overview of the problem: Finding a way to show and sell our designs. We wanted to

I just participated in PiCoSteveMo. What’s that? It’s a month-long game jam for making a PICO-8 game inspired by a Stephen King work. Oh, did that just raise further questions? Hold on. “What’s a game jam?” It’s an event where you try to create a video game from scratch. “What’s

Life is a puzzle. You are born, you die and a lot of puzzling stuff happens in between. We here at Flagrant love puzzles. I think the thing I enjoy most about my work is that I get to solve real world puzzles everyday. Sometimes it is trying to figure out how to write a database query,

For our 4th Delightfully Friday Junior activity (see more about Delightfully Friday Junior here!) the team embarked on a virtual scavenger hunt. The goal was to use photos from our camera rolls to answer prompts and then share a bit about the photos we share. This activity was designed to get us

From a talk I gave on September 20, 2025, at XO Ruby New Orleans. If you use dark mode on any of your devices—or even if you don’t—you’ve probably seen a lot of interfaces and websites in dark themes. Framer, Google Fonts, Linear’s website, and many others showcase dark mode designs, even

What’s Delightfully Friday Junior, you ask? This is only our second go-round (see our first take—show and tell—here), so you’re forgiven for not knowing. At Flagrant we have different themes to our daily stand-ups, each one focusing on a different vibe, prompt, or mini team-building moment
