New on the Site: Radar Entries, People Directory, and Bookmarks

Site Updates Tech Radar Bookmarks Tools
Added new tech radar entries, launched a people directory and curated bookmarks section, and restructured how I track tools and resources.

Big batch of updates to the site today. I’ve been collecting links, tools, and people to follow — and rather than let them rot in browser tabs, I’m putting them where they’re useful.

New Radar Entries

Eight new entries on the tech radar, spanning developer tools and enterprise infrastructure.

Developer Tools

  • gh-aw (Assess) — GitHub’s take on running coding agents inside Actions workflows. You write automation in markdown. The security model is the interesting part.
  • VitePlus (Assess) — Single CLI replacing your dev server, bundler, linter, formatter, test runner, and package builder. Built on Vite, Rolldown, and Oxc.
  • Void Zero (Assess) — The VC-backed company behind Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, and Oxc. Launched, but tightly coupled to Cloudflare.
  • Conductor (Assess) — macOS app for running multiple Claude Code agents in parallel across isolated git worktrees. Haven’t tried it yet.
  • Copilot Custom Instructions (Trial) — The technique of shipping .instructions.md files in your repo to give Copilot persistent context. Currently trying several of them out.

Enterprise & Infrastructure

  • Azure Application Gateway (Assess) — Layer 7 load balancer with WAF, SSL termination, and path-based routing. Investigating for work.
  • Terraform (Adopt) — Industry standard for multi-cloud infrastructure as code.
  • Bicep (Assess) — Azure-native IaC that compiles to ARM templates. Simpler syntax, but Azure-only.
  • .NET Aspire (Assess) — Code-first orchestration for distributed apps. Define your stack in C#, run locally or deploy anywhere.

New Section: People Directory

I started a people directory to track engineers, researchers, and thinkers worth following. Not a “top influencers” listicle — just people whose work I reference often enough that I want a place to point to. First batch:

  • Andrej Karpathy — coined vibe coding, recently shipped autoresearch
  • Evan You — Vue.js, Vite, Void Zero
  • Eleanor Berger — AI engineering, agent skills, writes clearly about LLMs
  • Guillermo Rauch — Vercel, Next.js
  • Gergely Orosz — The Pragmatic Engineer newsletter
  • David Fowler — .NET team at Microsoft, created SignalR and Aspire
  • Martin Fowler — Thoughtworks, Refactoring, Agile Manifesto
  • Chris Richardson — microservices.io, distributed systems patterns
  • Jarred Sumner — created Bun, now at Anthropic
  • Mitchell Hashimoto — co-founded HashiCorp, building Ghostty
  • Simon Willison — co-created Django, builds LLM tools in the open
  • shadcn — shadcn/ui, design engineer at Vercel
  • Grady Booch — co-created UML, IBM Fellow
  • Uncle Bob Martin — SOLID principles, Clean Code
  • Evan Boyle — GitHub, agentic coding

New Section: Bookmarks

I curate links more than anything. Instead of pretending every link deserves a full radar entry, I created a bookmarks section for topically grouped link collections with short summaries.

Current pages:

  • GitHub Ecosystem — GitHub Next, awesome-copilot repo, Copilot CLI changelog bot
  • Web Platform — ChromiumDev and browser platform resources

These are lightweight by design. A link, a paragraph, maybe a social handle. Enough to remember why I saved it.

What’s Next

All the new radar entries are in draft. I’ll review and publish them over the next few days. The people directory will grow as I keep running into folks whose work is worth referencing. And I’ll keep adding bookmark pages as topics accumulate — cloud infrastructure, newsletters, and design resources are likely next.
