Dev Update 2026-11-10

BrainCanvas now fully supports saving and loading canvas documents with lines drawn on them, which means the feature is ready for use in the rest of my work.

It's a small but gratifying moment. I put a lot of work into making sure the design of the tool makes it easy to add new features like this, and getting the whole thing done in three hour-or-so long sessions is proof that the approach is successful.

The way "progress" unfolds in this development paradigm is very different from the way most software shops (or honestly most organizations in general) tend to operate... but it's viable, and it feels so much better than being under pressure and chasing deadlines constantly. I don't remember the last time I did any dev work and didn't genuinely enjoy it... I cannot say the same for my 20 years in industry. Not by a long shot.
