Weeknotes #71 (March 14, 2026)

Posted on: Mar 14, 2026

Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.

Things I worked on

• Finally got to a MVP and open sourced my TCG Tracker app. If you want to use it and run into issues let me know in the issues tab.

Things I consumed

• I got deep into the new Pokemon game that came out last week: Pokopia. Mixture of Pokemon and Animal Crossing, but impressive how deep the mechanics go.
• T3 Chat creator Theo made a video Open source is dying that goes into the difficulties that Open Source is getting hammered by AI contributions / slop and I feel this to the core. At the core in particular, GitHub is so far behind on actually managing all of the activity that is in bad faith, and I don't know if as a company are going to be able to fix it given one of their main financial incentives right now is to make everyone use tools like Copilot which is contributing to the problem itself. That said as mentioned in the video, projects like Vouch and Open Source Pledge can hopefully push more towards better incentives to make meaningful progress towards a healthier open source community.
