A flat illustration of one tree trunk splitting into three branches, each holding its own lit desk with a laptop: robot assistants work at two desks and a person at the third, and thin lines run from every desk back to a shared archive of drawers at the roots

Two Claude Code sessions in the same folder will sooner or later edit the same file and undo each other's work. A worktree fixes that by giving each session its own copy of the files on its own branch. Here is where Claude Code stores worktrees, how they work, what they share with your main folder, and the small routine that makes them worth using.

I opened Claude Code on a side project after a day away, and it greeted me with a careful reconstruction of what we had been doing, pieced together from the notes file and the working tree. It was right, but it was a guess. The whole conversation that produced that work was sitting on disk, one command away. Here is how sessions actually persist, what a resumed one gives you back, and what it never will.

Measuring the Immeasurable

Software teams generate an ocean of numbers — commits, tickets, story points, lines of code — yet the thing we actually care about, performance, stubbornly resists measurement. This post is about that gap: why individual output is so easy to misjudge, what signals are worth watching, and how to measure teams without corrupting the very behavior you want.

A single clear signal wave cutting through a field of visual noise, illustrating how to find the sources that predict where the web platform is going

Every web developer knows the anxiety: a new framework trends on social media, a hot take declares your stack obsolete, and you wonder if you've fallen behind. The truth is that the web platform moves on a much slower, much more predictable clock than the discourse suggests — and the roadmap is public. You just have to know where it's published.

This post maps the sources that actually predict where the platform is going: standards bodies, browser vendor programs, runtime release schedules, ecosystem RFCs (request-for-comments proposals), surveys, and events. At the end there's a practical system for consuming all of it without burning out.
