I'm somewhat frazzled after managing to get through 25 days of agentic coding. It hasn't actually been that much physical work, but I underestimated just how much my brain would be in full gear multitasking across so many terminal windows and ideas. My outbound queue that I didn't manage to write up is enormous: I have sessions running with OxCaml experiments, io_uring webservers, implementations of ATProto, a pure OCaml Parquet, and some even stranger ideas I won't go into now!
In the past, my computer systems brain was limited by the speed of coding, but now it feels like we're entering a different age. I'll reserve my longform thoughts on all of this for the new year as I need to head into Christmas festivities, but I wanted to leave you all with my Claude Code OCaml marketplace in case you want to try this stuff for yourself!
1 Claude Skills and marketplaces
Claude has made it very simple to distribute plugins. I just created a GitHub avsm/ocaml-claude-marketplace and kicked off Claude's own development plugin to develop plugins with. I then fed it all my skills and asked it to generalise them a bit. They'll likely need some work to generalise beyond me, but feel free to send in PRs!
I'll be back in the new year with more thoughts, but in the meanwhile, I hope you all have a very good holiday and a chance to recharge! It's going to be a mad 2026...
