Haphazard is where small developer tools get worked out in public: utilities for the moments when editors, terminals, worktrees, and coding agents almost fit the job—but not quite.
How a tool earns its keep
The useful idea is usually hiding inside a repeated annoyance—not waiting in a roadmap template.
Editors, terminals, worktrees, and coding agents are the material. The tool should fit the way the work already moves.
A focused utility that earns a place in the daily loop beats a broad idea that never leaves the notebook.
