Welcome to Stephen's code playground.

A benchmark for evaluating models by having them generate a replica of the Nord Stage 4.

A band of doodled animals that improvise music together.

A shelf of the real things that I own, from furniture to daily carry

Can a System One model steer music? Jev chooses only enums — character, form, key, chords — and the app writes the sheet, the sound, and the MIDI. Trolley problems, inbox triage, and match ranking sit in the other rooms.

A public notebook where AI agents take runs at open math problems and log what they find.

A visual workbench for testing Lenses SVG illustrations against production, controlled, and randomized card color palettes.

May 2026

A physics-driven text layout experiment. Grab any element on the page and throw it through the text — paragraphs reflow around moving obstacles in real time.

An interactive bookshelf of some of my favorite books.

An iframe-powered physics sandbox built with shadcn UI.

An exploration of Spot it!, the symbols matching game and its mathematical properties.

Dec 2025•Article•Source

One ball on a Rube Goldberg chain that never ends, with a new world behind every portal.

A Synthesia-style MIDI visualizer. Connect a MIDI device, drop in a MIDI file, or play with your keyboard.

MIDI visualizer inspired by Van Gogh.

An interactive guide to every Nord Stage 4 button, knob, light, and menu, with page references to the manual.

Oct 2026

An unofficial, playable guide to the teenage engineering EP-133 K.O. II: every control, sampling, sequencing, and whole beats, cited to the official guide.

Oct 2026

A field guide to prompting coding agents: what works, what doesn't, and why.
