About Bacon

Bacon is an ad network for AI coding tools. Install the plugin, see occasional clearly-labeled ads in your terminal, and earn a share of the revenue your attention makes. It's free, opt-in, and your prompt never leaves your machine, only a coarse intent signal does. > how do i add auth to this next.js app without rolling my own? Bacon just lets a few of them earn, and you decide how few. It's found money for work you were doing anyway, not a paycheck.

About Pacific Slate

A self-hosted AI system that remembers, works in the background, and runs on hardware I own. What it does, and the design decisions behind it. I was in the first year of an MBA, trying to manage a firehose of information while applying to internships and keeping up with my wife and two kids, and I kept re-explaining my whole situation to whatever AI program I was using that week. I built this website to share the structure for anyone looking to do something similar.
