  • Only bags brewed 2+ ways (2+ brews each) count.
  • Likely / Possible: the gap is 2×+ / 1.5–2× its margin of error (about 95% / 87% sure).
  • Columns: rated brews, bags, average rating, SD; under the name, the months used.
  • No match: never brewed on the same bag as another recipe.
  • Only 2 bags Low confidence: under 3 bags or 10 rated brews (4 for one coffee).

Built with help from Claude Code, an AI coding assistant How AI was used Contact

How this site was built

I built Bean Tracker with Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding assistant. Here's who does what.

What I do

  • Set the direction: which features get built, and in what order
  • Drive the technical decisions, drawing on my experience as a Staff SRE, DevOps engineer, and software engineer: architecture, hosting, testing, and releases
  • Bring nearly all of the coffee knowledge, from recipes, gear, and pour structure to extraction, rest, and water
  • Shape every design: I review each spec and push back on layout, wording, and behavior until it's right
  • Test every change in a live preview, on desktop and on my phone
  • Set the engineering standards: tests at every screen size, shareable links for every view, signed commits, and staged releases
  • Own the data: every coffee, rating, and note, plus the judgment calls on it
  • Run the infrastructure the site lives on: hosting, domains, and backups
  • Act as project manager and technical lead, and decide what gets published, including this note

What Claude Code does

  • Writes nearly all of the code and automated tests, following my direction
  • Drafts the designs, specs, plans, and docs for me to review
  • Researches options and explains the tradeoffs so I can decide
  • Analyzes my brewing data to suggest values, which I confirm or change
  • Releases and deploys changes once I give the go-ahead
  • Often runs several AI agents at once: one builds while another reviews

Nothing ships without my sign-off. I review every change in a live preview, and automated tests plus a separate AI code review check the code itself.
