X Career
Holmes describes himself as a product engineer and full-time Warp developer. His earlier Astro work and experiments with a framework of his own connect an interest in design with making software development easier. His videos explain topics such as React Server Components, HTMX and SQLite through compact diagrams. In his 2026 conference introduction, he identifies his Warp role as developer-relations lead.[1][6]
Contributions
Enrich notes while preserving the raw material
His knowledge-base guide starts with a directory of rough Markdown notes, including dictation. An enrichment skill adds tags, source details, timestamps and links; a separate wiki skill groups information into browsable topic and person pages that link back to the notes. An enrichment marker lets later batches find unfinished work. Scheduled synchronization can run the same skills in the background. The design separates fast capture from later organization, keeping the original material available for checking.[4]
Let people and agents use the same notebook
Hubble stores Markdown and HTML rather than requiring an agent to navigate a proprietary note database. A person can browse and edit notes while an agent changes the same files, adds connections or builds an interactive view. The notebook supplies a readable surface around the underlying folder, so generated organization remains inspectable.[5]

Build a Self-Updating LLM Knowledge Basebholmes.devA worked progression from raw notes to linked notes, wikis, scheduled maintenance and visualizations.
Start with one folder of notes and the enrichment skill before scheduling anything. Markdown and coding-agent familiarity help; the source links and timestamps make the generated organization easier to check.
Author[4]Ben Holmes starts a knowledge base with voice dictation rather than organisation, on the grounds that talking runs at 200 words a minute: capture sloppily, then let agents impose structure in later passes.
