A couple months ago, I wrote about how design tools are the new design deliverables and built the LukeW Character Maker to illustrate the idea. Since then, people have made over 4,500 characters and…

It's true. A team at OpenAI spent five months building and shipping a complex internal product with 0 lines of manually-written code . Let's dive into their recent breakdown of Harness Engineering ,…

A few weeks ago AWS dropped Agent Plugins, a packaging model that bundles skills, MCP servers, hooks, and reference docs into installable units for AI coding agents. Two commands and your Claude Code…

A system freeze led us deep into Linux spinlock internals, where we helped find not one but three bugs in the kernel's resilient locking code used by eBPF.

A gentle introduction to Bayesian statistics for data scientists who, like me, are confused by it.

Interactive demo for the Privacy Gateway API: anonymize and deanonymize text with PII detection.

An experiment in turning AI-generated SVGs into something animated, reusable, and actually useful for storytelling. This post was written as part of my entry for the Gemini Live Agent Challenge.…

It's been a week since I learnt about Inkwell's API and got an agent to start work on an RSS reader. Since then, Well Read has been in a state of flux, as I ask for agents to make changes to the…

A thorough and detailed hands-on guide

Over the past few years, we’ve seen an explosion of interest in AI. Most of the conversation has been centered around large language models and generative tools. While those are fascinating in their…

This post will show you how to migrate to using Node.js subpaths and how to use the no-restricted-imports and perfectionist/sort-imports ESLint rule to help you sort your imports.

Volume 10 , Issue 14 ; 17 Mar 2026 An experiment in typsetting from XML with Typst. Last week, I described an idea I had for modeling Typst with XML. I spent a few more evenings exploring those ideas…

starting with a single number forget everything that you know. forget model. forget parameters. let's just start with a single number. a neural network is just a floating point number - say 0.347. so…

In November, I posted how to make Claude Code mark itself as the author of git commits. You can do the same with OpenAI Codex.

I wrote code without tests that ran in production without defects, and I wrote buggy code with TDD (Test Driven Development). Time to look back at 35 years of coding and when tests help, and when…

With compression algorithms, files are rewritten so that they are smaller, and can be expanded when needed. The main cost to using compression is the time required to encode and decode the data. One…

I have been riding audax events for a few years now. If you are not familiar with the sport, audax (also called randonneuring) is long-distance unsupported cycling. Rides are called brevets and they…

This is awesome, and I can’t believe how well this works. I can write code in all sorts of different languages. I understand YAML. I can handle Node Red. What I can’t do is remember the names of all…

I set out on a year-long quest to find out if we can really use AI to write production-quality code. I assumed the answer was no. I was wrong.

MCP servers contain tools, and each tool is described by its name, description, input parameters, and return type. When an agent is calling a tool, it formulates its call based on only that metadata;…

Part 6: Query Processing — Getting the Question Right

Last weekend I was playing with Claude AI. I need to get more experience of generative AI for work, and that requires a larger project to play with. But what do I work on? Suddenly, code is easy. I…

Most SQL tools treat SQLite as a “flavor” of a generic SQL parser. They approximate the language, which means they break on SQLite-exclusive features like virtual tables, miss syntax like…

The OpenClaw matrix plugin has a npm dependency issue, it will cause error like 1[plugins] matrix: crypto runtime bootstrap failed: Cannot find module '@vector-im/matrix-bot-sdk' 2Require…

Over the past year, I’ve had a recurring conversations with developer advocates at different companies, different stages, different products. The details change. The frustration doesn’t. They feel…

I’ve been very critical of AI but have never really used it in depth and I feel that needs to change. Don’t criticize what you don’t know. I’m going to ignore the moral,…

Java 26 is here, and its main purpose seems to be to provide a solid foundation for future things to come. It comes with a few new features, some performance improvements and multiple enhancements…

I coded Charlie Munger's quality investing philosophy in QuantConnect C# — 10% CAGR over 11 years. Here's what worked and what didn't. The post Charlie Munger’s Quality Investing — Coded in…

This is a very short post to let you know that you can ignore files in Git globally, which is very useful for certain pesky files… The post Git ignore files globally appeared first on…

What it's actually like building a SaaS product in 90-minute evening sessions — the progress, the unglamorous parts, and why the coding isn't the hardest thing.

No kubectl, no manifests, no explaining what a namespace is.. I wanted to know what it actually takes to hide Kubernetes from the people running workloads on it. Not abstract it a little, hide it…

I fixed the graphics drivers on my laptop and Darktable—for the unaware, an extremely solid OSS photo editing software—went from essentially unusable to decently fast. After years of…

This is pretty exciting. I heard about Kaparthy's Autoresearch only vaguely: it's a way of getting the LLM to run experiments on itself(?), running for long periods of time. It wasn't until I read…

Two years ago, I was pondering ways to enhance borrowck with proof-based analysis. At the time, I was only aware of formal verification tools for functional languages, while Rust is impure. For the…

Python 3.15’s JIT is now back on track

A practical guide to maximising engineering productivity with AI tooling — covering context management, instructions files, testing, and team workflows.

These are commands I use often and see a lot of value from. I advise you at least to consider using them in case you haven’t tried them yet. Commands claude --worktree or claude -w In case you…
