Featured post what's this? ✨ invlpg – Premature Optimization is Fun Sometimes A colleague of mine was recently discussing a connectivity monitoring system he is working on with me. It’s nothing fancy, just sending ICMP Echo Requests to a couple of different servers, and monitoring latency and dropped packet averages over 1-minute, ...
Anatomy of a high-performance EP kernel How expert-parallel dispatch and combine kernels work, built up from scratch: the high-throughput shape and the low-latency one.

Get Rid of It 'Delete any part or process you can. You may have to add them back later. In fact, if you do not end up adding back at least 10% of them, then you didn't delete enough.'
A Mechanical Agentic Taxonomy Anthropomorphic metaphors have their place in how we talk about agentic systems. Treating an agent like a persona or a subagent like a teammate can speed up early design conversations. Even the word skill frames a collection of conditionally loaded text f...
My Journey in Open-Source Library Development How I built DeftSharp.Windows.Input, my first open-source .NET library. Finding an idea, attracting early users on Reddit, and growing a global contributor community.

The Boot Chain of a RISC-V Board: From Silicon to Ubuntu 26.04 When you press the power button on the SpacemiT K3 Pico-ITX, Ubuntu 26.04 appears on the serial console about 30 seconds later. Between those two events, five distinct software layers run in sequence, each one handing off to the next. Understanding what e...
I tested 7 secrets managers in 2026 and graded them by DX. What decides whether a team adopts a secrets manager isn't encryption or price — it's how much the tool gets in your way.
Don't mop the floor. Fix the leaky faucet. Complexity is a choice. Simplicity is also a choice. Look for the root cause.
Everyone got excited they can suddenly code, and completely missed the point Coding agents made software cheap to build. That just exposed the bottleneck that was always there: deciding what to build. A rant about broken product orgs, why PMs should use agents for discovery and not delivery, and why your best people will walk.
Digesting a codebase before a model reads it Across every organisation I’ve worked in, documentation is either missing or, once written, out of date. So, we’ve stopped treating it as something people maintain and made agents regenerate it on every code change.
Please, use a link! This is a rant. It didn't start today, but I think I've reached the end of the line. The straw that broke the camel's back, so to say. I used an internal tool for the first time. I logged in and navig

What if Mario had a gun Mario 64 and Mario Odyssey are one of my favorite videogames. Mario Sunshine could be up there as well but my right joycon is broken and there’s a point in the game where I have to look at the sun but can’t enter first person camera mode. There’s someth...
Why LLMs (still) lack taste Frontier LLMs are really smart, and they’re becoming particularly good at software development. It feels like every week there’s a new model release that achieves SOTA scores on a handful of benchmarks. I use LLMs to build software every day, and they’re ...

I Built a Liquidity Sniper Bot for BNB Chain, and It Proved a Losing Game I built a complete, real-time DeFi sniper bot in Go, took it live with real money on BSC, and let the data answer one honest question: can a retail bot win at sniping new token launches? It can't, and the why is more interesting than a profit chart.
It used to be hard There's this weird emotion I've been experiencing lately, that I can only seem to describe as a desire to climb on a roof and yell: "It used to be hard!".

Skynet: Towards Synthetic Neurobiology The original idea was a joke. I was looking at LLM loops and thinking about how they map onto Elixir’s actor model — GenServers that receive messages, process them, maybe spawn new processes. The jump from “LLM reasoning step” to “GenServer handling a mes...
