Experienced software developers assumed AI would save them a chunk of time. But in one experiment, their tasks took 20% longer | Fortune As more workers use AI, a recent study adds to growing evidence the tech doesn’t always deliver on promises of boosted productivity.
I got paid minimum wage to solve an impossible problem. An experiment involving sweeping floors, simulated annealing, and why algorithms that optimize for the wrong thing ruin your life.

This is NOT the worst LLM you'll ever use How fast is a horse? I was kinda baffled when I got the answer. For the average horse, one grazing in nature or on a ranch, they can go between 20 to 30 miles per hour. Doesn't that feel slow? What ab

Making Money From What You Care About There’s this idea floating around that if you’re top 1% at anything, you’ll make money. It sounds nice but it’s not quite true. What is true: being exceptional creates options. It doesn’t guarantee…
ASI Is a Risk to Our Digital Way of Life, Not Human Survival The current media narrative pushes AI advancement as potentially human civilization ending. However, it's much more likely that it is digital civilization ending.
The AI Pushback Problem - When Skepticism Becomes Sabotage AI companies are training models to disagree with users. But there's a difference between being helpful and being a pedantic contrarian.
Take care of yourself first Life's most important moments, the ones who shape us and determine our success or failure by our own definitions largely occur when individuals are under pressure and stress
Opus 4.5 is going to change everything Three months ago I would have dismissed claims that AI could replace developers. Today, after using Claude Opus 4.5, I believe AI coding agents can absolutely replace developers.
Deep Agents at Scale: The Three Problems You Can’t Ignore Why context size alone doesn’t solve production agents — and how real systems handle unbounded data, parallel reasoning, and reliable output.

The End of Something As I sit here in Cyprus, having just moved to a new country for the fourth time in my adult life, I find myself thinking about who I was at 19 - a nerdy, scholarly girl in Germany reading Mises, Rothbard, Hayek. Until I was 17 or 18, I didn't
Dashboards are bad (and you should feel bad) For years and years I’ve been referencing a particularly excellent blog post - The laws of shitty dashboards - and I’ve finally decided to write something myself about why dashboards are bad, and why you should feel bad about either asking for them, or, G...
LLM's shouldn't always land the plane. Pilot's have already learned that we can't delegate all the routine work to computers. Do software engineers need to learn the same lesson?

Improving the Flatpak Graphics Drivers Situation Graphics drivers in Flatpak have been a bit of a pain point. The drivers have to be built against the runtime to work in the runtime. This usually isn’t much of an issue but it breaks down in two cases: If the driver depends on a specific kernel version I...
