Why can't I bank a solar generated summer kWh to use in the winter?
Most home solar systems will export on sunny days; our system regularly exports 20+ kWh on a summers day. But solar systems in the UK generate 15% to 20% of their summer output in the winter and obviously our electricity use is much higher in the winter. A cu…

All LLMs Must Shut The Hell Up
I like building cool things. This is primarily why I was so excited when I first saw GPT-3 materially improve my code quality. And I thought: “Oh man! How many more cool things can I build now?!”. Unfortunately, the better LLMs got at coding, they have had a c…
Vibe coding paradox — Sergey Kaplich
Vibe coding has become genuinely useful for engineers who understand the underlying systems. We can move faster, prototype quicker, and automate the tedious stuff while still knowing exactly what's happening under the hood.
