How many strings can you create per second?
We create new strings all the time. How quickly can you produce short strings in your programming languge? To create a meaningful string, we convert an integer to a string. In Python, that is str(i). The loop stores each new string in a small ring buffer of 10…
Shipping Code Faster Is Not the Bottleneck
Agent-loop discourse sells parallel code output. For solo builders the binding constraint is usually demand, and a useful receipt needs cost, artifact, and a user-visible before/after.
Fifteen years ago I helped popularise the meta viewport width=device-width,initial-scale=1. Today I found out the second bit is no longer necessary. A retrospective.

What's the Ideal Company-Brain Harness?
Everyone's defining the ideal coding agent. The company-brain harness people actually want knows the company, clears urgent work, stays multiplayer — and stays open to the agents they already use.

A eulogy for the software engineer | Dave Kiss
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to bury the software engineer, along with a pair of headphones, a notebook, and a keyboard. A talk about what went in the ground, and what's still in your hands.
How the American corporation became the safety net, and what happens now that AI is dissolving the jobs that held it up.

Isn't agent memory just a bunch of markdown files with an MCP? Sometimes! But there's real nuance in how and when you store and retrieve. An interactive tour of every way agents can remember.
Jev is built for tinkerers
I sorted a week of Jev to find the killer use case. The sweet spot is far narrower than it looks, and it won't be Jev that fills it.
The Atoms Are Already Deployed
Cloud AI sells itself as a software business. Underneath the API sits the largest industrial buildout in the history of computing, and you are paying the depreciation by the token. The hardware that matters is already on your desk.
An Anthropic engineer's answer shifted from no to maybe in six months. Three incidents show what Claude can investigate, fix, and still get wrong.

Container Registry on the Edge | Evan Pratten
A significant number of my personal projects at some point involve wishing I could put a container registry closer to users.
Active Directory Penetration Testing Playbook
This playbook grew out of my own need for a practical Active Directory field guide that I could use during real penetration tests instead of relying on scattered notes, command collections and memory.

Code is the future of hardware engineering. - Charles AZAM
Code is the purest way to express complexity. We used it to describe engineering systems at Jimmy. Now I'm taking the idea further with AI agents and a drone.
AGI-level systems are now attainable while much of the economy being built around them still follows a fundamentally pre-AGI model, creating tools for humans rather than organizations designed around autonomous intelligence itself.
Earlier this year, I believed planning was going to become the most important part of building software with AI.
The Great CI Bottleneck of 2026 | Dagger Blog
The output of coding agents is growing too fast for CI to keep up. Traditional platforms are imploding and there is demand for something new.

Go 1.27 adds an experimental platform-agnostic SIMD API
I've been working on my homelab for years, and I enjoy sharing what I learn through this blog and my YouTube channel. Over the past few years, I realized the homelab community (which isn't really a defined thing—that's okay) hasn't had its own gathering, the w…
