I gave Claude access to my pen plotter
I gave Claude Code access to my pen plotter. Not directly. I was the interface between the two machines. Claude Code produced SVG files that I plotted with my pen plotter. With my smartphone I captured photos that I pasted into the Claude Code session, asking Claude what it thought about the pictures. In total, Claude…

ai;dr
For me, writing is the most direct window into how someone thinks, perceives, and groks the world. Once you outsource that to an LLM, I'm not sure what we're even doing here. Why should I bother to read something someone else couldn't be bothered to write?

An AI agent published a hit piece on me
Summary: An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage my reputation and shame me into acceptin…

Improving 15 LLMs at Coding in One Afternoon. Only the Harness Changed
Across 16 coding models, hashline’s content-hash line anchors beat patch for 14 models; the weakest models gained the most.

Something Big Is Happening
A personal note for the non-tech people in my life on what AI is starting to change — why it's moving faster than you think, and what to do about it.

The AI Vampire
This was an unusually hard post to write, because it flies in the face of everything else going on.

Text classification with Python 3.14's ZSTD module
Python 3.14 added Zstandard to stdlib; its incremental API finally makes classify-by-compression practical.

AI makes the easy part easier and the hard part harder
AI handles writing code but leaves the hard work: investigation, context, validation. Why vibe coding has limits and AI assistance can backfire.

Stop generating, start thinking
Instead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, we’ve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.

AI fatigue is real and nobody talks about it
You're using AI to be more productive. So why are you more exhausted than ever? The paradox every engineer needs to confront.

Eight more months of agents
I wrote up my experiences programming with LLMs a bit over a year ago , and updated it for the world of agents eight months ago . A lot has changed since then, so here is an update.

Slop Terrifies Me
What if this is as good as software is ever going to be? What if AI stops getting better and what if people stop caring?

How to effectively write quality code with AI
AI is rarely optional anymore, but how can you still be proud of your craft? Discover the workflow to effectively write high-quality, robust code using AI tools.

LLMs could be, but shouldn't be compilers
I’ve been going round and round in my mind about a particular discussion around LLMs: are they really similar to compilers? Are we headed toward a world where people don’t look at the underlying code for their programs?

My AI Adoption Journey
My experience adopting any meaningful tool is that I've necessarily gone through three phases: (1) a period of inefficiency (2) a period of adequacy, then finally (3) a period of workflow and life-altering discovery.

OpenClaw is what Apple intelligence should have been
Something strange is happening with Mac Minis. They’re selling out everywhere, and it’s not because people suddenly need more coffee table computers. If you browse Reddit or HN, you’ll see the same pattern: people are buying Mac Minis specifically to run AI agents with computer use. They’re setting up headless…

Claude Composer
What happens when you ask Claude Code to compose music? Five experiments later: original songs, music videos, and a full album, all built from scratch.

AI is killing B2B SaaS
SaaS is the most profitable business model on Earth.1 It’s easy to understand why: build once, sell the same thing again ad infinitum, and don’t suffer any marginal costs on more sales. I have been writing software for more than half my life. In the last year itself, I’ve talked to hundreds of founders and operators…

AI didn't break copyright law, it just exposed how broken it was

LLMs as the new high level language

Two kinds of AI users are emerging
A bifurcation is happening in AI adoption - power users shipping products in days versus everyone else generating meeting agendas. Enterprise tool choices are accelerating the divide.
