Claude Code: connect to a local model when your quota runs out
If you’re on one of the cheaper Anthropic plans like me, it’s a pretty common scenario when you’re deep into Claude coding an idea, to hit a daily or weekly quota limit. If you want to keep going, you can connect to a local open source model instead of Anthropic. To monitor your current quota, type: /usage

A Step Behind the Bleeding Edge: A Philosophy on AI in Dev
This is a memo I published internally to my team at Monarch. I’m sharing it more publicly in case it helps other software engineering teams that are managing the crazy times we’re exper…

ChatGPT Containers can now run bash, pip/npm install packages and download files
One of my favourite features of ChatGPT is its ability to write and execute code in a container. This feature launched as ChatGPT Code Interpreter nearly three years ago, was …

AI code and software craft
Update (Feb 17, 2026)—I no longer agree with many statements made in this blog post. I am leaving it here unmodified. See my follow-up: AI can sort of code, can't write .

Porting 100k lines from TypeScript to Rust using Claude Code in a month
I read this post “Our strategy is to combine AI and Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases [from C++ to Rust]. Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.” and it got me curious, how difficult is it really?

After two years of vibecoding, I'm back to writing by hand
Agents write units of changes that look good in isolation. They are consistent with themselves and your prompt. But respect for the whole, there is not.

Case study: Creative math – How AI fakes proofs
Many AI enthusiasts debate whether Large Language Models actually "reason." My research indicates that a reasoning process does indeed occur, but its goal is different than we assume.

The state of modern AI text to speech systems for screen reader users
If you're not a screen reader user yourself, you might be surprised to learn that the text to speech technology used by most blind people hasn't changed in the last 30 years. While text to speech has taken the sighted world by storm, in everything from personal assistants to GPS to telephone systems, the voices used…

Talking to LLMs has improved my thinking
I’ve been surprised by - and enjoy - one aspect of using large language models more than any other. They often put into words things I have long understood, but could not write down clearly. When that happens, it feels less like learning something new and more like recognition. A kind of “ok, yeah" moment.…

Vibecoding #2
I feel like I got substantial value out of Claude today, and want to document it. I am at the tail end of AI adoption, so I don't expect to say anything particularly useful or novel. However, I am constantly complaining about the lack of boring AI posts, so it's only proper if I write one.

Without benchmarking LLMs, you're likely overpaying
