The vibe coder's career path is doomed
Let me get one thing out of the way immediately: LLMs are helpful. This isn't about whether LLMs can write code. They can. It's about why vibe coding might be the worst career investment you'll make.

Baby Steps into Genetic Programming
While my final ranking in the Google AI Contest was disappointing ( 280th ), it was a very educational experience and was totally offset by Gábor Melis' dominating win using Common Lisp as well.

Towards the Cutest Neural Network
I recently needed to use a microcontroller to estimate the pose (translation and orientation) of an object using readings from six different sensors. Since the readings were non-linear and coupled with each other, an explicit analytical solution was out of the question.

The AI wildfire is coming. it's going to be painful and healthy
AI won’t crash—it will burn. Like every tech cycle, the fire will clear the brush, redistribute talent, and leave infrastructure to power what comes next. The question is: what kind of plant are you?

Vibe Coding and the Future of Software Engineering
Vibe coding (or vibeware) is making rounds on X now. To the best of my knowledge Andrej Karpathy started the “meme” in this X entry . I find it well written and hilarious and it seems to have taken off.

Evaluating LLMs playing text adventures
When we first set up the llm such that it could play text adventures , we noted that none of the models we tried to use with it were any good at it. We dreamed of a way to compare them, but all I could think of was setting a goal far into the game and seeing how long it takes them to get there. I just realised there’s…
