Running coding agents using LLMs. And many people say it’s just orchestration. There is some truth in it. But this following quote from ycombinator makes a great point worth noting. I saw someone use the term “orchestration”, which seems to be the word for building the software using LLM tools.…

Chris Gregori has a thought-provoking article on the rise of coding agents. Most of what he says resonates with me. Software is becoming a personal utility. I think winzy is my answer to that problem—when someone wants a low-effort harness for those little scripts. More people are making, and will continue…

Let’s be honest – Git can be intimidating. For many developers, it’s a powerful tool, but the underlying concepts – branches, commits, repositories – can feel like a black box. You might be able to run commands, but without a solid understanding of how Git works, you’re essentially flying blind.…

Be excited about the coding agents but don’t fall for it. Cal Newport touches upon an historical notes that’s worth reading. It’s hard not to hear echoes of Braverman’s deskilling argument in something like Cherny’s AI programming demo. A world in which software development is reduced to the ersatz management…

I’ve completely switched to the ZED editor. I’d been using VS Code for a long time – it was the editor I used at the office and at home. However, for my home computers, I’ve fully migrated to ZED, and this past week I’ve completely uninstalled VS Code from my…

From François Chollet GenAI isn’t just a technology; it’s an informational pollutant—a pervasive cognitive smog that touches and corrupts every aspect of the Internet. It’s not just a productivity tool; it’s a kind of digital acid rain, silently eroding the value of all information. Every image is no longer a…

Aaron Levie posted an article on x that’s is so relevant now. Jevons paradox is coming to knowledge work. By making it far cheaper to take on any type of task that we can possibly imagine, we’re ultimately going to be doing far more. The vast majority of AI tokens…

We were browsing the Christmas market in Chester when a notification popped up on my phone – it was from GitHub, about a PR for crontab-win. I glanced at it, ignored it, and moved on. Little did I know, that PR would lead to the new release of crontab-win! As…

Sam Rose explains LLM in this visual essay. One of the best explainer that I have come across apart from the 3blue1brown videos on YouTube.. This is one the best, cleanest and easy to go through visual essay to understand the working of LLM. Read it if you have time.…

Interesting article by Kent Beck. Junior developer—obsolete accessory or valuable investment? I’ve been watching junior developers use AI coding assistants well. Not vibe coding—not accepting whatever the AI spits out. Augmented coding: using AI to accelerate learning while maintaining quality. […] The juniors working this way compress their ramp dramatically.…

Martin Alderson has published an excellent post exploring whether the cost of software development has dropped by 90%, accompanied by a compelling graph. He asks:  Has the cost of building software just dropped 90%? The post is packed with valuable insights—it’s worth reading in full if you have the time. Alderson…

A single unhandled exception destroyed a $500 million rocket in seconds. The F-35 wasn’t going to make the same mistake. By carefully slicing C++, engineers created one of the strictest coding standards ever written. This video appeared right after I finished a week-long C++ refresher training, and I couldn’t have…

I was nodding my head in agreement while reading the essay by Matt Ranger, Kagi’s head of ML. He had an interesting analogy and you should go and read the full essay. But remember that LLMs are bullshitters: you can use LLMs to get incredible gains in how fast you…

When I saw this tweet from @saylordocs, it reminded me why investing is hard….. “If I put $100 in Bitcoin in 2010 I’d have $2.8B now.” No. If you bought $100 of Bitcoin in 2010 and watched it go to: $1k → $100k → $1.7M and did nothing Then watched…

Warren Buffet says goodbye in his final letter on 10th November. As he signed off, the following were his final words of advice One perhaps self-serving observation. I’m happy to say I feel better about the second half of my life than the first. My advice: Don’t beat yourself up over past…

I recently encountered a limitation with my Nitnem app on Raspberry Pi while trying to play MP3s using the command nitnem -a file.mp3. It didn’t support piping file names, which didn’t sit well with me. So, I fixed it! Now, I’ve set up a cronjob that runs ls -t1 *.mp3…

When I first saw LLM-generated code and writing, I was both bewildered and shocked. Initially, I questioned the purpose of my this blog. But after taking a step back, I realized that writing and coding encompass so much more than what LLMs can replicate. This recent Francois Chollet quote brought…
