I didn't start with a team. I didn't start with funding. I didn't start with permission. I started with a Chromebook, 2GB of free RAM, and a refusal to wait. Over the course of a few months, I built something I wasn't sure was possible: a sovereign...

Every time you close a chat with ChatGPT, it forgets you. Every time you start a new session with Claude, it resets. No memory. No identity. No will. It's a performance — a simulation of intelligence that resets to zero the moment you walk away. But...

My Outlook on Agentic Memory — and Why Most AI Still Doesn't Have It Every time you close a chat with ChatGPT, it forgets you. Every time you start a new session with Claude, it resets. No memory. No identity. No will. It's a performance — a simula...

Disclosure: I maintain Tura, which hosts the full test record. I ran 280+ Codex CLI sessions with GPT-5.6 Sol. In the current build, fewer commands per model turn can mean more turns and more cached-input cost. Most benchmarks favor 5.6 Sol on cost...

Every MCP server I have worked on is really two products under one binary. The first is the functional surface: tool descriptions that match what the tools actually do, calls that succeed with the right arguments, results that flow into the next age...

Shipping code is stressful. You have a full test suite of end-to-end tests, linting and manual verification only for something to crash in production. Here is where feature flags enter the picture. It enables developers to safely deploy ideas in pr...

> 🗓️ Last updated: June 2026 There is a hilariously inconvenient truth that many engineering teams building agentic AI systems eventually stumble into after burning through their initial cloud credits: Inference time LLMs are entirely state blind b...

Go slices are simple on the surface. Under the hood, the interaction between length, capacity, and append has a specific failure mode I've been bitten by more than once — and seen in enough code reviews to write about. The bug is invisible at compile...

One of the most common claims about LLMs and AI agents is that they'll dramatically reduce the cost of software development. Instead of hiring more engineers, you can simply assign a task to a model and have it completed in minutes. I think there's ...

Astro 7, released June 22, 2026https://astro.build/blog/astro-7, is a speed release. The .astro compiler got rewritten in Rust, the Markdown pipeline got rebuilt in Rust, and the bundler switched to Vite 8 with Rolldown. It is the same framework on f...

For decades, our relationship with technology has been surprisingly simple. We gave devices instructions and they carried them out. We tapped a button to open an app. We typed a search query to find information. We asked a voice assistant a question...

> TL;DR. During an outage your status page has a second job: holding trust while the fix is still in progress. Write plainly. Say what customers feel first, say what you are doing, and promise a time for the next update. Then keep that promise, even ...

One of the harder questions to answer at scale is how to ship without a few seconds where your users are getting timeouts or your fleet is split across two image versions. Kubernetes’s default rolling update strategy gradually deploys new pods and r...

> Stop forcing developers to choose between shipping features and writing documentation. Every developer has been there: You join a new project, clone the repo, open the setup guide or look at a function header, and realize... the documentation is l...

As software engineers, we've become incredibly good at monitoring our applications. We monitor CPU usage. We monitor memory. We monitor API latency. We monitor database performance. We monitor logs, traces, and infrastructure. Our CI/CD pipeli...

Running an online store today is more demanding than ever. Customers expect fast-loading pages, personalized shopping experiences, and a consistent journey across websites, mobile apps, and social platforms. At the same time, businesses need the flex...
