 --- Have you heard about calculators? Do you know that calculators can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and some other basic math fast and without...
Read articleThe most dangerous government AI strategy in 2026 is also the most fashionable: treating autonomy as the goal. In April 2026, GAO reported that federal agencies more than doubled AI use from 2023 to 2024, even as acquisition teams still faced gaps in technical expertise and cost visibility. Spee...
Read articleI've been on a bit of a "install random dev tools and see if they actually hold up" kick lately, and this time I pointed it at Dopbase. It's a secrets manager that claims to be a server, admin UI, REST API, and CLI all packed into one binary. No sponsorship, nobody paid me for this, I just grabbed ...
Read articleI use AI constantly when I code and when I write. I use it to research ideas, plan code, debug, explore unfamiliar APIs, review architecture, generate tests, explain weird behavior, and write chunks of code faster than I could manually. I also think it can make you worse at programming. **Those t...

Read articleHi, devs! I'm back. I wish I could return with a major success, a discovery, or a new achievement, but no - I gave up on programming for a while. I burned out. Then again, I'm not saying this for the first time (1/2 of the articles are about this), so it's hardly surprising anymore 🤣 What caused i...
Read articleThe honest constraint behind everything I build is that there is one of me. A portfolio of sites doesn't care about that. Each one wants features, fixes, content, and maintenance, and the naive way to run several at once is to context-switch between them until nothing gets real attention. So I stopp...
Read articleAI can now write the feature. Then AI can write the tests. Then AI can open the pull request. Then AI can review the pull request. Then AI can fix the review comments. And finally, a developer clicks: **Approve.** That workflow sounds incredibly efficient. It also creates a very uncomfortabl...
Read articleOpen your GitHub. Go on. Count the repositories that have a README, a clean commit that says `initial commit`, maybe a second one that says `wip`, and then… nothing. No third commit. No user who isn't you. No issue filed by a human you've never met. I'll wait. I count nine on mine. Nine little tom...
Read articleOne of the things I've always enjoyed about coding is getting completely locked into a problem. You know what you're building, each small obstacle leads to the next decision, and you stop noticing how much time has passed. With agentic coding, I don't always get that feeling. I can produce more cod...
