Actionable strategies and thoughts on how small businesses can leverage modern technology to scale efficiently.
I had a lot of work to get through, and for once I didn't want to crawl through it one ticket at a time. I knew Claude Code could run a few sessions in parallel, so my first thought was just to turn a couple of agents loose on different things at once. But then I hit my actual hangup: I ...

Is this actually important, and do I need to learn it as a frontend or fullstack developer? I spent some time with it and ...

It does exactly one thing: you drop little bombs anywhere on a webpage, and the text near the blast gets physically blown apart, letter by letter. It is completely useless. It is also genuinely satisfying when you're stressed. {% embed https://www.y...
Read articleThere’s a specific moment that happens at every single hackathon. It’s usually around 2 or 3 a.m., when the free energy drinks are completely gone, the demo is still half-broken, and someone on your team leans back in their folding chair and asks: "Wait... can we actually ship this? Do we still have...
Read articleI have been writing a lot about AI lately, but this one is more personal than usual. Not a tutorial, not a hot take on some new model - just something I have been sitting with for a few weeks now. Let's start from the beginning. A few weeks ago I was scrolling Twitter at around midnight, the way yo...
Read articleyou probably didn't think about this when you signed up. you entered your card details, verified your phone number, maybe uploaded a government ID and took a selfie. friction. annoying. you moved on. somewhere in cambodia or kenya, someone did the same thing. except they weren't signing up for cla...
Read articleThe three-layer model works. Part 1 of this series is the invoice incident that proved it. Part 2 is the proxy.ts matcher gaps that fail silently. Part 3 is the mutation-layer auth check that gets skipped even when everything else looks solid. My kit implements this in Route Handlers rather than Ser...

Read articleWe (at DEV and MLH) are covering AI Engineer's World Fair by printing a physical newspaper called "The Daily Context" everyday of the conference. We wanted to include a game in each issue so for today's first edition, we published a little word search affectionately named "Vector Search": , I’m looking forward to having my mind blown. That being said, I’m also compelled to think deeply about how we actually get things done in today’s software development landscape. There is competitive pres...

My non-tech friends still don’t _get it_. Despite what you’d believe from Twitter, most people still haven’t seen the magic of AI. They don't use agents. They aren't tokenmaxxing. Most aren't really using AI at all, and if they are, it's a glorified search engine replacement. I couldn’t be more d...
