The goal wasn't to build something useful. It was to take the magic out of "self-improving agent harness" by writing the smallest readable version of one.
I feel there is spectrum between vibe coding and agentic engineering, which I like to refer to as Outcome Driven Development (ODD). Agentic engineering is using agents but evaluating its
I’ve been primarily using Claude Code. The recent launch of DeepSeek V4 and GPT 5.5, has made me realize the importance of having an open coding harness that
Good article describing CRI (Color Rendering Index). Living in the Pacific Northwest, past winters I've been thinking of how to improve SAD by using better lighting. This article
Coding agents have a tendency to make all experiences be alike. Using them to push UX is more of something we should do as experimentation is now a lot cheaper.
I've been thinking about AI-generated tests and the friction around them. AI can generate a lot of tests, but figuring out which ones are "good" requires
Unlock home GPU power for cloud workloads with Tailscale and Docker. I demo a simple architecture that tunnels requests to your local rig, skipping pricey cloud GPUs. All ports stay hidden, ensuring a tight, cost-effective environment.
DeepSeek-R1 uses cost-effective Reinforcement Learning to unlock emergent reasoning. By rewarding correct, verifiable steps, it refines logic and answers—showcasing how systematic feedback can reduce data needs and boost performance. Here I discuss my understanding from research paper.
Struggling to finish side projects due to limited time? In my latest blog post, I share how I improved my productivity using AI tools like LLMs and Cursor IDE. Learn to refine specs, bootstrap code, and iterate effectively to rapidly build and deploy your projects—even with a busy schedule.

Discover how to create a synthetic dataset, select the right metrics for evaluation, and fine-tune your model using LoRA for a narrow scenario. Plus, learn how to serve your model efficiently using LLaMa.cpp on Mac/Linux.
Learn how to use Python with Supabase for web development for all your AI/LLM backend needs. Create a secure Python service that validates JWT tokens from Supabase and integrates with Next.js.
Onboarding remote Software Engineers can be challenging. Here are some suggestions from my experience of onboarding multiple engineers remotely to make them become part of team.
I recently built findvaccinefor.me [https://findvaccinefor.me] which gets data from WA state sources such as vaccinelocator.doh.wa.gov [http://vaccinelocator.doh.wa.gov] and prepmod.doh.wa.
Introduction on debugging in Python Jupyter notebooks with examples in Google Colab using ipdb.
Solve the problem of dependency creep and add boundaries to your TypeScript project to limit what is exported and imported from a package.
Managing big apps have its own problems and one of them is managing imports. Typescript allows you to have path aliases which makes it easier to refer to modules. In this tutorial we will see how we can use path aliases in React Native app created using Expo and Typescript.
I had to setup few instances of MongoDB in DigitalOcean [https://m.do.co/c/1fe978d3b5b4] but I also wanted to make them secure using TLS/SSL. One way would
Imagine a world where a software is maintaining millions of dollars worth of money, but there is an exploit which allows the hacker to take all that money away. Now
What are Libraries in Solidity You might have heard of the DRY principle (don't repeat yourself). It is very essential in large programs to have the ability to
Typescript has a type system which provides more capabilities than the type system in C# and Java. The one that I found to be very useful is the union type
Interface in Typescript is used to tell the compiler what the shape of the JS object should look like. It is a compile time construct hence it will not have
Whenever I start a project I tend to have a continuous build and deployment pipeline setup as it makes the development and testing a lot more easier. In this tutorial
