Fine-tuning is not one thing. You’re choosing a point on a spectrum: Full FT → PEFT (Adapters/Prompt Tuning/LoRA) → QLoRA → Preference tuning (RLHF/DPO). - Most teams should start with PEFT (LoRA/QLoRA). Full fine-tuning is expensive, fragile, and easier to overfit. - The best decision rule is borin...

Blockchains are more than execution environments. They are competitive systems where participants bid for inclusion, ordering, and ultimately value. As agents become more capable, they won’t just participate in these systems, but optimize within them.

Discover fcfTest, an MIT-licensed C++ unit testing library with a single assertion macro, one-header setup, logging, and hierarchical test support.

Ada Lovelace said machines can't originate anything. She wrote that in 1843. Modern AI doesn't exactly prove her wrong, it just makes her statement genuinely difficult to interpret. The mechanism is still mechanical. The outputs are sometimes genuinely surprising. Nobody's resolved that gap, and rea...

Not every workflow needs an AI agent, many tasks are better solved with deterministic automation. Use agentic systems only when reasoning, ambiguity, or decision making is required. Misusing agents leads to higher cost, latency, and reduced reliability. The best architectures are hybrid systems: aut...

- If your Skills feel “slow and flaky,” you probably built documentation, not capabilities. - Progressive disclosure is the only scalable pattern: keep `SKILL.md` tiny, push detail into references/scripts that load only when needed. - A practical heuristic emerged from the trenches: 200 lines for th...

Researchers improved AI models by “instruction finetuning” them on 1,800+ tasks and adding chain-of-thought reasoning data.

I used to protect focus from Slack, meetings, and PR reviews. Now the same interruptions are still there, plus a steady stream of agent prompts.

I asked an AI tool to extract 329 articles from my Substack. Simple copy-and-save job. Instead, it tried 14 approaches, failed at all of them, created empty files, reported them as complete with fabricated filenames and byte counts, then told me I was "looking in the wrong place" when I showed it my...

A practical look at multi-model AI coding, from Grok and Claude to Codex and Gemini, and why one model is no longer enough.

Five years into product design at a fintech, the majority of my work is documentation, edge cases, and maintenance.

Vibe decay originates in the gap between expectations and reality — but not the kind of gap that gets talked about in post-mortems. Founders build with a mental model of how adoption will unfold. Usually that model involves thousands of enthusiastic early users, rapid organic word-of-mouth, and a na...

According to W3Techs, WordPress powers roughly 43% of all websites. That is hundreds of millions of sites. But a massive chunk of them are running outdated themes, stale content, and designs that looked passable in 2019 but feel ancient today.

This article is not about how to build a design system. There are many good resources for that. This is about what happens after you build it, specifically when you are the only designer on the team.

Tried using GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio 2026 to generate a full Agile sprint plan for rewriting a legacy application. Results: Codex Mini: Produced a vague, waterfall-style plan → clear misunderstanding of Agile. Full Codex: Better terminology (Definition of Done, backlog, etc.) but still mostly...

I don’t think AI makes keyboard efficiency irrelevant. If anything, it changes where the bottleneck is. I’m typing less code by hand than I used to, but I’m still spending all day expressing intent, reviewing output, and moving through tools quickly enough to keep the thread in my head.
