why am I seeing a giant profile photo grid of their 300+ contributors?
who is andy bell and why am I supposed to care that he says Jekyll is dead to him?
and then there are a dozen+ other testimonials from people I’ve never heard of

Picked out a static site generator for setting up a blog
I was surprised at the visceral gut + heart rxns I had to the project home pages
Many of them didn’t sit right with me. Feeling like Goldilocks over here!

Yes! They can do amazing things, but you cannot use them naïvely (note dieresis) and expect anything good. If you can provide them with invariants, ways to test those invariants, and understand how, eg, context windows impact state management, they're awesome.

One of the new skills required to get the most out of AI-assisted coding tools - Claude Code, Codex CLI, etc - is designing agentic loops: carefully selecting tools to run in a loop to achieve a specified goal. Do this well and you can solve many coding problems with brute force!
Designing agentic loops
Coding agents like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex CLI represent a genuine step change in how useful LLMs can be for producing working code. These agents can now directly …

Modern LLMs (GPT-5.1, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3) produce excellent code and can be a significant productivity boost to software engineers who take the time to learn how to effectively apply them - especially if used with coding agent tools

Hard to overstate how nice a communal lab space is for one-off projects
testing an output pin… oh, there’s a resistor I can use as a pulldown
trying to guess what size screw will fit the servo… oh, there’s a kit of M2-M4 sizes

If you’re interested in 1960s relay computer circuits, take a look at this Minivac 601 Simulator I just released!
~2 years of work on and off. Simulating electricity wasn’t as easy as I originally thought :)
Cheers!

this looks very cool, i mean that genuinely, but tbh i bristle a bit seeing "local-first" used as a straw man here. of course if your server is the source of truth you can eliminate a lot of local-first complexity — the entire point of that complexity is to avoid a server-authoritative architecture!
I've built a new library that provides a local-first like experience but without the complexity. Count Cachula takes a different approach; it uses the Cache API, the stale-while-revalidate pattern, server-sent events and cache tags to give you the same full-sync experience.
Count Cachula - Local-first performance without the complexity
