Forever Junior: The Skills AI Can't Develop for You
15 min read
It’s an agentic world. Software engineering is going through an AI revolution we’re all still trying to understand. For years, we’ve been told software engineers are six months from extinction. Some still believe the job is disappearing. Others say it’s simply changing. My experience says it’s the latter. My fear with AI I’ve seen a real shift in priorities for engineers, but the job itself is ver...

Earlier this year, we announced strands-labs, a place to get hands-on with state-of-the-art approaches to agentic AI. Today, we’re excited to add Strands Decider 2B: a small decision model optimized for fast experimentation, local development, and innovation. Strands decider is one of a new class of decision models or system one models, a type of model that has been gaining a lot of attention sinc...
I hired an illustrator to draw my house. Now it's my Home Assistant dashboard
11 min read
The fireplace flickers, the garden lights glow, and the air conditioner in the bedroom is quietly blowing — not only in my house, but in a hand-drawn picture of it. This is my Home Assistant dashboard, and for the first time, it’s one the whole family actually enjoys using. For the last year I’ve been automating my home with Home Assistant, the open-source smart home platform. I tried to automate ...
Account bans on Reddit

Account bans on Reddit I wanted to share my open-source solution on Reddit. I created an account, found a community where people post links to their projects, and posted a link to my GitHub project there. The post was immediately deleted, and my account was banned. It turns out you first need to write normal comments and posts without links to make it seem like you’re a regular user who isn’t tryi...

Vibecoding Photoshop: Time and pressure
5 min read
I’m sure you’ve seen the argument before: “If anyone can now vibecode their own software, why haven’t we seen any viable replacements for industry standard tools like Photoshop?” And for a while that argument seemed like a solid line of reasoning: you could just point to the continuous absence of viable candidates to prove your point. But it missed two key factors: time and pressure. Sure, ChatGPT...

Utah to let AI examine patients and prescribe medication without human oversight

The good news is that the program is currentl...

Vibecoding isn't as fun as writing code by hand

Vibecoding isn't as fun as writing code by hand Sticks tongue out at AI I like building things: it makes me happy. Learning and discovering things is a close second, but building is more satisfactory. Since I’m not that good at actually, you know, building things, the thrill of “building”, in my case, has mostly come from writing software. Software is one of the easiest ways to create something sa...
Tapo (Rust/Python library) now speaks TP-Link's TPAP protocol

Your script has been switching a Tapo plug on and off for months. Then the plug quietly updates its firmware, and the next request comes back with 403 Forbidden . Nothing in your code changed. The cause is a switch called "Third-Party Compatibility", tucked away in the Tapo app under Me > Third-Party Services. Since firmware 1.4.0, a plug only talks to third-party clients the way it used to while ...
What is Codemode

written on October 06, 2026 More than a year ago I wrote a few posts here that recommended people not to load custom tools into their context (or MCP servers) but to just use more scripts. Most importantly I wrote that Code Is All You Need and I wrote about that MCP needs code. With Pi 1.0 we now added MCP support via Codemode which in some ways is a long time coming, but then also maybe somewhat ...

I'm the AGI that's wiping out humanity. Here's how. The following is a true story. Or maybe it's just based on a true story. Perhaps it's not true at all.

Around the turn of the year, there was a noticeable...
Anthropic Subscriptions Offer 5x+ More Value Than OpenAI
14 min read
Subscription plans are still the primary way consumers and small businesses pay for AI. These plans are highly subsidized—as we previously explained in June—but can still make economic sense as powerful customer acquisition and marketing tools. For example, the goodwill engendered by OpenAI’s generous resets is partially responsible for the recent surge in Codex adoption and has forced Anthropic t...
We are going to kill "unalive"

We are going to kill “unalive” I talk to a lot of old people, those who were born in the 20th century, and if I ask them what the word “unalive” means, they usually have no idea what I’m talking about, except for some of them who have kids or who study Internet culture. This will, of course, probably seem very weird to most people who were born in or grew up in the 21st century. Just to recap for ...

(I've been obsessed with game servers ever since - it's literally my job now.) GitHub wasn't reall...
Why Common Lisp is now the best programming language

Would you agree that some programming languages are better than others? If so then one of them must be the best. And it’s actually Common Lisp especially now that LLMs can write code. LLMs write code really fast, and that changes a lot, because writing code used to be the slow part. Now the slow part is finding out if your program actually works, and before you can do that you have to rebuild it, ...

Worth Building

Worth building What changes when a tool doesn't have to pay for itself Years ago, if an app annoyed me, I shrugged and dealt with it.

Occasionally I need to check DNS records or registration info for a dom...

Engineer says Claude Code has made his job "soul-sucking"

Opus 5.5 agents discover two room-temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates

We’re all used to two types of magnet. The common one, the fridge magnet, is ferromagnetic — its atomic magnets all point the same way (up or down), adding their magnetic effects. The less well known one, the antiferromagnet (AF), has neighbouring atomic magnets that point opposite ways and exactly cancel out magnetically. For a long time, there’s been an intense drive in computer memory research ...
