A visual introduction to big O notation.

A couple weeks ago I went heads-down and experimented with a new development model. The results were unexpected: a production-ready application, ~800 commits, and 100+ PRs in a single week. The core idea was to stop coding linearly and instead manage a swarm of ~20 parallel AI agents. This required building a custom parallelization tool, […]

There are a lot of important and real opportunities at hand, but I find that many of these conversations

Sort of like saying that your company could be much better if you merely adopted more software. That’s certainly true,

Text-based user interfaces (TUIs) have gained significant popularity in recent years.

Having kids is weird. Here are these human beings, with their own interests, likes and dislikes, and absolutely no knowledge. I mean yes, over time they build up experiences, but they start out wit…

Coding has been the strongest use case. But a new study from METR just dropped.

An image for the Raspberry Pi 4 with ROS 2 and Linux RT preinstalled - ros-realtime/ros-realtime-rpi4-image

We asked 12 CTOs and CEOs what skill they now prioritize when hiring developers because of AI. Their answers validate what experienced developers suspected all along.
