I give my coding agents direct access to important secrets, including my Tailscale auth key, SSH private keys, Anthropic and Codex OAuth tokens, and my Gmail app password.

I’ve worked closely with hundreds of programmers over decades.

Uber infamously runs thousands of microservices.

US residential proxies are the bane of the internet.

For over 20 years, the meditative focus of programming has been one of the best parts of my job.

The best coding model in the world is about to leave the Claude subscription, which rightly makes people nervous about affordable access to frontier models.

There is a common Silicon Valley saying that “being early is the same as being wrong”, which can be true but is usually misleading.

Qwen 3.6 27B (currently a popular model to run locally) ships on Hugging Face as 15 safetensors files totaling 56GB of BF16 floating point numbers, or as smaller quantized GGUF conversions.

With all the obvious caveats about historical accuracy, one of my favorite uses for AI image generation is recreating historical scenes I’ve read about and imagined in my head again and again.

Coding agents work by sending your prompt and files to a model’s API over HTTP and receiving generated code and tool calls in return, including Bash scripts that execute on your machine.

The Claude and Codex TUI coding agents both render a status line at the bottom of the interface.

The default assumption should be that foreign state actors have already exfiltrated the weights of Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol, the latest frontier models from Anthropic and OpenAI.

You add a DNS record.

SQLite is amazing Most developers already know SQLite is great.

In my previous post Serving 200 million requests per day with a cgi-bin, I did some quick performance testing of CGI using a program written in Go.

In the early 2000s, we used to write a lot of CGI programs.
