Writing software with AI is a really different experience than writing it by hand.

This is a cool example of the kind of problem that Clojure makes so much simpler to solve.

AI is everywhere now and most people hate that, at least in the West.

One of my summer jobs in university was working in an analytical chemistry lab.

I think a lot about what the future will look like.

I can now hand much of the mechanical work to an AI coding tool, then spend my time fixing the interesting parts.

This was a great piece about what’s going on with fly.io.

It's difficult to find reasonable, pragmatic takes on using coding agents these days.

I was recently fixing up the feeds on my website and wanted to make sure a) that they render probably and b) that the filtered ones contain the correct entries, so I built this little tool to preview atom or rss feeds. tool / tools.kirahowe.com (source) /…

This was a pretty scathing indictment of the tech industry but I think on point.

This is the best “AI usage” policy I’ve seen yet.

I apparently can’t hold a conversation with a friend, post on social media, or even daydream idly without the topic eventually turning to bloody A.I.

I was excited to see that this is the first module in a new Coursera course I'm doing.

Well this is awkward.

Maybe I’m just too cynical but it’s really starting to feel like more or less all of this new “AI”/agent software is vapourware.

I finally got around to getting my website back up and running.

It feels like the big LLMs have come full circle.

I’d never heard about this conference before, the talks look super interesting.

This is a great write up about how Airbnb ships AI features that actually work.

I've been hearing more and more things about jujutsu and want to try it out.
