After a few months of suboptimal availability due to various commitments (Final Fantasy XIV Ultimate, root canals, vacation), I’m finally back for a limited time to do some coding and stuff!

From a brilliant longtime AI insider with intimate access to the world of Sam Altman’s OpenAI from the beginning, an eye-opening account of arguably the most fateful tech arms race in history, reshaping the planet in real time, from the cockpit of the com…

After a pretty long time not doing much except critiquing AI sentiments and complaining about Final Fantasy XIV, I’m finally back with some more comp-sci nonsense.

We are so back!

In Retrospect June was a month that mostly revolved around fulfilling obligations, in no small part to ensure the rest of the summer is more chill.

As previously hinted at, in this blog post I’m discussing the Final Fantasy XIV encounter Dancing Mad (Ultimate) from a mechanical, technical, and narrative perspective.

This past month, Final Fantasy XIV has taken up a large amount of my free time, due to the release of the new raid Dancing Mad (Ultimate).

Sacred artists follow a thousand Paths to power, using their souls to control the forces of the natural world.

Jason Schreier’s groundbreaking reporting has earned him a place among the preeminent investigative journalists covering the world of video games.

Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty.

I usually get pretty annoyed when I see yet another vibe-coded aesthetic web blog post with scroll fade and tiny monospace text (and don’t get me wrong; there is 100% some Claude-adjacent design in this website).

Recently, I’ve been a bit annoyed with the lack of premium software on Linux, not least when it comes to the arts, CAD, video- and photo editing, and AI tooling.

The other day, someone from the bio analytics team at my work asked us if we, the IT team, ever talk about “non IT topics” at work, like what we did over the weekend.

I kinda wanted to advance my coding projects some more before making another LLM rant post, but it feels like an ever-growing “double or nothing” gambit is encroaching on Silicon Valley, and as always, I have strong opinions.

Since this is another “vibe-coded” tool and because of my stance of not taking credit for AI-generated content, I’ll publish this only as a thought instead of an article, but I still think it’s pretty neat and might give you some inspiration and act an in…

As of yesterday, I’ve finished syndication of Vanilla.sh to various indie web aggregators.

Over the past few months, on tech showcase websites like HackerNews, certain Subreddits, and even GitHub (since it now has its own little “social media” implementation), new projects keep popping up with suspiciously clean syntax, elaborate fun READMEs wi…

The other week, I was yapping to Claude about some hobby-related topic, when suddenly… Opus thinks it only has 10.000 tokens left in a fresh conversation.
