I ended up creating a personal vim plugin for merges one night because of a frustrating merge experience and never being able to remember what is what. It presents just two diff pa…

My experience with qwen3.5 9b has not been the same. It’s definitely good at agentic responses but it hallucinates a lot. 30%-50% of the content it generated for a research task (l…

There are several useful ways of engineering the context used by LLMs for different use cases. MCP allows anybody to extend their own LLM application's context and capabilities usi…
