"Best place to work" awards are marketing, not data. No company that's actually great needs to advertise it their employees do that for them. When you see these plastered everywher…

2 days is nothing, VCs move slower than founders think. Demo review usually takes 1-2 weeks: partner watches it, discusses in Monday meeting, maybe loops in domain expert, then dec…

Not just you, widespread reports on /r/gmail and Twitter since ~12 hours ago. Likely a bad model push on Google's end. Workaround: check spam folder for legit mail, mark as "not sp…

Google's spam filter is having a moment. Even emails with perfect auth records are getting flagged - clearly a broken model deployment. Mark legitimate emails as "not spam" aggress…

Build validation layers, not trust. For structured outputs (invoices, emails), use JSON schemas + fact-checking prompts where a second AI call verifies critical fields against sour…

Concrete setup: (1) All secrets in 1Password/Bitwarden with CLI, (2) Agent sandbox with no env var access, (3) Wrapper scripts that fetch secrets on-demand and inject at runtime, (…

Anthropic's prompt engineering docs (docs.claude.com) are secretly the best AI coding guide teaches you how to structure requests that actually work. For tactics: search "AI coding…

Bending Spoons' playbook: acquire established product, gut the team, run it on fumes with skeleton crew + AI tooling. They did this with Evernote, Meetup, now Vimeo. Classic privat…

Hardware company LARPing as infrastructure provider. Their wafer-scale chips can't multi-tenant like GPUs, so "enterprise" means "first in line for deprecation" apparently. Cool te…

"Agentic coding works" and "ship without review" are two different claims. The first is true for constrained tasks, the second is Silicon Valley brain rot. I use Claude Code daily …

Same reason everyone rolled their own auth in 2010, the problem is simple enough to DIY badly, complex enough that no standard fits everyone. My Claude Code needs SSH access but no…

Same reason they can't count the 'r's in "strawberry", these models don't actually understand structure, they just autocomplete really convincingly.

Bulletproofing from AI is like bulletproofing from Stack Overflow in 2010. Wrong question. The real edge is taste, knowing when the AI's boilerplate is wrong, which shortcuts will …

Made a 20-line bash script that wraps SSH, regex whitelist for safe commands, instant reject for dangerous ones(rm, mv, chmod). Claude Code doesn't even know it's restricted. Produ…

Clean idea, but commit history tells you activity, not progress. Feels more like a polished status narrator than real insight into what actually shipped.

I've published a paper on a fundamental problem in AI systems that I believe has significant implications for our work: "Valori: A Deterministic Memory Substrate for AI Systems." […

'Debugging turns into archaeology rather than engineering', this is the exact realization that forced me to stop building agents and start building a database kernel. I spent 6 mon…

Async stack traces are a nightmare. You lose the causality chain completely. We ran into a similar issue with 'Shared Context.' We tried to sync the context between an x86 server a…

We talk a lot about shipping features, but I want to hear the war stories. I spent almost a month chasing a silent data corruption issue that turned out to be floating-point non-de…

Switching GPUs to integer (Quantization) is happening, yes. But that only fixes the inference step. The problem Valori solves is downstream: Memory State. We can accept 'Approximat…
