Why I chose OCaml as my primary language

OCaml’s grown up. Multicore support is in. So are user-defined effects. Under the hood, affine types, staged metaprogramming, and effect typing are steering it toward resource-safe programming—with actual thrust. Its type system still slaps: powerful modules, GADTs, algebraic types, and now first-c.. read more

Git Branching Strategies: A Comprehensive Guide

This guide breaks down the major Git branching strategies—GitFlow,GitHub Flow,GitLab Flow,Trunk-Based Development, and a few others that still show up in wild repos. Each one gets sized up by structure, use case, and trade-offs. Think: how big the team is, how fast releases go out, and how people l.. read more

The great SQLite rewrite

Turso just dropped the alpha of itsRust-based SQLite rethink—rewritten from scratch to handle today’s mess:async APIs,built-in vector search, and actualconcurrent writes. Forget the old SQLite playbook. Turso’s version leans into modularity, bakes in deterministic tests, and still aims for SQLite-l.. read more

Ship tools as standalone static binaries

OpenAI’s rewritingCodexinRust, ditching the oldTypeScriptversion. Why? To ship it as a single static binary—no messy installs, no glue code juggling. Just run. Rust cuts down runtime failures, trims the attack surface, and kills off toolchain sprawl. Less fragility. More control. System shift:Team.. read more

AI Agents and Test Suites: Lessons from the Trenches

AI agents can help wrangletest suite maintenance—if you treat them likejunior devs. That means tight prompts, clear boundaries, and someone keeping an eye on them. Teams get better results when they feed agents sharp context and task them with small, scoped jobs instead of vague laundry lists... read more

MCP Vulnerabilities Every Developer Should Know

MCP’s blowing up across platforms—but the security? Still sketchy. Think tool description injection. Botched OAuth. Open doors to supply chain attacks. The new MCP 2025-06-18 spec tries to clean house (no token passthrough, mandatory user consent), but most real-world setups either drag their feet .. read more

Context Engineering for AI Agents: Lessons from Building Manus

Failures make great teachers—especially for LLMs. Stuffing failed attempts right into the prompt helps agents recalibrate. It nudges their internal priors, cuts down on repeat mistakes, and sparks smarter behavior... read more

Building AI Products In The Probabilistic Era

Modern AI broke the rulebook. By spitting outstochastic outputs from unbounded inputs, it flipped software dev from a game of precision to one of probability. Old tools—funnels, SLO dashboards, crisp A/B tests—don’t quite fit anymore. They were built for systems that behaved. Today’s AI stacks mov.. read more
