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..

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..

Deeper theories of program design

A sharp teardown ofWindows vs. Unix file deletion semanticslands on this: Windows leans on read-write locks; Unix rolls with a looser, non-blocking vibe—more likeweakly-isolated DB transactions. It trades consistency for concurrency, dodging locks even if it means the rules get fuzzy. The post zoom..

How I Use Claude Code to Ship Like a Team of Five

Claude Code zips out Ruby functions, tests, and pull requests viaCLIprompts across multiplegit worktrees. It slays manual typing and ejects IDE plugins. It spins up ephemeraltest environmentsto replay bugs, pries open externalgemcode, and syncs branches, commits, and PRs in one go...

The Big LLM Architecture Comparison

Architectures since GPT-2 still ride transformers. They crank memory and performance withRoPE, swapGQAforMLA, sprinkle in sparseMoE, and roll sliding-window attention. Teams shiftRMSNorm. They tweak layer norms withQK-Norm, locking in training stability across modern models. Trend to watch:In 2025,..

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...

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...

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 ..

Tiny Agents in Python: a MCP-powered agent in ~70 lines of code

A new demo walks through buildingTiny Agents in Python—just ~70 lines using theModel Context Protocol (MCP). No boilerplate. Just clean LLM-to-tool hookups with standardized agent configs. Agents plug into multiple MCP servers out of the box—from local filesystems to Playwright browsers—and handle ..
