Ai coding is interesting... The different LLMs are really quite different when it comes to how they work and what they will do well. Gemini pro has proven to be best at all rounder but O3 still seems to win at actually solving the hard problems. Claude is still the best at

I'm still surprised by what code AI can and can't get right... Over $50 of high end credits later, Cursor can't seem to clean up even fairly basic css issues. Claude 4 is comically bad at C... O3 on the other hand is fairly good, but unusable in Cursor because of the cost

We used to have 47 tabs open in the year 2005, on computers thousands of times weaker than what is being sold today, and it was mostly fine. x.com/Dell/status/19…

After a few weeks and a frightening number of AI tokens later, I'm binning Typescript and CSS and with a few hours and a bit of imgui, but I've actually got a working node editor that happens to compile to the browser if I want....

While chatting at the dinner table about holograms and other wierd physics, my five year old askes "what color is gravity?" so I ask you : what color should gravity be?

Still deep in the weeds building a toy distributed data platform in @ZigLang—playing with consensus, global ordering, and fault tolerance. The learnings? The theory (CAP, Paxos, Raft) promises clean tradeoffs, but reality doesn’t. Churning nodes, churning producers, agents that

Continuing on in my TigerBeetle inspired Zig data toy, it's the #kafka API, and getting this working with kcat & librdkafka. The kafka API is a masterpiece of moving complexity in the client and the protocol vs making an intelligent broker. The brokers are still plenty

Gpt5 launched, & yesterday I spent some time with it. Honestly it's good, but it's not a big leap. It's not really blown me away on anything spesific but a definite win so far is in protocol specs. Next I'm going to try it with some game Dev & shaders. Biggest upside is it's

I'm speaking at #current25 in #newOrleans around moving microservices into flink! There will be demos, there will be (bad) jokes!

One of the common issues with writing a project in Zig is when you run into a missing library that doesn't have a clean C implementation you can just import. Today it's http/2 and gRPC. Don't get me wrong, I don't like gRPC at all, but needs must...
