Data-gathering doesn’t have to be memory-intensive. You can fit the world’s weather on a 9cm-square board, when you move the work to a web scraping API.

For the last 30 days, I did one thing almost exclusively: I built scraping systems with AI agents, from the ground up, across real targets, with real deadlines. Not prototypes designed to impress in a demo, not isolated experiments running against a toy website, but production-grade pipelines that needed to ship and keep running.

Step away from the screen for a second and look around. What do you see? Real people. Diverse bodies. Flaws, quirks, and genuine smiles. Now, unlock a teenager’s phone or turn on the television. What do they see? An elite, hyper-curated 0.1% of the most genetically blessed people on Earth—except they’ve also been Photoshopped, filtered, and smoothed out by AI.… read more “The Invisible Crisis Crushing Our Girls” The post The Invisi..

I've been running a series of conversations with developers at Zyte to understand what's actually changed in the way they work since LLMs showed up. Not the headlines. The day-to-day. What they delegate, what they don't, what they notice, what surprises them. This one was different on two counts.

Speed-to-lead made sense when the lag was unavoidable. An AI Agent removes it. Here’s what that means for how you build, staff, and measure your sales org.

the next time you spin up a VPS to give it a persistent home, you spend the better part of an afternoon rebuilding from memory: installing Scrapy, wiring up Redis, configuring the systemd units, getting Playwright's Chromium dependencies in the right state. Here's a tool to help

Should you pursue something you enjoy, or something you’re good at? Which is more worthy? In Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop, a high school student asks this question to a character named Seungwoo who works as an employee at a big corporation and also writes a blog. Does this person enjoy work more, or writing […] The post The power of a supportive environment appeared first on Herbert Lui .

I have added several long conversational youtube videos into a playlist, hoping I’ll come back to the them some day, but in reality I never do that. Recently I found out that Spotify has released a new save-to-spotify CLI tool that lets you upload any audio file into your Spotify account as a private podcast episode. This is perfect for me, as I can download those youtube videos as audio files, upload them to Spotify, and listen to them ..

A recent industry retreat of senior engineering practitioners published their findings on where software development is heading. Reading it felt like someone had been reading my mind — and the minds of the people I follow online — and synthesized it all into one document. When a lot of people arrive at the same conclusions independently, that’s signal worth paying attention to. Here’s my take on each major theme.

Julia and I had been giving half since 2014 , but in 2025 we drew on our savings to donate 81%. It looks to us like we're in a critical window for keeping the introduction of very powerful AI systems from being disastrous , and we want to do what we can while we still can. Here's what that looks like in the context of our overall spending: table... Category pre-tax post-tax total Donations $0 $142,488 $142,....

I’m lucky enough to have a wife, two young children and a job as an AI Engineer at Notion. I’m also lucky enough to have a side project. Some weeks, I’ll get half an hour on my laptop to work on this side project. Most weeks, I won’t. Yet, I’ve averaged two commits to the project per day for the last three months. How? By building on my phone. But, really, by making it possible to build on my phone. The broad approach: encapsulated de....

The challenge Find the longest substring of a string where characters appear in non-decreasing alphabetical order . If two substrings share the maximum length, return the first one. Example: the longest alphabetical substring in "asdfaaaabbbbcttavvfffffdf" is "aaaabbbbctt" (length 11). Inputs can reach 10,000 characters, so the solution must be O(n). Solution 1: index tracking (fastest, O(1) memory) Track the current run with tw..

For a long time, engineering interviews had this unspoken rule: Close ChatGPT. Turn off Copilot. How dare you use AI to code! That's not real engineering. We're not doing that. If you're interviewing for an engineering role at Kogan.com, you can use AI. Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, whatever's already part of your workflow. Honestly, we'd rather see how you actually work with these tools. Why we changed it Our engineers use AI....

The challenge Given a lowercase string of letters (no spaces, no digits), return the length of the longest substring made only of vowels (aeiou). Examples: solve ( "codewarriors" ); // → 2 (the "io" in warriors) solve ( "suoidea" ); // → 3 (the "uoi") solve ( "aeioaexaeuoiou" ); // → 7 (the "aeuoiou") solve ( "bcd" ); // → 0 solve ( "a" ); // → 1 The Codewars Kata in the JavaScri..

It's a holiday in the US today, so we're reaching back into the archives. What we really need is a single function that can do it all, and by "it" we mean "ruin your life."

Then there're amalgamations of different types of bad code. Môshe encou....
