Our 80-minute workshop at AI Engineering London on building Claude Code skills that are portable, executable, and composable. Constraints over instructions, evidence over guesses, measurement over vibes.

Seeing the smoke from the May 3, 2026 fire in Belleville, New Jersey, from across the river in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Why This Matters in the Era of Agentic Everything The gap between a Jira ticket and the first pull request (PR) is often a graveyard of productivity. Context switching, boilerplate setup, and requirement analysis can eat up hours of a senior engineer's day before they write a single line of business logic. Recently, industry leaders have showcased "Harness Engineering" [ 1 ][ 2 ] — the practice of building autonomous agent workflows that h....

Monolithic views are the most common issue in SwiftUI codebases, especially among inexperienced developers. While the declarative nature of SwiftUI makes it possible to quickly put together complex user interfaces, it also makes it easy to create massive view bodies that soon become unmaintainable. In this article, we will see how to modularize your code ... Read more The post 3 Key Strategies to Make SwiftUI Views More Reusable appea..


Amazon WorkSpaces now lets AI agents securely operate legacy desktop applications—without APIs or modernization—using IAM authentication, MCP support, and computer vision within existing security frameworks.

Hello everyone! I'm trying to identify a very old Android Bitcoin wallet application that was active around 2012 (or even earlier). The app has a Chinese interface. If anyone recognizes this wallet or knows its name (possibly a Chinese app from that era), I would be extremely grateful. Thank you in advance!


Meta: New AI measures to identify teens. Meta will use AI to scan photos and videos and detect people’s height and bone structure in order to place teenagers in age-appropriate experiences. Meta says this isn’t facial recognition, as if analyzing bone structure were somehow better. The technology is coming to Brazil and EU, starting with […]

Ink Inside is a stylized 2D hand-drawn action roguelite that takes place within the literal pages of a discarded sketchbook. You play as Stick, a simple doodle who awakens to find the sketchbook being attacked by a mysterious, oily sludge that is erasing the world and its inhabitants. You are on to a quest to save the world and its drawings from the sludge, across various biomes. What’s unique about this game is that it did not start as a g..

Excerpt By 2024, Slack’s data platform had accumulated 700+ SSH-based operators orchestrating critical data pipelines. We’re talking daily search indexing that processed terabytes of data, analytics jobs powering business intelligence, the whole shebang. Every single one of these jobs required direct SSH access to production AWS Elastic MapReduce (EMR) clusters. We had a massive security…

AI coding tools might have handed your developers a productivity gain, but they’ve created a problem for your code review process. Pull request volume is up significantly, and the code arriving for review carries error patterns that weren’t common before generative AI. Yet it’s the same people with the same working hours who are in […]

April flew by. The pace of tech development didn’t slow, and the flow of news and knowledge didn’t either. This month, Emily Bache joins us to share some sharp finds about AI agents and test-driven development. Java stays busy with fresh updates and practical tips, and Kotlin keeps pushing forward right next to it. The […]


I still remember the bookstore. I was holding a 600-page brick of a book on how to build Windows applications, trying to convince my mother that I really  needed it. This was 1994 or 1995. A book was how you learned to program at that time. You took it home, you read it cover to cover, you typed the examples by hand, and somewhere along the way, the ideas sank in. From there, the tools for learning kept evolving. Printed books gave way to....

One does not collect such souvenirs. but some time in 1970. I think. a copy of the Economist [in the old larger page size] tumbled into my lap. I was sitting in a [partly busted] rattan chair in Bangkok. during my youth. The cover of this magazine reproduced a panel from some lively old war (…)



AI product development is a moment where bold ideas meet real-world values, turning product concepts into real products. If you're curious about the ways in which diversified teams choose the most appropriate ideas to transform product development cycle and convert them into measurable business impact, you're in the right place.



Many years ago I bought 10 LED juggling balls from Oddballs in the UK. At the time, the special they had on was pretty good for bulk orders, but even today the balls are pretty cheap, if a bit basic (11 Pounds UK). The balls, being cheap, did not last. They have replacable batteries and … Continue reading "Upgrading cheap LED Juggling Balls" The post Upgrading cheap LED Juggling Balls appeared first on Circus Scientist .


Long day today, but managed to fix all the integration tests that had broken during the latest refactor. It‘s nice to finish the day with the latest build running smoothly. I had to re-record all the test fixtures, but that‘s been made a lot easier following recent changes I made. Previously I had to create all the test mocks by hand, which was really laborious and error prone, but now it‘s all automatic. Anyway, nice to have some progress ..

Gateway API is what Ingress should have been from day one. I don’t say that lightly. I’ve spent years wrangling Kubernetes Ingress resources, writing controller-specific annotations, and debugging routing issues that only existed because the Ingress spec was too simple for real-world traffic management. Gateway API fixes nearly every complaint I’ve ever had, and if you’re still running pure Ingress in production, it’s time to start planni..

A practical breakdown of the agentic stack — MCP, Skills, Hooks, AGENTS.md, and Context Engineering — what each one does and where to start.

We'll spend some time going through most of the options, in the end you'll have confidence to set up a system to your liking.

Elastic 9.4 makes Elastic the context and retrieval layer of choice with Agent Builder enhancements and Workflows GA while native Prometheus support and TSDB improvements make Elastic Observability the best platform for logs, metrics, and traces.
