On January 15th 2026, Robert Jenrick broke my election site. Okay, that’s slightly hyperbolic. The site continued to operate, and it would be fairer to say that the actions of Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick exposed a flaw in the data modelling in my site. For those readers who don’t follow UK politics, two events … Continue reading Election 2029: Models and Reality →

The AI train has left the station. Some of us are on board, generating entire modules from specs. Others are still on the platform debating whether the train is even real. Four smart people wrote about this shift this past week. They all agree on what it means. And I agree with them.

Hi, can folders / paths be specified in functionSignatures.json, for example to default to another path? "LoadInputFile": { "_description": "Load a text input file", "inputs": [ { "name": "filename", "kind": "optional", "type": "filepath=Folder2/Folder3/*.txt", "basePath": "C://Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/", "purpose": "some file is now loaded" } ] },

Andreas Kling has been working on his own operating system for six years and on a web browser for three years. Today, his work is overshadowed by what is supposedly a web browser made entirely with AI (now I remember that there is also an operating system made with AI called VibeOS). I can't believe that the browser is even half as functional. Creating the JavaScript engine and applying all the CSS rules is a complex task that, even with th....

How often have you heard about the speed of Python? What's actually being measured, where are the bottlenecks---development time or run time---and which matters more for productivity?

Working with LLMs means reviewing way more diffs than before. I discovered delta a while back and this was such a huge improvement to working in a terminal and having amazing syntax highlighting for diffs. If you spend significant time reviewing code...

We’ve all been there: debating a single word in an email or spending ages coming up with the name of a project or even a variable. We treat these choices like permanent, life-altering commitments when most are actually just “hats.”

I always use a timestamp as a postfix. Makes issues super easy to track. One time I did a deploy, and checked the service, and the deploy worked!... once. Then I reloaded the page, and the page was wrong, it was an old version. Then I reloaded and the new version came back! I'd added a running service. If it was originally running version 1, and I deployed version 2: first load would return v1 page, 2nd load would take v2, then it..

I avoided asyncio for years. Callbacks, event loops, futures — it all felt like unnecessary complexity when threads worked fine. Then we had an API endpoint making 200 sequential HTTP calls to an upstream service. 45 seconds per request. We threw asyncio.gather at it and the whole thing dropped to 3 seconds. That was the moment it clicked. Python’s async story has matured enormously. What used to be a mess of yield from and manual loop ma..

Something that has been on my mind lately is the lack of visibility around messaging architectures. For example, if you’ve built REST APIs, you likely have OpenAPI specs that define your endpoints, schemas, and operations in YAML, and you get documentation, client generation, and contract testing for free. It’s become table stakes for HTTP APIs. But what about event-driven systems? When services communicate through Kafka topics and SQS queu..

Whether you’re prompting a large language model or asking a colleague for help, the quality of the context you provide is often the difference between getting what you want, or not. In other words, context engineering isn’t just for LLMs. It’s unreasonably effective with humans too. This post Context Engineering for Humans first appeared on Dan Stroot's Blog

Do you remember the story of Jacobo Árbenz. Árbenz was elected the president of Guatemala in 1950 and entered that office early in 1951. His primary policy and the focus of his presidency was agrarian reform. What this meant was that large sections of farmland that were currently not under cultivation were expropriated by the government and handed over to poor farm workers. To Americans this smacked of Communism and certainly there was a....
