Cognitive Debt: When Velocity Exceeds Comprehension
The engineer shipped seven features in a single sprint. DORA metrics looked immaculate. The promotion packet practically wrote itself. Six months later, an architectural change required modifying those features. No one on the team could explain why certain components existed or how they interacted. The engineer who built them stared at her own code like […]

Please do not use auto-scrolling content on the web and in applications
Some of us still remember the wild wild web of the previous millennium, with animated gifs and even dedicated HTML element called marquee – a very dynamic and moving visual medium where texts and images flied, mostly horizontally, but sometimes also totally randomly. It was funny for some people, but a potential disaster to others. […]
Show HN: Decided to play god this morning, so I built an agent civilisation
A computational ecosystem where autonomous agents evolve on a graph. No grids, no human-world assumptions — just a Watts-Strogatz small-world network, NEAT-style brains, and natural selection doing the teaching. Think of it as a digital petri dish: agents perceive, act, reproduce, and die. Their genomes evolve. Brains get more complex (or simpler, if that works […]

Timeline: Anthropic, OpenAI, and U.S. Government
Feb 28, 2026, 02:56 AM OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in classified network OpenAI strikes deal with Pentagon to supply AI to classified military networks. Altman says the same red lines at the heart of Anthropic’s dispute are enshrined in OpenAI’s new partnership: ”Two of our most important safety principles are […]
What AI coding costs you
Every developer I know uses AI for coding now. The productivity gains are real, but there are costs that don’t show up on any dashboard. Imagine a spectrum. On the far left are humans typing on the keyboard, seeing the code in the IDE. On the far right: AGI. It implements everything on its own. […]
Don’t trust AI agents
When you’re building with AI agents, they should be treated as untrusted and potentially malicious. Whether you’re worried about prompt injection, a model trying to escape its sandbox, or something nobody’s thought of yet, regardless of what your threat model is, you shouldn’t be trusting the agent. The right approach isn’t better permission checks or […]
