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 […]
Show HN: SplatHash – A lightweight alternative to BlurHash and ThumbHash
SplatHash encodes any image into exactly 16 bytes (a 22-char base64url string) and decodes it back to a 32×32 blurry preview in 0.067 ms. Go, TypeScript, and Python all produce bit-for-bit identical hashes. Columns: original · SplatHash 32×32 · ThumbHash · BlurHash. Regenerate: mise run compare. Go is the reference implementation. All others are verified […]

Rust Is Just a Tool
Rust is Just a Tool Blog Talks Contact 4 Feb 2026 I like Rust. It’s versatile enough that it can be used for application and systems programming. It has the best tooling of any language I’ve seen. It has a fairly pleasant type system. And I think most importantly it does a great job in […]
Cash issuing terminals
2026-02-27 In the United States, we are losing our fondness for cash. As in many other countries, cards and other types of electronic payments now dominate everyday commerce. To some, this is a loss. Cash represented a certain freedom from intermediation, a comforting simplicity, that you just don’t get from Visa. It’s funny to consider, […]
Don’t use passkeys for encrypting user data
Why am I writing this today? Because I am deeply concerned about users losing their most sacred data. Over the past year or two, I’ve seen many organizations, large and small, implement passkeys (which is great, thank you!) and use the PRF (Pseudo-Random Function) extension to derive keys to protect user data, typically to support […]
