636 Bytes: What Happens When You Stop Teaching RPA the Path
I sat in a room with a very large automation system and a very familiar problem: it had become fragile. The language came quickly. DOM. Timestamps.…
Parallel coding agents without the carnage
We build GPTree with several coding agents working the same repository at once: Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, each in its own git worktree. The fa…
🕊️ "Just F***ing use Go". On explicit insult & implicit snobbism, and why we must collectively change
Sometimes, the structural tensions within an industry come to a head and manifest as human conflicts: we must take a step back and recognize that vi…

Your codex exec is wasting ~900 ms per turn. I measured where.
I spent a weekend rebuilding the JavaScript harness of OpenAI's Codex CLI on Bun. I expected a runtime story. I got an architecture story — and one…
We nearly published a 2x regression that didn't exist
We were about to ship a performance write-up claiming three queries had gotten 2-4x slower. All three numbers were wrong, and the reason is one ever…
Proof-of-Antiquity vs Proof-of-Stake: Why Hardware Diversity Beats Wealth Concentration

When Python is Too Slow
Python is a perfect language for Agile development, where requirements might change on the go. Especially if you are in a startup business, you will…
Nova Pallas/Vesta in the kernel: how IONA OS does recursive proofs without trusted setup
Most blockchains verify transactions one by one. IONA Protocol verifies thousands at once — inside the kernel, using recursive SNARKs. I've been bui…
Oh-My-Pi's Hash-Anchored Edits: How a Terminal Agent Avoids the \\\\\\\"Replace Entire File\\\\\\\" Trap
Most coding agents fail at scale because they replace entire files when making small edits. One misaligned line number or stale context window and t…
