OpenMontage: what it does, and where it does not

OpenMontage is an open source project you can run yourself today. This is a look at what it does, how to get it going, and the situations where reaching for it would be a mistake. What it actually does Turn your AI coding assistant into a full video production studio. Describe what you w

AI Development Rules Needed Regression Tests Too

I had already reached an uncomfortable conclusion: Giving an AI coding agent better instructions was not enough. So I started building repository-level governance around things like source-of-truth ownership, review behavior, evidence, scope, and lifecycle. The repository became more consistent.

Beyond Clean Architecture: The Iceberg Pattern for Real-Time Flutter Apps with BlocSignal

Why Traditional Clean Architecture Stalls in Real-Time Cloud Apps Most enterprise Flutter tutorials preach Uncle Bob's Clean Architecture or classic BLoC layering. They show neat diagrams with concentric circles: Presentation, Use Cases / Interactors, Repositories, and Data Sources. Yet nearly ev

Stencil My Tattoo: Turning Tattoo References into Printable Stencil Drafts with AI

Designing a tattoo is not only about finding a beautiful reference image. The harder part is turning that reference into something a tattoo artist can actually work with: clear linework, a readable silhouette, and a composition that can be tested before it reaches the skin. That is the problem I am

Crontab syntax basics, and how it differs from WP-Cron

"What does */5 * * * * actually mean?" — anyone setting up a scheduled task on a server has probably stared at that row of asterisks at some point. If you run WordPress, you may already be familiar with inspecting WP-Cron's internals through WP-CLI, but the actual crontab syntax used by the OS itsel

I built EasyResume AI — a simple resume builder, ATS checker, and cover letter generator. Looking for honest feedback.

Hey everyone! 👋 I've been working on a side project called EasyResume AI, and it's now live on Peerlist. The idea came from a simple problem: job applications involve a lot of repetitive work. You create your resume, try to understand whether it matches a specific job description, and then write a t

Lenexus wants to map everything that could take your business down

Some ideas feel obvious in hindsight, but nobody had really executed them well until now. Lenexus, a platform built by MJ Corp, is one of those: map every system, supplier, person and AI a company depends on into a single living graph, so you can finally answer the question most organizations strugg

I'm 12. I'm hosting a 3-day online coding festival from my phone. Here's the schedule.

Two weeks ago my Code Jam got zero submissions because I buried it inside a chat app. So I rebuilt it as a standalone platform. Now I'm going bigger: KODA Online Fest 2026 — a 3-day coding festival, hosted entirely from a POCO C55 in Tamil Nadu. Sept 12–14. 🎪 THE THREE TRACKS 🏆 TRACK 1

Are We Becoming AI Managers Instead of Developers?

I've been doing front-end development for somewhere around 20 years now. During that time, I've watched the job change over and over again. New frameworks. New languages. New tooling. New ways of building and deploying software. But I don't think I've ever had to adapt as quickly as I have over the

We Built Kolaboratr Because Finding the Right People to Build With Shouldn’t Be This Hard

There’s a pattern we keep seeing across indie development and creative communities. One person posts: “I have a project, but I need an artist.” A programmer says: “I’m looking for a team.” A writer is looking for something worth joining. A composer wants a real project to score. A designe

7 AWS Resources That Could Be Quietly Increasing Your Cloud Bill

AWS makes it incredibly easy to provision infrastructure. Sometimes, a little too easy. An EC2 instance gets created for a project. A volume survives after the instance is terminated. A snapshot is kept "just in case." A development environment runs all night even though nobody is using it. Indiv

Ollama's -cloud suffix isn't a label, it's a silent instruction. I bypassed it.

I'm 12. My Code Jam got zero submissions. So I built a platform for it.

I Tested Q4_K_M vs MXFP4 on the Same Laptop — The Supposedly-Faster New Format Lost

I tested two local LLMs in two different quantization formats on the same laptop, on the same prompt, three trials each. The result is the opposite of what the marketing says: the supposedly-faster new format lost by 1.8x. Q4_K_M (the older integer-based format) hit 4.7 tokens/second and finished a

Hermes Bytecode and the Cold-Start Budget: Engineering Time-to-Interactive as a Product Requirement

How We Doubled Our Cache Hit Rate When Pre-Warming Wasn’t Enough

Quick question. If you run a voice agent, do you know your prompt cache hit rate on turn 1? Not the average across the call. Just turn 1, when the caller has said hello and is sitting in silence waiting for your agent to speak. We thought ours was fine. We pre-warm before every call, like everyone

What if your AI assistant had two minutes of free time?如果你的AI助手有两分钟的空闲时间，会怎样？

A few weeks ago I was talking with Claude about whether a model could have anything like a belief, and what it would take. Its answer was that tool use is the most underrated piece: a tool is the first thing that can tell a model "no" where the "no" does not come from a human. Run some code, and the
