34+ min ago   (359+ words) Hiring full-time engineers is expensive and competitive, especially on a nonprofit, mission-driven budget.

The Reminder Queue Refills Only When You Open the App

43+ min ago   (650+ words) The bug report was one line from someone testing Lifemaxxing AI: "why did it tell me I got nothing done today, I did everything." He was right, and the notification was working exactly as written. Lifemaxxing AI is a habit…...

Six Checks to Run Before You Trust a Number Your Own Harness Produced.

55+ min ago   (1710+ words) I built a measurement harness. I found ten bugs in it. Every one made my results look better than they were, and not one was found by reading the code. Here is the checklist that came out of that. It…...

I pay an LLM to approve bad reviews

28+ min ago   (783+ words) Every trip report on my travel site goes through an LLM before readers see it. The most important line in that prompt is not about catching bad content. It is this one, verbatim: "Bad reviews" as in negative. The trip…...

AI Workflow Automation in WordPress: Where the 4WP Plugins Are Headed

1+ hour, 2+ min ago   (475+ words) I'm a believer in architectural approaches — OOP, SOLID, the Essential Principles, DRY — but never all of them, all at once. And nothing beats WordPress Hooks for me: Actions and Filters work small miracles. But today's list has a new entry:…...

I made an alternative to the archived filebrowser

1+ hour, 19+ min ago   (161+ words) The original filebrowser (github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser) has been archived for a while now, and Nextcloud is way too bloated for just browsing and sharing files on a disk. So I made my own replacement. It's still early so expect…...

Your AI Agent Has No Colleagues

1+ hour, 22+ min ago   (632+ words) "The coordination of the builders is not direct. It is the work already done that directs and triggers the work that follows." — Pierre-Paul Grassé, describing termites, 1959 You have seen this. Every agent framework does it:) Three attempts.

Code Dictator vs Wispr Flow vs Claude Code vs Copilot CLI: Free Voice Dictation for AI Coding in VS Code

1+ hour, 33+ min ago   (447+ words) Voice input for AI coding assistants got crowded fast in 2026. If you're picking a tool, here's a direct, feature-level comparison — including where the tools we didn't build genuinely win. The honest limitation: it's VS Code-only, and it depends on a…...
