Delegating to AI Means Governing the Environment

In the previous article, I argued that AI isn't simply changing the tools we use to develop software, but shifting our work to a new level of abstraction. In this one, I want to address the problem that immediately follows: if we're going to write less and less code directly and agents are going to produce an increasingly larger part of it, how the hell do we know whether what they code is actuall...

El mayor ahorro del sistema fue sacarle trabajo al agente

El 7 de abril de 2026 escribí el primer commit de lo que iba a ser mi orquestador de agentes. Era, básicamente, una pantalla. Un servidor que gestionaba varios proyectos a la vez y desde el cual podía disparar tareas de un agente de código, con un tablero al medio que mostraba en qué etapa estaba cada cosa. Si me hubieran preguntado ese día cuál era el problema que estaba resolviendo, habría cont...

AI Coding Agents Can Pass Tests and Still Make the Wrong Decision

A question I've been thinking about after discussing AI coding agents with several developers: Is passing the test suite enough to prove that an AI agent made the correct engineering decision? I don't think it is. And this isn't just a theoretical concern. Modern coding agents are increasingly working at the repository level rather than generating isolated code snippets. OpenAI's Codex docum...

MiniMax-H3, explained with your favourite TV shows

If you've been watching the open text-to-video space, MiniMax-H3 is one of the more interesting drops of the year. It generates short cinematic clips with a synced soundtrack from a text prompt, and you can drive it end-to-end without ever touching a GPU yourself. The easiest way to explain what that actually looks like is to point at the results people have been posting. My feed has been full of...

Building a Simple Currency Converter in React with useState and useMemo

One of the best ways to learn React is by building small, practical projects. A currency converter is an excellent example because it introduces state management, user input handling, calculations, and performance optimization—all in a single application. I built a simple currency converter using React that converts from USD to EUR, GBP, and JPY. For simplicity, I used fixed exchange rates instea...

How I Made My Own AWS For Students To Learn Cloud

Cloud computing is one of the most important skills for developers today, but I noticed that many students learn it mostly through theory. Getting hands-on experience with servers, containers, networking, and deployment can be difficult and expensive. So, I decided to build Nodefy — an open-source cloud platform designed specifically for students. Nodefy provides students with real Linux environ...

Anthropic's $6B Decart deal is a robotics play disguised as a compute play

Bloomberg reported this morning, August 13, that Anthropic is in talks to buy Decart AI for around $6 billion. Talks, not a signed deal. That distinction matters and I will come back to it. What caught my attention is not the number. It is where Decart came from. The Minecraft thing Decart got famous for Oasis: a playable Minecraft-looking world that no game engine was rendering. The ...

33 tests proved the tool was correct. None asked whether it runs.

Acceptance gaps Your monitoring tool has 33 tests. Every one of them passes. It has also never executed, not once, and nothing in your project will ever tell you. Correct, complete, and never started We built a tool that scans four public sources for conversations where our product belongs. It reads only. It never posts. The acceptance was thorough. 33 checks in total. No write acces...

Perry Mason in: The Case of the Drifting Timer

Perry Mason in: The Case of the Drifting Timer Opening Statement You need a reactive "current time" in your Vue 3 app. A schedule grid with a red line showing "now." A live clock. A dashboard that updates every minute. Every Vue developer reaches for setInterval first. It works. But "works" and "works well" are different things. This is the story of taking a naive timer fro...

How can I add custom CSS in WordPress without affecting other elements?

I am working on a WordPress website and want to add some custom CSS to change the appearance of a specific element on one page. The problem is that when I add the CSS, it also affects other elements on the website that use similar classes or selectors. What is the recommended way to target only the specific element or section without affecting other parts of the WordPress site? For example, should...

Cross-Post a DEV.to Tutorial to Medium with a Formatting Check

Cross-posting a technical tutorial is easy to start and surprisingly easy to get wrong. A URL import can leave code blocks split, headings as plain text, or metadata incomplete. The result may look acceptable at a glance while damaging the parts readers need most. This tutorial shows a reviewable DEV.to to Medium workflow using publish-agents, an open-source TypeScript project by Fernando Paladin...

Why Rust and WebAssembly Are Replacing JavaScript for Heavy AI Workloads in 2026

Why Rust and WebAssembly Are Replacing JavaScript for Heavy AI Workloads in 2026 While JavaScript remains the reigning language for web UI rendering, high-throughput client-side compute—such as local browser AI inference, video encoding, and cryptographic verification—has completely shifted to Rust compiled to WebAssembly (WASM). In 2026, running 1B+ parameter models directly inside th...
