AI made me lazy. I didn’t notice until it was too late.

I used to actually think through problems. Now I just ask. Here’s what that’s doing to my brain and whether “lazy” is even the right word. There’s a specific kind of shame that hits when you’re staring at a for-loop you’ve written a thousand times and you’re waiting. Just sitting there, cursor blinking, waiting for Copilot to finish the sentence for you. Not because you don’t know how. You absol...

HTTP/2 Multiplexing: Why One Connection Is Enough

In the age of high-concurrency systems, opening a new TCP connection for every request is performance suicide. What We're Building We are designing a backend service that handles thousands of concurrent requests without triggering connection timeouts. The goal is to eliminate the latency overhead of TCP handshakes for every single interaction. By leveraging HTTP/2 features, we can se...

Understanding OpenClaw’s Hook: The Key to Evaluating Agents Properly

Working with a tool like OpenClaw can sometimes feel like a black box, with many moving parts that make it hard to understand what is happening under the hood. However, OpenClaw’s Hook functionality changes that by giving you clear visibility into your agent’s behavior. OpenClaw Hooks let you monitor events as they occur in real time, such as when a message is received or a tool call is made, p...

Building for the Next 10 Years: The Design Principles of apcore

We’ve reached the end of Volume I of our series. We’ve explored the problems with "Vibe-based" engineering, the rise of the Cognitive Interface, and the immediate power of the apcore Adapter ecosystem. But as any experienced engineer knows, a standard is only as good as its foundational principles. In the fast-moving world of AI, where frameworks disappear every six months, how do we build somet...

Why Your AI Productivity Dashboard Is Lying to You

Chapter 2 Deep-Dive: The Measurement Problem Companion document to "Software Development in the Agentic Era" By Mike, in collaboration with Claude (Anthropic) The main guide says subjective productivity reports are unreliable. This chapter narrows that claim to a more specific and more useful one: AI frequently improves coding-stage activity. Teams often mis-measure whet...

The WSL2 Guide I Wish I Had: 4 Gotchas That Will Eat Your Afternoon

WSL2 is a fantastic development environment on Windows. It's also a system with sharp edges that the official docs rarely highlight — the kind you only discover after losing an afternoon to a process eating 300% CPU for no apparent reason. This guide documents four specific problems I've hit repeatedly over the last year while using WSL2 as my main development environment for Docker-based project...

How I Built an AI-Powered Code Review Bot That Saves 10 Hours/Week—Here's the Cheapest Way to Deploy It

How I Built an AI-Powered Code Review Bot That Saves 10 Hours/Week—Here's the Cheapest Way to Deploy It My team was drowning. Every pull request meant 20-30 minutes of manual review—checking for security holes, performance issues, naming conventions, and architectural patterns. With 15-20 PRs per day across our microservices, that's 5-10 hours burned on repetitive analysis that a machin...

A 3D Body from Eight Questions — No Photo, No GPU

A 3D Body from Eight Questions — No Photo, No GPU

8 questions in, 58 Anny body params out. A small MLP trained with a physics-aware loss, runs in milliseconds on CPU. Height accuracy 0.3 cm, mass 0.3 kg, BWH 3-4 cm — better than our photo pipeline on circumferences, without needing a photo. That's the questionnaire path I promised in the previous post. The whole story begins with one observation: that height and weight can estimate body measurem...

The Keystone Burnout: How Engineering Leaders Break Under Constant Vigilance

I had three major burnouts in seven years at the same role, and the consistent mechanism across all of them was domain switching — holding many distinct mental models and moving between them under pressure. The through-line wasn't entirely the quantity of work, though the quantity was a contributing factor. It was the number of distinct domains I was responsible for and the cognitive tax of moving...

is-kit vs Zod: A Practical Comparison from 3 Perspectives

Hi everyone! I’m a frontend engineer who sometimes wonders: “Am I using AI… or is AI using me?” When writing runtime validation in TypeScript, Zod is usually the first choice. There are other options like Valibot and ArkType, but today I want to look at something a bit different: nyaomaru / is-kit Lightweight, zero-depe...

Sticky identities

When I started career in software in 2015, every job application I filled out had the same dropdown. I picked frontend. Not because I didn't write backend code — I did, throughout my whole career. But the dropdown needed an answer, and frontend was where my mass-applied recruiter keywords lived. You know how it is. Required field. Pick one. Move on. Except you don't move on. That answer follow...

Cross-Browser Considerations for Front-End Development

Building a website that works only in your development browser is like hosting a party and only giving the address to one friend. Users will arrive using Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Opera, and a variety of mobile browsers, each powered by different rendering engines and each with its own quirks. While the modern web is far more standardised than a decade ago, browser differences remain a challe...

Multi-Tenant AI SaaS Architecture: 3 Production-Ready Patterns

Multi-tenant AI isn't just regular multi-tenancy with an LLM strapped on. It's a different problem, and most teams only figure that out after something leaks. The pattern shows up often enough to be predictable. In healthcare, a patient query pulls back a chunk from another hospital's internal protocol. In B2B support, a bot answers with pricing from the competitor whose tickets sat in the same v...
