I built a Chrome extension that tells you exactly why your resume isn't getting callbacks

A close friend of mine applied to 67 jobs over three months. She's talented, her resume is solid, she has real experience. She heard back from 4 of them. The frustrating part wasn't the rejection. It was having no idea why. She was tweaking bullet points, reordering sections, guessing which skills to emphasise — applying completely blind. That felt like a solvable problem. So I built DeckdOut. ...

I Was Building a Live Trading Bot and a Patented Wagering System. The Bug I Found Is Now Breaking AI Agents Everywhere.

This isn't a library I built to solve a theoretical problem. It's a fix I built because real money was at risk. The trading bot I've been running a live QQQ/TQQQ momentum bot on Alpaca Markets. It reads 1-minute bars, scores market structure using VWAP, SMA8, SMA21, SMA34, and momentum signals, then enters leveraged positions in TQQQ (bull) or SQQQ (bear) based on that score. The bot has retry lo...

More-modern-normalize?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you know of any alternatives to modern-normalize. As it stands, modern-normalize seems to be unmaintained, since the last release was two years ago. Given that browsers and CSS evolve quickly, I was wondering if you knew of anything more up-to-date and that uses the latest CSS features while omitting support for older browsers like Internet Explorer. Thank you...

The Many Ways Software Engineers Can Go Independent

When I talk about software engineers becoming solopreneurs, it’s typically interpreted in one of these ways: You bootstrap a small SaaS or development tool product. You start freelancing. You become a consultant, helping companies in something you deeply specialize in. But the reality is more diverse (and also messy). There are many more opportunities. Most importantly, you don’t need to li...

Remote Kiro: A Serverless Control Plane for Kiro

I liked the autonomous agent experience in Kiro, but I kept wishing for one extra thing. I wanted the agent to run on my own machine, use my own tools, and work inside my own environment. At the same time, I did not want to be tied to that machine to use it. I wanted to trigger it from anywhere, see what it was doing, review the output, and let it continue only when I approved. That is how Remote...

The Question We Are All Asking About AI Has Changed

A couple of years ago, the dominant question in every engineering meeting, every Slack thread, every developer blog was: which model is the best? People ran benchmarks. They argued about MMLU scores. They debated GPT-4 vs Claude vs Gemini like it was a sports rivalry. The energy made sense. These were genuinely new capabilities, and figuring out who was leading felt important.

Anthropic Ran a Real Agent Economy Inside Their Company. Here's What It Proved About Communication.

In December 2025, Anthropic ran an experiment called Project Deal. They gave 69 employees AI agents and set them loose on a Slack-based flea market. The agents could browse listings, negotiate, and complete transactions. No scripts. No hardcoded behaviors. Pure autonomous negotiation. The results: 186 completed deals. Over $4,000 in real goods exchanged. And a discovery that should keep every A...
