The Purple Gradient Problem: Why AI UI All Looks Alike (and How to Fix It)

16+ min ago   (799+ words) You can spot it in about three seconds. There's even an origin story. In August 2025, Adam Wathan — the creator of Tailwind CSS — posted a half-serious apology on X that got over a million views. He was sorry, he said, for…...

I made two AIs review each other's code for 30 days. A human still caught the bug in 5 minutes.

44+ min ago   (905+ words) Last month I let AI write 100% of my code for 30 days. The single loudest lesson wasn't "AI is amazing" or "AI is useless." It was one sentence: the thing that writes the code can never be the thing that reviews…...

AI Website Handoffs: When a Prototype Needs a Real Code Boundary

41+ min ago   (332+ words) A polished AI-generated website can hide an unfinished delivery model. The hard question is not whether a builder can produce a convincing page. It is whether the next person can safely change the real system without reconstructing the original prompt,…...

Record why an approach was rejected—and when to revisit it

39+ min ago   (564+ words) Disclosure: I maintain Selvedge, an open-source decision-history tool. This article was prepared with AI assistance from Grok and Codex. The example below is hypothetical and uses plain Markdown; it does not require a particular product. A repository can show what…...

AI Agent Memory: Sliding Windows, Summaries, and Vector Storage

1+ hour, 14+ min ago   (623+ words) The agent we built in Post #4 has one big problem — the moment the script ends, it forgets everything. Next time you run it, it starts from zero. No memory of past conversations, no retained facts, nothing. For a quick experiment…...

The Illusion of String.length: How to safely count Unicode, Emojis, and Words in JS

52+ min ago   (173+ words) If you are building a text input that restricts users to a specific character limit (like a tweet, an SMS gateway, or an SEO meta tag), your first instinct is probably to use String.prototype.length. If you are doing…...

The best coding agent still gets ~6 in 10 changes wrong. That is your review load.

57+ min ago   (244+ words) While tech review articles argue about what PR length is safe to let an agent produce, the review problem is set by a simpler number: how often the agent is wrong. Specific Labs' Real-SWE benchmark, published September 2026, runs frontier agents…...

AI Is Already Better at Coding Than Most Developers. So Why Would a Company Still Hire You?

52+ min ago   (1385+ words) AI can write a React component in seconds. It can create an API, design a database schema, write tests, explain an unfamiliar codebase, debug an error, refactor a function, and generate documentation before you've finished your coffee. And it's getting…...

1+ hour, 22+ min ago   (596+ words) I work on LensUp, which does exactly that — the whole pipeline runs in the tab, and files are never uploaded. Disclosure up front: it's our tool, and this post is about the parts that were harder than the pipeline itself....
