I built a messaging app where everything disappears (and why)

The problem Every messaging app today keeps everything. Chats, files, links — all stored forever. That’s fine for conversations, but not for: sharing passwords quick dev debugging temporary collaboration sensitive information I found myself constantly thinking: “Why does this need to exist forever?” The idea I wanted something simpler: No accounts No history No ...

What AI Is Actually Doing to Your Critical Thinking

Here's a feeling that's probably familiar. You drop some documents into an AI tool, get a draft back, and then spend twenty minutes reading it to figure out if you agree with what you just "wrote." No critical thinking required. Just vibes and approval. Advait Sarkar calls this being "a professional validator of a robot's opinions." He's a researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge, and I think i...

Stanford's 2026 AI Index just dropped. Junior developer employment is down 20%. Here's what the data actually says.

The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI released its 2026 AI Index today. It is the most comprehensive annual measurement of where AI actually stands — not where the press releases say it stands. One number is going to dominate headlines for the next week. Employment among software developers aged 22 to 25 has fallen nearly 20% since 2024, even as their older colleagues' headcount continues...

Twitter vs X: One Built Culture, the Other Wants to Build a System

Maybe the next dominant internet companies will not be pure social platforms. Maybe they will combine messaging, payments, creators, AI, subscriptions, verification, and commerce into one ecosystem. Maybe the old version of social media really is too narrow for the next phase of the internet.

Python Developer AI Toolkit, Part 2: Five CLI scripts that automate the prompts

Part 1 of this series covered the prompt library — 272 prompts for Python and backend development organized by task type. This is Part 2: the five CLI scripts that turn those prompts into automation tools you can run from the command line or wire into your development workflow. The goal isn't to replace your IDE or your existing toolchain. It's to make AI-assisted code review, test generation, do...

Vibe Coding vs a Senior Dev: 5 Prompts, One App Clone

Vibe Coding vs a Senior Dev: 5 Prompts, One App Clone

There's a video on YouTube where a vibe coder and a senior iOS developer - ten years of experience - both try to clone Granola, a $250M AI meeting notetaker, using only five prompts each. No manual code edits. Just AI tools, strict rules, and everyone watching. The vibe coder nearly won. I say "nearly" carefully, because the honest answer at the end of the video is that nobody definitively won. ...

We Like to Benchmark AI, But What If We've Been Using a Ruler to Measure Weight This Whole Time?

Every few months, a new leaderboard drops. MMLU scores. HumanEval. GPQA. Models get ranked, Twitter erupts, someone declares AGI is two weeks away, and we all move on. But here's the thing that's been bothering me. What are we actually measuring? Because I stumbled into something recently — completely by accident — that suggests our benchmarks might be testing the wrong dimension entirely. And ...

How I Built a Privacy-First PDF Tool Using pdf-lib and the Canvas API

A few weeks ago I got frustrated with online PDF tools. Not with their functionality — iLovePDF and Smallpdf are genuinely useful. What frustrated me was what happens to your files after you click upload. I read the privacy policies. Files retained for 24 hours. Cloud processing on remote servers. Advertising tracking on tool pages. For a tool handling potentially sensitive documents — contracts, ...

Should we feel guilty for using AI?

This blog post is adapted from a blog I wrote at work - it focusses on AI usage in a work setting, particularly from my perspective as a software engineer. Introduction How do you feel about ‘AI’ (by which I mean LLMs[1] in this blogpost) - are you using it a lot on a daily basis, both for work and for personal everyday tasks? Or are you skeptical of its negative impact and have reso...

How Rideshare Drivers Track 1099 Income and Schedule C Deductions in 2026

It's February. You just got your 1099-K from Uber, your 1099-NEC from DoorDash, and a weekly summary from Lyft sitting in three different email threads. You open a shoebox full of gas receipts, your phone's Photos app has 400 screenshots of parking stubs, and you have no idea how many miles you actually drove for business last year. You call your CPA. She says: "Send me your mileage log and a Sch...

SQL SET Operators: UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT Explained Simply

If you are just starting out with SQL, you have probably already learned how to write a SELECT query, filter data with WHERE, and maybe even join two tables together. But what happens when you need to combine results from two completely different queries? That is exactly where SET operators come in. Think of SET operators as tools that let you stack or compare the results of two SELECT queries. I...
