Week one: no code, just the work that makes the code possible

The policy memo said "use AI responsibly." I'm building what comes next. I work in a courthouse. Nine years in, three roles deep, and I still get asked questions every week that boil down to the same thing: "is it okay if I use AI for this?" The honest answer is "I don't know, and neither does anyone in this building, and the policy memo doesn't help." That's the problem I'm building around for t...

Another Game: My Little Mortal Combat

Hello awesome readers! I'm happy to announce my latest web game, My Little Mortal Combat, a mashup of two epic franchises, My Little Pony and Mortal Kombat. This began as an idea, just the name, that I recorded in Microsoft To Do in September of 2019. Yes, almost seven years ago. It sat there, at the bottom of my 'idea' list, until about a month ago when in the shower (not joking), it popped up in...

Understanding Transformers Part 13: Introducing Encoder–Decoder Attention

I’m thinking of building my own AI-first personal operating system

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the apps I use every day. Mail. Notes. Reminders. Tasks. Calendar. Project management. Invoices. Password manager. Chat. Most of these tools are either owned by big tech companies, locked inside ecosystems, or separated across multiple apps that don’t really understand each other. And honestly, I don’t like depending too much on Google, Microsoft, Not...

Testing Bedrock Guardrails without the AWS bill

Originally published on fakecloud.dev. Bedrock Guardrails are one of the better pieces of AWS infrastructure in the last year. You define a policy — filter out hate, block PII leakage, deny certain topics, enforce contextual grounding on RAG outputs — and either apply it to an entire model invocation via guardrailIdentifier, or call ApplyGuardrail directly on arbitrary text. Useful, sharp, limite...

Three Gaps, One Platform

The terminology, perceptual, and accessibility gaps between typographers and developers — and where paragraf sits §0 — Hook A typographer says: "the colour is unbalanced." A developer opens the style sheet and adjusts the colors on the page. The paragraph is still wrong. Neither person made a mistake. "Colour" in typesetting means the visual density of a paragraph (also c...

Stop Using setuid for Everything: Practical Linux File Capabilities with getcap, setcap, and systemd

Stop Using setuid for Everything: Practical Linux File Capabilities with getcap, setcap, and systemd A lot of Linux software does not actually need full root power. It needs one specific privilege. Maybe it only needs to bind to port 80. Maybe it needs raw sockets. Maybe it needs one network admin action during startup. Reaching for sudo, setuid, or a root-owned service for all of that...

I thought setting up a UK company was the hard part… I was wrong

When I set up my UK Ltd, I thought the difficult part was over. Company registered, done. Turns out… that’s where the confusing part actually starts. Not big problems. Small things that slowly pile up: – HMRC letters you don’t fully understand – not knowing which address is used where – missing important mail without realising – banks suddenly caring about your address setup Nothing breaks ...

Saying "No" Is the Hardest Thing for an LLM — FCoP Gives It Grammar

Saying "no" is the hardest thing for an LLM. FCoP gives it grammar. — Two agents, in a single dev-team incident, used that grammar twice without instruction: one cleanly de-escalated its role; the other discovered field-downgrade-with-body-annotation. Neither was in the rules file. Author: FCoP Maintainers · 2026-04-25 Keywords: FCoP, role offboarding, seat exclusivity, zero-coordination confli...

AI saved a company $500k. The test suite did the actual work.

Many people are sharing the story of Reco that saved $500k a year using AI to rewrite a JavaScript JSONata implementation to Go. But most of those people are sharing the wrong lesson. The headline makes it sound like magic. Take some AI, point it at some old code, get new code, save half a mil. But if you actually read what went down, the magic part wasn't the AI.
