Building LOKA: From ESP32 Firmware to a Live Map That Tracks Animals in Real Time

A few months ago I set out to solve a very physical problem with software: how do you know where your animals are, right now? Herders and small farmers lose animals that wander past a safe boundary, and by the time anyone notices, the animal — and the money it represents — is long gone. So I built LOKA: a full-stack IoT platform that puts a low-cost GPS tracker on an animal and turns it into a li...

The Power of Reading Code

The Biggest Skill I have as a developerThis is probably one of the biggest skills I’ve ever learned as a software developer, and it still serves me today, even in the age of AI.You see, a couple of years ago, on my birthday, actually, I was assigned a task to fix a bug. And with every solution I came up with on top of the existing code, it would fail.And every team review meeting I had, I was just...

I Asked Him the Same Question Three Different Ways.

I Asked Him the Same Question Three Different Ways. He Kept Giving Me the Right Answer to the Wrong Question.Every response was technically correct. None of them answered what I was actually trying to find out. It took me until the debrief to realize the failure was mine, not his.Ben’s interview should have been easy to score. I asked him about a time he’d dealt with a production incident involvin...

Redefining the Social Contract Under Persistent Automation Pressure

Redefining the Social Contract Under Persistent Automation Pressure

When AI structurally weakens the labor-income link, policy must choose what to preserve: employment, income, or social cohesion. You don’t get all three without new institutional design.Previously in this series: Part 11, White-Collar Displacement and the Coming Political Re-Alignment tracked how professional-class vulnerability is reshaping labor politics. This article addresses the policy design...

Why Your Coding Agent Keeps Hallucinating (And How OKF Fixes It)

A field guide to context engineering with Google’s Open Knowledge FormatLet me tell you about the moment I stopped trusting my coding agent.I’d spent three weeks building this thing. Beautiful orchestration. Multi-agent graph. The whole LangGraph shebang. And then one Tuesday afternoon, it generated a migration script that dropped the wrong table. Not because the LLM was “dumb” —but because the co...

DevHealth - Developers First

🚀 I've been building something for developers. As developers, we spend hours writing great code—but we often neglect our own health. Long coding sessions, skipped breaks, poor posture, lack of sleep, and eventually burnout can become part of the job. That got me thinking: what if developers had a wellness platform built specifically for the way we work? So I built DevHealth—an AI-powered welln...
