- March 17, 2026 This post series is for people who want to build or rebuild a site. You may have heard of Eleventy, a popular static site generator, and maybe heard it’s simple to use. To evaluate that simplicity, I’ll compare a sample blog in Eleventy to the same blog in Web...
- OpenAI today: Introducing GPT‑5.4 mini and nano. These models join GPT-5.4 which was released two weeks ago. OpenAI’s self-reported benchmarks show the new 5.4-nano out-performing their previous GPT-5 mini model …
- Imagine I’m the design leader at your org and I present the following guidelines I want us to adopt as a team for doing design work: Typography: Use expressive, purposeful fonts and avoid default stacks (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system). Motion: Use a few meaningful animations...
- Conversations with AI are ephemeral, decisions made early lose attention as the conversation continues, and disappear entirely with a new session. Rahul Garg explains how Context Anchoring externalizes the decision context into a living document. more…...

- Look at this math and grasp at its majesty: P(R) = P(R | BM25) * P(R | Emb) # Prob(Relevance) = lexical * embedding OK what’s so special about that? That’s an AND. A probabilistic way of combining scores so that when BOTH “things happen”, the final result becomes true. Here when...
- Annie Vella did some research into how 158 professional software engineers used AI, her first question was: Are AI tools shifting where engineers actually spend their time and effort? Because if they are, they’re implicitly shifting what skills we practice and, ultimately, the...
- The shell sits in front of a lot of my work, but I mostly use it for the outcome: running unix commands and scripts, creating branches and making commits. Unlike when I'm writing code, I'm rarely thinking about how the shell itself works under the hood.So, to dig a bit deeper...
- Greg Knauss has my attention with a food analogy in his article “Lose Myself”: A Ding Dong from a factory is not the same thing as a gâteau au chocolat et crème chantilly from a baker which is not the same thing as cramming chunks of chocolate and scoops of whipped cream...
- I managed billing for 200+ price points and 14 engineers. Here's the 6-question framework I wish someone gave me to decide whether to extend or replace a billing stack at scale. The post Extend or replace – how to evaluate your billing stack at AI scale appeared first on Arnon...

- Comprehension debt is the hidden cost to human intelligence and memory resulting from excessive reliance on AI and automation. For engineers, it applies most to agentic engineering.
- I first started compiling "How To Thought Lead" in my notes 5 years ago, at first as an ironic parody and then slowly becoming sincere, and never published it, 1) because I don't know if I ever really nailed it / have a complete picture, 2) I was somewhat worried if I published...
- I was a speaker last month at the Pragmatic Summit in San Francisco, where I participated in a fireside chat session about agentic engineering hosted by Eric Lui from Statsig. …
- If you’ve been building web for a while, you probably remember the mess of six million files in your head element just to have a well-supported favicon. This is all over now, and a handful of files should be more than enough. Alleluia! “How to Favicon in 2026” on Evil Martians...
- It’s a common position among software engineers that big egos have no place in tech1. This is understandable - we’ve all worked with some insufferably overconfident engineers who needed their egos checked - but I don’t think it’s correct. In fact, I don’t know if it’s possible...

- AI tools hit a true inflection point in late 2025. Building things got cheaper. AI tools got expensive. And the gap between good management and bad management got a whole lot wider. Here’s how to think about management in 2026. Managers Must Be Builders Managers must be builders...
- PLG had a good run, but it's not enough anymore. AI is changing how software gets discovered, bought, and expanded. Credits are emerging as the core commercial primitive. Not as a pricing model, but as infrastructure. Notes on what ALG means for billing, growth, and the...
