I Planned 10 LLM Evaluation Experiments And Only Ran 1. It Was Enough.

I Planned 10 LLM Evaluation Experiments And Only Ran 1. It Was Enough. I didn’t set out to write a benchmark paper. I wanted to answer a much dumber, much more practical question: “For the stuff I actually do at work, when do I really need a frontier model… and when am I just burning money?” So I did what engineers do when they want to be serious about this: I designed 10 experiments across real-world agent use cases with a reusable evaluation harness and a budget ceiling so I wouldn’t hate

I got tired of juggling apps in my workflow, so I built Termo

Some time ago I started going to a code-and-coffee meetup. Every week we'd get together, share ideas, and show off projects we'd been working on — and it's been a genuinely great experience. From the very first meetup, one thing stood out to me: almost everyone was building something to solve a problem they ran into every single day. That got me thinking. What if I built something to fix a problem in my own workflow? So I looked at how I actually spend my day. I write a lot of code. I interact w

Using Claude to decrypt Carmageddon

I used to play Carmageddon with @edulazaro and we decided to play it again now that the new one is coming this year. We also tried to add new cars, and we wanted their numbers to sit in a sane range: mass, top speed, suspension, etc. The 1997 original is the obvious reference. But there is one problem. Carmageddon stores all of that encrypted on disk. So for example CARS/BLKEAGLE.TXT is just encrypted garbage. So at first just asked Claude to work out the cipher, but it didn't work. We fed it en

How to Render Web Pages with JavaScript and Caddy using AxonASP: Step-by-Step

Web development is constantly evolving, and sometimes the best way to move forward is to rethink how we serve our applications. If you are looking for a lightning-fast, zero-friction way to render server-side JavaScript pages natively within your web server, it is time to look at AxonASP integrated with the Caddy web server. We are rewriting the future of server-side page rendering. By embedding the AxonASP runtime directly into Caddy, you get a powerful environment that executes server-side Jav

The half-fixed bug: two upstream crashes in dio and flutter/packages

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Clear the Lineup powered by Sentry. Both of these bugs were already known before I touched them. One had a linked issue and a fix that covered half the cases. The other had a unit test that asserted the crash, with a comment above it saying // Remove when fixed!. They also had the same shape. In both projects the correct behavior already existed elsewhere in the same file: a sibling transformer that handled the input, a sibling branch that reporte

The DeepSeek Leak: Why Infrastructure Secrets Matter More Than Model Weights

The DeepSeek Leak: Why Infrastructure Secrets Matter More Than Model Weights The artificial intelligence ecosystem was recently rattled by reports that Liang Wenfeng, the low-profile CEO of DeepSeek, was deeply unsettled by an internal leak. To the casual observer, panic from the leader of an "open-weights" pioneer over leaked information seems paradoxical. If a company’s business model is built on releasing state-of-the-art models like DeepSeek-V3 and R1 to the public, what secrets are left t
