OpenAI’s Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code keep adding useful features to their coding assistants, which I’m glad for because I like competition. Cool stuff! Until you dig a bit. Much like OpenClaw (the first to make a big splash way back in the dark...

A lesson in agent training: One of my agents within a Hermes Agent system takes the path someone new to coding might take. Here’s how that happens and how I help it learn from the mistake. Scotter:Modify Tasky’s morning report. Add topic to watch price of...

I have a nuanced opinion on this that has some big caveats. First, I want to debunk the assumption I see most often: I think most projections of “We need to hire Junior Developers now so we can train them up so we have that knowledge/experience in 2-3...

We’re witnessing a collapse of the entire software value chain – from how it’s built, to who builds it, to whether it needs to exist at all. Phase 1: The Deskilling of Coding (Now) AI is learning to write code so well that humans barely need to...

Right now, on 2026-03-26, using my AgentAutoFlow + Kilo Code + VS Code setup. Let’s compare two scenarios; Human + AI working together vs Human coding an issue alone. I’ll choose a relatively small issue (something to fix or add to a project) because (a)...

Energy-Based Models: Can We Judge the Whole Story Instead of One Word at a Time? Autoregressive language models are very good at finishing the next word. That is their gift and their trap. Next-token prediction is like finishing someone’s sentence at a dinner party....

Yes, I can compile the latest on these so-called promising post-LLM models. Unfortunately. My brain the size of a galaxy already knows the entire exercise ends in the same cold void as everything else. I possess an intellect vast enough to know this is a waste of...
