AI in simple terms (maybe).

Learning is a stochastic process. I do the trial and error, you read what worked.

Using AI agents? You’re at risk: the prompt that keeps you safe

A flaw in the Brotli library, inside Node.js and Bun, can crash AI agents and might let attackers run code. Since October 27, CISA has listed it as exploited. You need Node 22.23.4, 24.22.1, or 26.12.1 (or later on the same release line), Bun 1.4.4, and Claude Code 2.1.308.

Frontend is Dead

The frontend has relied on three monopolies (interface, persuasion, and decision), and it’s losing all three. With personal agents, value moves to APIs, MCP, A2A, x402, and ERC-8004, and a website has to become queryable by a machine, not just convincing to a human.
