**What Youâll Learn**: About a year ago I wrote on this blog about how coding with LLMs would not work for me, even if there were no ethical or environmental concerns preventing me to use them. I'm not going to repeat the arguments I made that time because my views on the subject haven' t changed. What has changed, however, is that the number of contributions I receive on my open source projects has gone up, and nearly all are now made with LLMs. The other day…

**What Youâll Learn**: SpaceX broke ground on its first day as a public company, immediately jumping to $150 a share after it began trading on the Nasdaq, roughly 11% higher than the $135 figure it formally priced its initial public offering on Thursday. The stock's pop is no surprise. The company's IPO was four times oversubscribed, according to Bloomberg, meaning many institutional investors did not receive allocations and would likely buy shares on the open market. Demand for SpaceX is also a function of its small float,…

**What Youâll Learn**: Slightly reducing the sloppiness of AI generated frontend Back to Blog  | RSS  | Atom 2026-06-12 I've been trying to make progress on a herculean task; I want decent looking programs for personal use which I can generate quickly using AI agents yet I'm a person without taste controlling an AI without taste.

The WASI Subgroup voted to ratify WASI 0.3.0, rebasing WASI onto the WebAssembly Component Model's async primitives. Most of the changes in the 0.3 interfaces are entirely mechanical. WASI 0.2 had to perform some acrobatics to make async work, but now that async is native to the component model we can write the same things we did before but much more ergonomically. Here is a overview of the patterns we were encoding in…
