SuperGeekery: A blog probably of interest only to nerds by John F Morton.
Welcome to my link library. These are not links to content I have created unless you see that mentioned in the link’s description. These are links I found interesting enough to want to keep track of. If you read Craft Link List, the Craft CMS newsletter I used to write, this page is a replacement of sorts for that exercise. Enough talk. Let’s hit the links.
AI and jobs
This post covers dependency cooldowns in package managers to block supply chain attacks. It details rapid adoption across JavaScript, Python, and others, delaying new versions to detect threats.
Why every role seems like an engineering role now (and what it means for you)
The research-plan-implement workflow I use to build software with Claude Code, and why I never let it write code until I’ve approved a written plan.
The AWS Builder Center provides resources, best practices, and architecture guidance. It helps developers build and optimize solutions on Amazon Web Services.
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is a managed platform for managing AI agents at scale. It provides tools, memory, and secure data access for any framework/model.
Learn about knowledge bases in Amazon Bedrock for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using your own data.
Explore Lasso’s prompt injection taxonomy, distinguishing text-based techniques from attacker intent to standardize AI security defenses.
Organizations may stop reviewing LLM-generated code due to its speed and volume. Rigor would shift to detailed specifications and tests, requiring an organizational decision.
Connects Craft CMS to AI assistants. It provides AI tools to explore content and schema, enabling faster, accurate development by understanding your unique content model.
AWS unveils Nova 2 Lite, a fast, cost-effective reasoning model for Bedrock. It optimizes agentic-AI applications with diverse inputs and extended thinking.
Cloudflare’s new feature converts HTML to Markdown for AI agents on demand. This reduces token usage and improves AI processing efficiency.
I stopped designing in Figma and started building directly in AI coding uutools, shaping real products in real time instead of handing off mockups and waiting for interpretation.
Amazon Nova Act Workshop. Nova Act is an AWS service for developers to build and manage fleets of reliable AI agents for automating User Interface (UI) workflows.
LLMs make custom software and tools cheap, like 3D printing for jigs. Unlike 3D printing, LLM code has no quality penalty, allowing for tailored solutions.
Microsoft is adopting Anthropic’s Claude Code internally for its engineering teams, even non-developers, despite selling GitHub Copilot.
This article details a widening gap between advanced and basic AI users. It argues M365 Copilot’s flaws and restrictive enterprise IT policies hinder effective AI adoption, posing an existential risk for businesses.
Nolan Lawson’s “We mourn our craft” explores AI’s impact on programming. He laments AI reducing programmers to reviewers, ending manual coding as a craft.
Tiny macOS menu bar app that keeps your Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, Antigravity, Droid (Factory), Copilot, and z.ai limits visible.
AI lets creators complete future projects now, leading to a “creative psychosis.” It argues artisanal coding will be obsolete by late 2026 as AI empowers people to “just do things.”
Learn to connect Claude Code to a local open-source LLM. This lets you continue coding when your Anthropic quota runs out.
AI coding tools are sparking an indie software revolution. Doubled “Show HN” posts show the predicted “shovelware” flood is here.
Anthropic’s Sonnet 5 AI is rumored to drop Super Bowl week. Early tests show strong math/coding, targeting a fast, lower-cost tier.
AI makes “just coding” insufficient for developers. To stay valuable, they need deep business domain knowledge and broader skills beyond pure coding.
Discover and install skills for AI agents. Install them with a single command to enhance your agents with access to procedural knowledge.
The Kiro Laravel Skeleton is a pre-configured setup for Laravel projects. It quickly launches new apps, providing polished Kiro specs for clean, organized code.
Uptimer — A Laravel-based uptime monitoring application that helps you track website availability and receive instant notifications when your sites…
I used to pay $120/year for a SaaS that hasn’t added new features in four years, and didn’t fix its broken billing system for three years. Using an LLM, I managed to rewrite all the functionality I used to pay for in 20 minutes. Is this bad news for “write once, don’t update later” SaaS?
After two years of AI “vibecoding,” the author returns to manual coding. They found AI-generated code often produces “slop” lacking structural integrity, making it unfit for real projects.
Configure Claude Code with project context via CLAUDE.md so it stops guessing about your Craft version, namespace conventions, and local environment.
