Link List

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.

The Future of Design is Direct Design

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.

Cheap design

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.

Why (Senior) Engineers Struggle to Build AI Agents

Tra­di­tion­al soft­ware engi­neer­ing is deter­min­is­tic, while AI agents oper­ate prob­a­bilis­ti­cal­ly. This fun­da­men­tal dif­fer­ence cre­ates chal­lenges for engi­neers accus­tomed to strict inter­faces and pre­dictable out­comes.

6 Weeks of Claude Code - Puzzmo Blog

Claude Code has con­sid­er­ably changed my rela­tion­ship to writ­ing and main­tain­ing code at scale. I still write code at the same lev­el of qual­i­ty, but I feel like I have a new free­dom of expres­sion which is hard to ful­ly artic­u­late. Claude Code has decou­pled myself from writ­ing every line of code, I still con­sid­er myself ful­ly respon­si­ble for every­thing I ship to Puzzmo, but the abil­i­ty to instant­ly cre­ate a whole scene instead of going line by line, word by word is incred­i­bly pow­er­ful.

Migrating A JavaScript Project from Prettier and ESLint to BiomeJS

Bio­me­JS is a tool for JavaScript code for­mat­ting and lint­ing that com­bines the func­tion­al­i­ties of Pret­ti­er and ESLint. It can stream­line work­flows and enhance per­for­mance by uti­liz­ing Rust and mul­ti­thread­ing behind the scenes, which is ben­e­fi­cial for large code­bas­es.

The Curve is Bending

We’ve final­ly crossed an inflec­tion point of mod­el util­i­ty where the out­put is actu­al­ly worth more than the cost for real dev work. It’s start­ing to make sense to throw lots of mon­ey towards infer­ence.

The death of the stubborn developer

How stub­born devel­op­ers are get­ting left behind by refus­ing to adopt chat-ori­ent­ed pro­gram­ming (CHOP) as their pri­ma­ry devel­op­ment approach.
