If you have spent any real time with Claude Code, you have probably noticed the same problem I did. You write the same instructions in the prompt every other day. "Use four-space indentation here." "Always run the linter after edits." "Format commit messages this way." After the third or fourth repeat, it stops feeling like a prompt and starts feeling like missing config. Skills are how Claude Cod
High-performance apps shouldn't be slowed down by the "Copy Tax". I’ve engineered a solution that enables direct memory sharing between the Dart VM and Native C++. No serialization, no cloning, and zero GC pressure. Built for developers handling heavy native data pipelines like ML models, camera feeds, and real-time audio. The Benchmarks (100 iterations): If you're working with camera feeds, ML te
The Work Is Too Specific for Enterprise Software Small and mid-sized teams run on operational content. A law firm receives NDAs, contracts, court filings, and client intake forms. A dental clinic handles referral letters, insurance documents, treatment plans, invoices, and patient forms. An accounting firm processes supplier invoices, receipts, bank statements, and monthly reports. A real estate
The Problem Changed The first version of Iteration Layer was written in TypeScript. That was the obvious choice at the time. The product looked like a normal web app with a normal API surface: accept a request, call a model or processing library, return a response. That shape did not last. Content-processing infrastructure does not behave like a CRUD app once people start using it for real work.
Why Most Crypto Bots Get Sandwiched (And How to Prevent It) If you've ever tried running a crypto trading bot, you've likely encountered the dreaded "sandwich attack." You place a trade, but before it executes, someone else jumps ahead of you, buys the asset, and then sells it back to you at a higher price. Congratulations—you’ve been sandwiched. This isn’t just bad luck; it’s a sophisticated ex
Adding email and calendar tools to an AI agent is mostly an exercise in restraint. Give it 50 commands and the agent gets confused. Give it 5 carefully-chosen ones and it punches above its weight. After running agents against the Nylas CLI for a few months, these are the five I keep coming back to. Each gets exposed via MCP (nylas mcp install) so the agent can call them directly. nylas email send
You ssh'd into a fresh Linux box and you need to send an email. Maybe a backup completed. Maybe a deploy succeeded. Maybe a process crashed and you want a stack trace in your inbox. The traditional path: install Postfix, edit main.cf, configure a smart relay, generate SASL credentials, restart the daemon, and pray nothing else on the box uses port 25. That is the 30-minute path. The 60-second path
I tried to give an AI agent its own email account three different ways. The first two took most of an afternoon. The third took 28 seconds. This is the migration story. The first instinct: just create a Gmail. Free, familiar, works everywhere. Forty-five minutes in: Created a new Google account with a phone number Google would accept (the agent does not have a phone) Configured 2FA, generated an a
