At some point, coding stopped being engaging. Most dev tools optimize for speed but I wanted to optimize for feeling. It adds subtle feedback while you work: small cues as you type a sense of momentum a smoother flow state Nothing loud. Just enough to make coding feel less “dead”. When coding feels better, you: stay focused longer switch context less enjoy the process more Small improvements in ho
Two and a half months ago we published Why We Built UCP Playground, which closed on 114 agent sessions and an honest acknowledgement that the dataset was thin — most models had single-digit sample sizes, store coverage was uneven, and the headline rates moved meaningfully with every new run. A month later we crossed a different threshold: the first fully autonomous AI agent purchase through UCP —
I'm working on an AI Data Analyst in MLJAR Studio. The idea is simple: you ask a question in natural language, AI writes Python code, executes it, and shows the result. But recently I found a small example that reminded me why AI data analysis needs more than code generation. I was testing a medical data analysis use case with a diabetes CSV file. The first task was simple: load data from this URL
7 CODER W🙂RDS is a word puzzle game for people interested in computer science in general. You are given 7 clues and you need to guess the word behind each clue by combining shuffled word tiles. To this day I have the game 7 Little Words on my phone, the old version. I play it all the time and I thoroughly enjoy it. I thought it would be cool to build a remake which only encompasses words from the
Is AI going to steal your job, or is it just another fancy autocomplete? The AI buzz is deafening, promising to revolutionize everything. But for us mere mortals building websites and shipping features, what's actually useful in the day-to-day grind? Let's cut through the hype and look at what's making a real difference. Forget robots taking over the world. The true power of AI for developers righ
Why Traditional URL Shorteners Are a Privacy Nightmare When you click a bit.ly link, here's what happens: Bit.ly logs your IP, timestamp, user agent They see the destination URL They track your browsing patterns They sell this data to advertisers Even if you trust the shortener, their database can be hacked. I built cryptly to solve this problem using blockchain and encryption. Encryption (Clien
As developers, we use online tools all the time — JSON formatters, CSS generators, minifiers, validators… But honestly, most of them feel like this: painfully slow After a while, it just gets frustrating. So instead of complaining, I decided to build my own. I didn’t want to create just another tool website. I focused on three simple things: Speed – everything should feel instant I started with a
Lee Powell · Architect of Scrivener and Scapple · Lumen & Lever Most AI document pipelines fail before the model is ever called. Tables become paragraphs. Lists collapse into prose. Annotations are detached from context. Page references disappear. Source traceability is replaced by a confidence score. The structure that gave the document its meaning is gone before retrieval runs, and no retrieval
