Today I started learning Python, and I explored some fundamental concepts that helped me understand how Python actually works behind the scenes. Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language. Being high-level means it is easy to read and write, as it is closer to human language and abstracts away hardware complexity. This makes it very different from low-level languages like assembly or
I spent a weekend connecting every MCP server that sounded useful. By Sunday night I had 11 running, a claude_desktop_config.json that scrolled off the screen, and an agent that was technically capable of doing almost anything. In practice, it was doing almost nothing useful. What I learned had very little to do with which servers are "good." The MCP ecosystem has exploded. There are directories w
I wanted to figure out how people build payment systems without losing everyone's money. It turns out, my first attempt was a great way to lose a lot of it. I started with what felt like a simple Go service. One endpoint, one database table, and a third-party provider to handle the actual charging. The plan was straightforward: Decode the request. Call the provider to charge the user. Save the res

It's 3am UTC. Someone in your Discord pastes a transaction hash and the message: "did i just get drained??" What happens next is mechanical. A moderator opens the block explorer, scrolls past gas limits and method calls and log topics, decodes the transfer, translates 0xa9059cbb into "this was an ERC20 transfer," cross-references the destination address, then types something like "looks like you s
In this guide we’ll build a Decentralized, Autonomous Vacation Booking System in Python using the Protolink library. The original post can be found on medium (Level-up-coding). The landscape of AI agents is shifting. We are moving away from monolithic scripts driven by a single giant model, towards Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) where specialized, autonomous agents collaborate to solve complex problems
CLMA vs Web Chat: Putting Iterative Verification to the Test Posted on May 6, 2026 · #CLMA #MultiAgent #CodeGeneration #EventSourcing #Comparison #Python All code is open source on GitHub: github.com/kriely/CLMA This is a companion piece to Building CLMA: A Self-Verifying Multi-Agent Framework from Scratch. In that article, I described the framework. Here, I put it to the test — head to head aga
MCP vs Skills: a practical decision guide for builders I need my agent to do X. Skill or MCP? If you build agents on Claude or anything MCP-compatible, this is the question that actually matters. The two patterns get pitched as alternatives. They are not. They solve different problems. Most production agents need both. Here is the decision rule, the framing for each, and the anti-patterns I keep
