This technical post walks through the design and implementation of Secure Playground: a local web app that simulates prompt-injection attacks against large language models and demonstrates simple defenses. Provide a minimal, reproducible environment to test payloads and defensive strategies. Make it easy to add new providers and run mutation-based red-team experiments. Offer a leaderboard and scor
If you use Claude Code or Opencode, you are already paying for an LLM subscription. Before v0.3.0, running Synthadoc also required a separate API key - Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or one of the others. v0.3.0 removes that requirement. Set provider = "claude-code" in one config file and your coding tool subscription becomes the brain of your personal wiki. No additional API key. No additional cost.
Grom — Free, Open-Source AI Coding Assistant for VS Code (Ollama, LM Studio, Anthropic, and More) I've been building Grom, a free and open-source VS Code extension that brings agentic AI coding to your machine. No telemetry, no mandatory account, no subscription. If you use Ollama or LM Studio, nothing ever leaves your machine. Grom is a chat + agentic coding extension that lives in the VS Code
A 16-pixel hero in your macOS menu bar. Watches LLM traffic. That's it. You remember RunCat — the kitten in your menu bar that runs faster when your CPU is busy. Almost a decade old. Adorable. Useful. Asks nothing of you. AI-native development needs the same thing for a different signal. Not CPU. Agent traffic. Is there a live LLM request flowing right now, or is everything quiet? That's why I bui
I was reading about the Dreyfus affair and hit "syndicalism" — a word I'd skimmed past a dozen times. I knew the shape of it, not the substance. Opening a new tab meant losing the paragraph I was in, reorienting, reading something adjacent, and coming back with my thread broken. rabbitholes is a Chrome extension that solves the specific version of this problem: you want the context, but you don't
In recent months, a peculiar behavior observed in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) has sparked discussions among developers: the automatic insertion of the phrase “co-authored by Copilot” in the code comments, even when GitHub Copilot is not actively used by the developer. This phenomenon raises essential questions regarding code attribution, developer productivity, and the implications of AI-assisted

There are two sections to this. In the first section, I discuss what squad is, why it might be useful to learn, and Coding is solved, apparently. If you're a software engineer and you've been using coding agents for a while, The work has certainly changed. For most code changes, it's easier just to ask an agent to do it and you might even worry you're going too slow if you don't. For a lot of us,
