In the #100DaysOfCode, I made an accounting web app that capable of managing small businesses ' accounting systems. Built on top of React + Redux for the frontend and Django + MySQL for the backend.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
Most people think a 0.8B model is a toy.
3rd test. This time: OCR
I fed Qwen 3.5 0.8B three images: a Kindle page, my terrible handwriting x 2.
Mostly correct. Running locally. From a model smaller than your browser tab.
Breaking news in #PancreaticCancer research!
Spanish oncologist Mariano Barbacid’s team at CNIO just achieved complete regression of KRAS mutated pancreatic tumors in mice using a low toxicity drug combo, RMC-6236 (KRAS inhibitor), afatinib (EGFR inhibitor) & SD36 (STAT3 degrader). No relapse, minimal side effects & a huge step toward beating resistance!
lol the AI company doesn't like that someone is using a derivative of their ip without their permission hahaha and literally just that the name is a joke
The amount of crap I get for putting out a hobby project for free is quite something.
People treat this like a multi-million dollar business. Security researchers demanding a bounty.
Heck, I can barely buy a Mac Mini from the Sponsors.
It's supposed to inspire people. And I'm glad it does.
And yes, most non-techies should not install this.
It's not finished, I know about the sharp edges.
Heck, it's not even 3 months old.
And despite rumors otherwise, I sometimes sleep.
This is not surprising and will not end with OpenAI.
All the capital being being spent and lent by the richest companies on earth will not buy enough time-by the very definition of mania.
The government will pull out all the stops to save the AI bubble to save the market to save the economy.
The problem is too big to save, again by that very same definition.
I took Opus 4.5 Max Mode for the ultimate test.
I asked it to search my code base for bugs
I took a lot of pride in this code, all hand rolled, by the sweat of my brow. It was mine and it was good.
Claude found 15 bugs
I was devastated
So I went to the first bug, and asked for a unit test. It produced a unit test in mere moments.
I ran the tests and saw it. A broken test. Property test of undefined. Rookie error
Ashamed, but determined I set forth to fix these bugs as penance. So I cracked open nvim getting ready to edit this typescript script
But... The code seemed correct. Weird.
So I checked the test, Claude faked bad data. The setup could never happen
Wtf
It's a lie, the whole thing.
I checked every bug Claude found. Every line item was not a bug. Everyone of them just some condition that cannot exist due to asserts or previous if statements
What an amazing $3s and 20 minutes spent
Normally when I waste time at least I learn something
he explains so well what you need to do as a programmer with all the hypes and fears of AI. these 5 advices will separate devs who can boost themselves with AI rather than get confused by it:
> double down on human-nuanced skills that AI can’t cover. systems thinking, code security, UX pain points, identifying problems.
> find a problem and create a solution with AI using your creativity and unique skills. this is a learning experience itself.
> junior roles are going puff. that doesn’t mean you will be jobless, it means the job is changed drastically. software engineering is changing to software managing of a team of AI coders. so learn PM related skills.
> become excellent at context engineering. write good prompts, preprocess the context, learn how to get what you want with minimum back-and-forth conversations with AI.
> use your skills to identify problems with your unique human skills and use good context engineering to get the best response from ai agents.
the best thing you can do right now: pick a problem you personally deal with, build an app with AI that is so good it’d encourage you to pay for. this is how you exercise your soft skills and the hard skills of using AI and building a fully working app.
