Teaching My Static Analyzer to Catch the Bug It Missed

I found a stack use-after-return bug in Architect today. Then I taught zwanzig, my Zig static analyzer, to catch it.

Running 9 AI Coding Agents at Once: The Terminal I Built to Keep Up

I run multiple AI coding agents simultaneously because I often need to work on several tasks at once. One agent implements a feature, another does a code review, another improves my dev setup, yet another helps me keep my Obsidian notes up to date.

fzkill: Fuzzy Process Killer for Your Shell

I don’t know about you, but for me, killing processes from the command line always involved a ritual: run ps aux, scroll through output, find the target, copy the PID, then kill it. Or maybe grep for a pattern, parse column 2, and hope I picked the right one.

New ClaudeNein app icon, Courtesy of Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Preview

Tried out the new Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Preview, was surprised how fast it is. Used it to generate a new icon for the ClaudeNein app which turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Couldn’t help it, just had to use the “Guardians of the Galaxy” color palette.

Stop Using AI to Fix Garbage Interfaces - Build Better Ones

We’re slapping AI assistants on broken systems and calling it innovation. Booking tickets, ordering food, hailing rides — all the places where AI is supposed to “help” are just UX graveyards we’ve created. You don’t hand over booking a flight to an AI because it’s beneath you — you do it because it’s a multi-hour nightmare.

Building a Retro-Styled Blog with Windsurf

I just vibe-coded this blog with Windsurf, really. The initial prompt was “Build a personal developer blog for github pages. Use 80th era style.” However, it came up with such eye-popping design that we had several iterations until converging to this.

IJ Conference 2025 is over

Had a lot of fun, got some interesting ideas. Trying to go to sleep now, while the party music is still booming somewhere below. Next week a break, then another week of KubeCon, where I’ll man the booth.

If you use Safari’s awesome Reading List feature, you may sometimes want to extract all URLs from this list for one of the following reasons:

• you want to export your saved articles to a different tool;

Don’t Say “I Don’t Know”: A Horrible Advice for a Tech Interview
