Teaching a local coding agent from its own mistakes: DPO on a 30B model

The WUIC Assistant is our agentic VS Code plugin: it scaffolds Angular components, dashboards, reports, workflows, and metadata patches for apps built on the WUIC framework. Under the hood it runs qwen3-coder:30b β€” a Mixture-of-Experts model with ~3B active parameters β€” served locally through Ollama on a single RTX 4090. No API calls, no data leaving the machine. For weeks the plugin had been sitting at 100% on its curriculum : 32 tasks, five green runs each, a 96/96 regression suite. ...

Building Needflare: An Autonomous Disaster Intelligence & Logistics Agent with Gemini 3.7, Gemma 4 & Google Veo

This article was created for the purposes of entering the Google Cloud: All Things Agentic Hackathon. In catastrophic natural disasters like flash floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes, cellular networks collapse and emergency dispatchers are overwhelmed with thousands of fragmented, panic-driven field messages. Volunteers trying to coordinate over open radio frequencies or mesh airwaves risk leaking sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as phone numbers, names, and vulnerab...

Free AWS Certification for Students: The Complete Step-by-Step Guide

πŸ‘‹ Hey there! I'm Sarvar , a Cloud Architect who spends most days building on AWS and Azure, and the rest writing about it. Last year I wrote a guide on getting a free AWS certification voucher. Around 85,000 of you read it. You can still see it here: Unlocking Free AWS Certifications: Your Step-by-Step Guide . Then AWS closed that program (the old AWS Educate ETC route), and for the next year my comment section became a support desk. The same questions came up again and again: "my voucher got ...

I made gh-tree β€” a GitHub Action that turns your GitHub activity into an animated Minecraft tree. How it works Fetches Your Stats : Uses GitHub's GraphQL API to pull your recent commits, pull requests, and PR reviews. Generates Pixel Art : Dynamically maps stats to 14 leaf blocks, flowers, and apples rendered via WebAssembly ( resvg-wasm ). Auto-Commits : Builds a transparent animated GIF and updates your README.md daily. πŸƒ Leaves = Weekly commits (drives fo...

Wow, We Gained 10+ Users πŸ˜‚ β€” So I Kept Updating Rizzzler

A little while ago, I wrote about launching Rizzzler, my open-source project. At that point, 7 users had signed up in my another post Now? We're at 11 users. πŸŽ‰ Okay, technically that's only 4 more users... But still β€” 10+ users! πŸ˜‚ For a small project built and deployed with basically no marketing budget, I'm honestly pretty happy about it. But the more interesting part isn't the number. It's what happened after people started giving feedback. Instead of just adding r...

Score Your Free AI Code Reviewer Before You Trust It: A Server-Side Experiment

Free AI models are great for code review until you realize they disagree with themselves. Last week I ran a small experiment on MonkeyCode's free models using their free server, and the results changed how I use AI in my daily workflow. The short version: you can rely on free AI code review, but only after you score its output for consistency and correctness. Disclosure: This article was prepared as part of MonkeyCode's product outreach. Why I Stopped Asking Which Model Is Best? ...

Forgotten Python Framework #1: Bottle

In an era where bootstrapping a basic web application often requires downloading a huge framework or navigating complex dependency trees, there's a quiet, radical alternative in the Python ecosystem. Bottle. Many new Python developers probably haven't heard of it. And some might think the framework must be forgotten by now. Well! No. Bottle is a fast, simple, and lightweight WSGI micro web framework for Python. It was developed by Marcel Hellkamp, aka defnull, and released in 2009. He buil...
