I benchmarked which of 18 AI models writes the least like "AI slop"
If you write with AI you already know the tells: the throat-clearing opener, the tidy rule of three, "it's not just X, it's Y." But I was curious to see statistically what models actually produced the most slop, so I made my own opensource benchmark: theslopindex.com Here's how I came up with the benchmark. 1) The Baseline: Slop can only be measured compared to stuff that already existed. So I got corpus of data for various areas of writing (email, social, chat, and essay...

Swapping AI models rarely fixes bad output. The context you feed it does more work than people realize.
Noticed a pattern: people switch from GPT to Claude, upgrade to a newer version, try a bigger model and the output barely changes. If that's happened to you, the issue usually isn't the model. It's what you handed it before asking the question. Broke it down to three things context actually needs to supply, and most disappointing outputs are missing one of these, not all of them: Current facts the training data can't know: your pricing, this quarter's numbers, a customer's actual history...

Database Views in Your ERD: Read-Only Entities, Not Fake Tables
Disclosure: I build Schemity , a desktop ERD tool - this post is from our blog and uses it for the examples.
TL;DR: Database views carry real responsibilities - reporting layers, security boundaries, API surfaces - but ERD tools either leave them out entirely (DBML has no view support despite requests since 2022) or draw them as if they were ordinary tables. Schemity displays views and materialized views as read-only entities with italic names and a bold view or mview token in the entit...

I told one AI to demolish the handoff prompt I wrote for another AI. It found a test that passes even when it's empty
I'm building an app with Claude Code right now.
The setup is a little unusual. One "commander" session writes the instructions, and separate "worker" sessions implement them in parallel.
The commander never touches the keyboard itself. Its whole job is to turn "what to do next" into a handoff prompt that a worker can read and just run with.
And that handoff prompt is quietly the scariest thing in the whole loop.
The moment I hand it over, the worker trusts it as the spec and starts spr...

Confident Is Not Correct: Three Signs That Claude Is Guessing
The answer arrives clean, well-formatted, and certain. You run it. The config flag doesn't exist.
Nothing in the response told you the difference between the parts it was sure about and the parts it filled in. The syntax was right. The explanation was reasonable. The flag had a sensible name and a clear purpose. It just wasn't real.
This is a calibration problem, not a trust problem. "Don't trust AI" is useless advice. It tells you to doubt everything, which is the same as doubting nothing...

Architecting Mainline-Friendly Products
Mainline-friendly products are designed so their board support lives in upstream Linux, U-Boot, and standard build systems instead of a vendor fork. The decision is architectural, not aspirational: it is made when you choose the SoC, design the add-on connectors, and write the device tree β not when the product is already shipping. This article gives the strategic case, the product design rules that follow from current kernel work on hot-pluggable add-on boards, a vendor checklist for tech leads...

Building Fluentic Style: Making CSS Debugging Work Across Next.js Server and Client
This is part of my Building Fluentic Style series, where Iβm writing down the design decisions, tradeoffs, and small surprises from building Fluentic Style .
It is one thing to make a styling library feel good in a client-side app.
It is another thing to make it feel good in Next.js App Router.
In a simple SPA-style development setup, most of the styling loop lives in one place:
component renders in the browser
Fluentic style chain resolves
atomic CSS rule is inserted
