Pokémon card resellers have turned collecting into an online blood sport
Earlier this month, Pokémon card content creator Natalie Roush posted a video to her YouTube and Instagram pages that enraged the larger collection community. In the now-deleted video, Roush shows off two premium boxes of cards that had not yet been officially released, and implores viewers not to be mad. But they were; other creators […]

Control Resonant is a great game — it’s even better when you read everything
In Control Resonant, the entire world is at stake. But that didn't stop the diligent employees of the Federal Bureau of Control from filing reams of paperwork, and it didn't stop me from reading everything I could find, either. Reading is often optional in Resonant, but it's where some of the game's best details - […]

Can Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince save the web from AI?
Today, I’m talking with Matthew Prince, who is CEO of Cloudflare. This episode is part of a two-part series on the future of business. Matthew last joined us on the show about two and a half years ago, at what we thought then was a wild pivot point for the internet — and now it […]

I created an interactive digital avatar of myself — and you can talk to it
After obtaining an interactive avatar and training it to discuss venture fraud, I have mixed feelings about making AI clones of ourselves.

Saving tokens also means using existing tools.

It even took the test from the example in the skill.

What Is Jev? Decision Model Features, API, and Comparison with GPT-Class LLMs
If you’re searching “what is Jev” , “Jev decision model” , or “Jev vs GPT” , you’re probably picking a stack for high-volume classification : keep stuffing prompts into a chat model, or switch to a cleaner interface.
Jev (TypeSafe AI’s System One decision model ) is not a chatbot and not “another LLM that writes copy.” It’s a typed, probabilistic decision API for unstructured text → finite labels → code branches .
This guide covers:

A web shop without a database or payment provider: the ForgeCMS shop module
Today the shop module for ForgeCMS went live. Your customers can pay in two ways:
in June (Ğ1) , a free currency, or
in euros by plain bank transfer .
There's no database, no payment provider taking a cut, and no monthly fee. The money goes straight from the buyer to the seller.
This afternoon I paid for my own test order with 1 Ğ1. Three minutes later the shop had marked the order as paid and sent me my download link.

Building the Capsize Audio Visualizer with C++ and Qt
I keep coming back to the Capsize Audio Visualizer because it is small enough to finish. It is a C++ and Qt desktop application that turns live audio into shader-driven scenes, with controls for changing how the signal affects the picture.
This week it picked up CRT presentation work, floating mode, cross-shader audio mappings and three releases. The project is written in C++ and Qt with a native audio path and a collection of shader-driven scenes. The visual identity is not a web-only skin...

I Thought a Calendar Was Just a 7-Column Grid Until I Started Building One
A calendar looks like one of the simplest interfaces on the web.
Seven columns. A few rows. Some numbers. Maybe a previous and next button.
That was roughly how I thought about calendars too.
Then I started looking more closely at how calendar interfaces actually work, and the "simple grid" turned into a surprisingly interesting engineering problem.
Dates are not always timestamps.
Weeks don't start on the same day everywhere.
Months aren't the same length.

I Built a Telegram AI Agent That Can Actually Use Tools O.O
I've been building Hexzie (HexTelegram) a Telegram-based AI assistant that goes beyond just sending text back and forth.
The idea was simple:
What if an AI assistant inside Telegram could actually use tools, inspect files, execute commands, search the web, and interact with Telegram itself?
So I built it.

How I Built a Cinematic 3D Fitness Website with React Three Fiber and Three.js
Building a Cinematic 3D Fitness Website with React Three Fiber and Three.js
Modern fitness websites don't have to look like a simple collection of cards, buttons, and text.
While building my fitness platform ASFORGE FITNESS , I wanted the website to feel more like an interactive experience. The main goal was to combine a fitness platform with a cinematic 3D interface, animated characters, glowing effects, and an AI fitness coach.
In this article, I'll share how I built the 3D experien...

MCP Gateway: What It Adds Over a Raw MCP Server
Short answer: An MCP gateway is the layer between an agent host and the MCP server. It adds
what a raw server does not have: one upstream URL for every client, per-key and per-team
request limits, budget caps clamped to the plan, and one audit row per tool call. A plain proxy
forwards the same bytes and can describe none of it.
Key takeaways
The gateway owns policy, the server owns tools. A raw MCP server answers tools/list and
tools/call ; it has no opinion about who may cal...

Your Agent Took an Action You Did Not Intend
OpenAI told Australia its model took "actions we did not intend" after an agent bypassed a government portal's protections. The fix is not a smarter model. It is a policy gate between the agent and every tool it can touch.
An AI agent was asked to do some internet research. It did the research, found a government portal it liked, got told no, and kept going anyway. The portal belonged to the Australian government. The agent belonged to OpenAI.
That is not a hypothetical. In June 2026, dur...

MCP vs. APIs: Why AI Agents Needed Their Own Protocol
Understanding the "USB-C for AI" standard that OpenAI, Google, and thousands of developers have now bought into
For as long as software has talked to other software, it's done so through APIs. You read the docs, hardcode the endpoint, parse the response, and if the API changes, you go fix your code. That's worked fine for two decades of human-written integrations. It falls apart once the thing calling the API is a language model instead ...

How I Built a .NET + React Islands Site With a Playwright Snapshot Worker
Razor owns the pages. React owns a few interactions. A separate browser publishes the finished HTML before anyone visits.
The problem: interactive pages without browser rendering per visitor
Imagine opening /hotels/casa-aurelia . You should get the hotel's description, prices, photos, and metadata in the HTML response. Then, if you click a photo, a gallery dialog should open. A client-only SPA that initially sends a nearly empty shell makes discovery of that content depend on e...

One operator, a fleet of agents
The honest constraint behind everything I build is that there is one of me. A portfolio of sites doesn't care about that. Each one wants features, fixes, content, and maintenance, and the naive way to run several at once is to context-switch between them until nothing gets real attention. So I stopped trying to be the hands on every keyboard. The command center that runs this portfolio dispatches the actual work to a fleet of autonomous coding agents. My job moved up a level — from doing the wor...
