Orchid is a delightfully retro and approachable hipster synth

In 2017, I bought an old Magnus chord organ off Craigslist for $10. It's one of my favorite music gear purchases. Electric chord organs let you play full chords with just a press of a button, making them perfect for aspiring singer-songwriters or fooling around at home. But chord organs largely fell out of favor […]

Building Your First AI Agent with .NET and Azure AI Foundry

If you're a .NET developer looking to break into AI engineering, agents are the single best place to start. They're the point where "calling an LLM API" turns into "building a system that reasons, uses tools, and takes action" — and Azure AI Foundry Agent Service, paired with .NET, makes this surprisingly approachable. In this post, I'll walk through exactly how to stand up your first agent end-to-end — from the Azure side setup to the actual C# code — and share the full walkthrough in video ...

How Do You Evaluate People Who Are "Good at AI"? The ABCD2 Framework

Try asking this in your next team meeting: "Who on our team is the best at using AI?" There will probably be a moment of silence. Someone thinks of the person who uses the tools the most. Someone thinks of the person who's good with prompts. Someone thinks of whoever recently produced something impressive-looking with AI. But none of these answers feels convincing. There's a gut sense that something is off — and yet nobody knows what the right criterion would be. Nearly every company is st...

How I Let an AI Agent Save a Draft on DEV

Reading a public website and changing something inside a signed-in account are not the same kind of job. I wanted an AI agent to collect the first 10 Hacker News stories, explain how it gathered them, and place that work inside my DEV editor. Save the article as a draft. Do not publish it. The hard part was not finding the stories. It was giving the agent enough access to finish inside my signed-in account without giving it permission to publish. That instruction contained two jo...

Building SmartStock AI: An AI-Powered Inventory Management Platform with Django, LangChain & Multi-Agent Workflows

Over the past few months, I've been exploring how AI can move beyond chatbots and become an active part of business workflows. That journey led me to build SmartStock AI , an inventory management platform that combines modern web technologies with AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), demand forecasting, and automation. Instead of only tracking inventory, SmartStock AI helps businesses make proactive decisions. What SmartStock AI Can Do 🤖 Forecast future produ...

TypeScript Generic Constraints in Depth: `extends`, `keyof`, and the Patterns That Prevent Runtime Errors

TypeScript Generic Constraints in Depth: extends , keyof , and the Patterns That Prevent Runtime Errors This article was written with the assistance of AI, under human supervision and review. Most TypeScript runtime errors stem from unconstrained generics that accept anything and crash on nothing. Teams write function get<T>(obj: T, key: string) and ship code that compiles cleanly but throws Cannot read property 'undefined' of undefined in production. The compiler stays ...

The Archive Multiplier: Why eth_call at a Historical Block

TL;DR: Passing a historical blockNumber to eth_call , eth_getBalance or eth_getLogs silently routes your request to the archive tier of hosted RPC providers. In our production metrics, archive calls cost on average 26.7x more compute units than the same call at latest . This post explains why, shows the exact client code pattern that triggers it, and gives you three Prometheus queries to measure your own archive exposure in under a minute. Full cross provider measurements are publishe...

I Built an Architecture Intelligence Tool for React & Next.js During the OpenAI Build Week Hackathon

Over the weekend, I participated in the OpenAI Build Week Hackathon with a simple goal: Build something I would actually use as a developer. By Friday evening, I had an idea. By Sunday, that idea became an open source project called Arcovia . It wasn't just another AI coding experiment. I wanted to solve a problem I've faced while working on large React applications for years. The Problem We have excellent tools for code quality. ESLint catches code sme...

The Difference Between a Review and an Advert

The line between editorial content and paid promotion has been eroding for years. On most major retail platforms, in countless lifestyle publications and across the breadth of social media, content that presents itself as independent assessment is frequently underwritten by the very brands being assessed. This is not a new problem, but it is a worsening one. The consequences are practical. Consumers who believe they are reading a review and acting accordingly may be making purchasing decision...

DevLog #1: Re-entering the Matrix after years away

I’ve been out of context with my computer science degree for years, and honestly, it feels overwhelming. I want to change that, so I'm starting this log to document my comeback story, my failures, and my progress. What I did today: Acknowledged the starting line. Took 10 minutes to think about where I left off and what I need to tackle first. Decided to write daily logs. This is not my first attempt to finish the degree, but hopefully with some public eyes on it, it will be t...

Skred is now a MIDI aware synth and drum machine construction kit

https://youtu.be/c6hJb0CYRmo?si=FhJRNCzNSdtMAiC- This video has a step-by-step demo of using Skred v0.50.0 as a synth and drum machine construction kit. The video shows a little of MIDI connection stuff too. For a MIDI "keyboard" here, I used a program called VMPK since it's on-screen and show what I hit versus how if affects Skred, but a real attached MIDI input device works too. Skred works on Linux, macOS, and MSWindows. There are precompiled versions of the CLI livecoding shell on...
