The author introduces **lulz**, a tiny visual‑programming language built on an ffmpeg filter‑graph that uses plain English‑named, single‑purpose functions so that AI can easily…
The author introduces “lulz,” a lightweight programming language inspired by ffmpeg’s filtergraph yet expressed through JavaScript‑style array syntax, where data flows are…
In this post the author argues that programming remains the key to escaping poverty, especially in an era where AI amplifies the power and reach of software—no longer needing…
The post shows that anyone can build simple VR worlds with just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (via A‑Frame), offering example code, step‑by‑step instructions, and resources to get…
Learning programming can be a joyful journey fueled by artificial intelligence, and the post outlines a practical setup with Node.js, Zed Code Editor, and a local AI assistant…
In this post the author explains how to build an efficient AI‑service using a simple push/pull pipeline that can be coded in roughly fifteen lines. The idea is that clients…
AI-generated code tends to be huge and unwieldy, so the post advocates switching to flow‑based programming—breaking apps into small, composable command units—to maintain control…
The post explains how the author has built a visual programming workflow that turns AI‑generated XML documents into live web components: a two‑step process where the user first…
The post guides you through setting up Node.js on your machine and building a simple command‑line “hello world” program that takes an argument to customize the greeting, using it…
The post describes a minimalist approach to building a static‑site generator by treating every operation as a simple command‑line word that can be chained or branched into…
I used colorful LEDs on Linux not to fear bricking but to learn, and in doing so I built “unbrick” – a project that reverses LED control logic and serves as a foundation for…
The post recounts the author’s journey from having no formal CS background to mastering RGB LED control on a computer through AI assistance. They discovered three channel sets of…
The author urges students to adopt local AI tools—especially Ollama and optimized models like llama.cpp or GPT‑OSS—to learn programming swiftly and independently from traditional…
Lena Meijer’s sleepless MIT cryptography grind turns into clarity when a chance hike on the Appalachian Trail leads her to the Phaistos Disc, where she discovers its bureaucratic…
Using NativeScript and an AI coding assistant, the post shows how to build a local network service that lets your own hardware send conversational commands to your Android phone,…
Modern phones send our every move to corporate clouds while AI both reveals and fixes software flaws, so the post invites devs to build local‑first, privacy‑respecting networks…
I began with a fascination for fine‑tuned 3D printing—first turning a simple wallet into a precision model and later experimenting with chamfered corners and elastic bands—then…
Programming in today’s AI‑driven world is a survival skill that can be mastered by letting an intelligent model write JavaScript for you and then tweaking the output—debugging…
The post celebrates “sessions” with artificial intelligence as a fast, effective way to build web applications—calling them a painter’s sitting or a musician’s session. It argues…
AI’s recent advances allow it to stitch together generic libraries into functional applications, as illustrated by combining a nine‑slice pixel slicer with a panner‑zoomer to…
I used an AI assistant to create a lightweight pan‑zoom wrapper and a pixel‑art image slicer as separate reusable web components, learning that clear division of responsibilities…
