Whiteboard interviews have quite a reputation in the software development community. Dreaded by most, many companies use intense “LeetCode” style questions, designed to test for depth of algorithmic knowledge. Most of the time, this style of interview can result in those who have only spent time gri...

Didn’t call super() __init__ in your Python class? Attributes normally set on the parent won’t be on the child! The post Python inheritance: Skipping super().__init__ loses parent attributes appeared first on LernerPython.

Between two adjacent lines, indentation may grow by one unit only, but may shrink by any number of units — a rule that resolves most code formatting disputes.

While I mess with a bunch of different agentic coding setups, Claude Code is my daily driver when I want to be productive. At some point, pasting images into Claude Code was working fine for me on Linux, then it stopped. Honestly don't remember when, but I'm guessing it may have been when I switched...

Starting more agents is easy now. However, more agents running doesn't mean more of you available - your cognitive bandwidth doesn't parallelize. All the judgement to actually steer them and merge the code they write into the codebase still has to route through exactly one serial processor which is ...

Immutable releases, a new build target for Node.js, dockers_v2 graduating out of experimental, and the legacy brews config finally getting the boot.

Pi is now part of Earendil, but in the important sense it is still Mario’s project. He has been living with its issue tracker longer than I have, and he has been exposed to the weirdness of the new form of agent traffic in Open Source projects for longer too. This post is mostly a reflection of my o...

There’s a lot of talk about growing as makers. While individual contribution can be beneficial, it’s important to highlight and lift up the work your teammates are doing. It’s important for strengthening client relationships, reducing silos, and bringing your fellow workers’ strengths to light. We’r...

In May 2026, we are now five months post-Opus-4.5 and the great “Christmas Break Revolution” that saw us all hunkered down in front of our laptops over the new year. I’m now about nine to twelve months into not writing code by hand anymore. I more or less spend 100% of my time that I used to spend t...

A website deployment should not feel like a risky final step. It should be a repeatable process that lets you test, review, approve, and release changes with fewer surprises. This is the main reason teams use a staging-to-production workflow. In this setup, staging acts as a safe testing space, whil...

Here are some more whimsical OEIS sequences I came across. XKCD 2016 joked that “OEIS keeps rejecting my submissions,” including one that gives “Integers in increasing order of width when printed in Helvetica.” Well, two days after that comic was published (2018-07-09), Hugo Pfoertner published A316...

Experiments in agentic engineering and AI-driven development

Josh Comeau shares a thoughtful take on AI, arguing that deep technical skill becomes more valuable, not less, as these tools improve. His point is that strong developers can use AI to amplify their work, while less experienced builders still struggle without solid architectural judgment. Read more
