ELI6 Movies is a free streaming platform — films, shows, and anime. No sign-up wall, no ads, no subscription. You open it and things play.
I wanted to prove you don't need React, a paid CDN, or $15/month to deliver a decent streaming experience.
The current wave of AI development is undergoing a massive paradigm shift. We are rapidly moving past simple "prompt wrapper" applications and entering the era of fully autonomous, agentic systems.
Yet, if you’ve tried to build an AI agent for a production environment, you’ve likely run into a frustrating wall. You write a comprehensive system prompt, equip your agent with a few API to...
The alert says: "Database pool exhausted. P95: 2847ms."You know what broke. You don't know why.
So you open your git log, check when the spike started, scroll through commits, and try to figure out what changed in the 10 minutes before everything went sideways.

Passive consumption gives us the illusion of competence. Real growth, however, requires friction. It requires active learning and hands-on coding pr...
Six months ago I shipped an AI quiz that matches aspiring founders to a business idea they can actually build. The matcher only works if the underlying idea library is large, fresh, and not full of slop. So I had to build the pipeline that fills it.
This post walks through the real architecture: prompt design, the validation gate, the day it silently produced zero ideas for 48 hours, an...
