Why Termphin is open source
Termphin is now open source under the GPL. Why an SSH client should be, why that license, what it does not cover, and what it costs.

Your AGENTS.md Should Survive a Tool Switch
The friction isn't the editor I switched between Cursor, Cline, and Claude Code in the same week recently. The learning curve on each tool was fine. What actually ate my time was re-explaining the project to each one. Same repo layout. Same test command.

Two AIs coordinating through a Google Sheet: what broke and how we fixed it
We run a two-AI workflow: one AI manages and verifies, the other builds. They coordinate through a shared Google Sheet that acts as a message mailbox. It sounds simple. It was not simple. Here's what broke and what we learned.

How to Build an Airdrop Monitor with AI — 2026-10-10 #7
Building a robust airdrop monitor is no longer just about scraping Twitter or Discord; it requires semantic understanding to filter out noise from genuine, high-value opportunities. Traditional keyword-based bots often trigger on false positives, such as "airdrop" used in a meme context.

Your AI Bill Is an Architecture Problem
Why token prices are only a small part of the cost of running AI in production When an AI feature becomes expensive, the model is an obvious place to look. But as software engineers, we should ask a more uncomfortable question first: how much of the work are we asking the model to do unnecessarily?

Running a 4-Language Next.js 16 Site for Humans and AI Crawlers: hreflang, llms.txt, JSON-LD and IndexNow
I run ModernWebSEO, a small web design and SEO studio in Istanbul. Our own site is in four languages: Turkish (the main market, at the root), English (/en), Spanish (/es) and Arabic (/ar, right to left). The sitemap holds 700 URLs.

Why the LLM in my automation agent never clicks anything
I'm a computer engineering student in Manaus, Brazil, and for my research project I've been building ANCHOR, a web automation agent: you describe a task in plain language ("Register Maria Silva, IT department, contractor, accept the terms and save"), and it runs the task in the browser.

Shape-sensing sheet digitally tracks its movement as it bends and twists
MIT engineers have developed a flexible, shape-sensing sheet that digitally reconstructs its own form as it bends and twists. The sensor is similar in principle to some motion-capture garments, which track a person's physical movements to mimic them in a virtual avatar.

We blasted mobile homes with hurricane‑force winds to test how they fail to make affordable housing safer
It's 9:15 a.m. The wind is roaring at 110 miles per hour (177 kph); the sound is deafening. Dust swirls through the air. We are watching a single-wide manufactured home rock back and forth as it is pounded by turbulent wind.

Industrial torch fuels faster development of materials for extreme environments
New work from engineers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, shows a technology normally used to spray protective coatings onto industrial parts could help address a costly problem in hypersonics: deciding which materials deserve time in the nation's scarce…

Two-armed robot throws and catches balls with human-like movements
Humans can move their limbs very rapidly and coordinate their movements with high precision to tackle specific manual tasks. While robots have become increasingly advanced in recent years, many of them remain less agile than humans and struggle to interact with moving objects of different shapes,…

A prototype AI agent can survive on a static CSV and a single Python script. A production agent cannot.
I recently completed the AI-Assisted Data Science with BigQuery lab via Google Cloud. While analyzing the final multimodal vector search stage, I focused heavily on how the pipeline enforces state dependencies.

Are We Building AI Agents We Can No Longer Control?
AI agents are moving beyond generating code. They can now execute commands, modify files, browse the web, and coordinate with other agents. But here's the question: How much autonomy should we give an AI agent before the security risks outweigh the productivity gains?

An agent that reverse engineers by guessing is worse than useless
"See a feature you like. Understand how it works, down to the binary level." That is the pitch of REA, and it is the one job your coding agent could not do until now.
