**2026**

- [How I Cut My Coding-Agent Token Bill by 90%](/coding-agent-tokens) (Sep 2026 · Original · Developer Experience): Coding-agent tokens add up fast when the harness ships 33k of overhead before your prompt. Here's the context hygiene that cut my bill without hurting output.
- [Biome Replaced ESLint and Prettier in My Setup](/biome-eslint-prettier) (Sep 2026 · Original · JavaScript): Biome 2.5 replaced ESLint and Prettier in my setup with one biome.json. A real config, the migration commands, and the honest gaps I still hit.
- [Regulatory Capture Is the Real AI Safety Play](/ai-regulatory-capture) (Sep 2026 · Original · Opinion): The AI regulatory capture playbook is simple: hype the danger, ask to be licensed, and price out anyone smaller. Meanwhile open-weight labs ship faster.
- [What Python 3.15 Changes, and What to Test Now](/python-3-15-changes) (Sep 2026 · Original · Engineering): The Python 3.15 changes worth testing on the release candidate now: free-threading progress, lazy imports via PEP 810, and UTF-8 as the default.
- [fd 10.5 Is the find Replacement Worth Memorizing](/fd-find-replacement) (Aug 2026 · Original · TIL): fd 10.5.0 landed on 26 August 2026 with --ignore-parent, --exact and escape-sequence hardening. The fd find replacement flags actually worth committing to memory.
- [The Tradeoffs Async/Await Hides From You](/async-await-tradeoffs) (Aug 2026 · Original · JavaScript): The async await tradeoffs are real: colored functions, hidden scheduling, and error propagation that surprises you. A look at what the keyword actually hides.
- [AI Safety Became a Marketing Department](/ai-safety-marketing) (Aug 2026 · Original · Opinion): The frontier labs turned real AI safety language into marketing: scary demos on launch day, consciousness-adjacent research posts, and risk framed as a feature.
- [The Case for a Keyboard-Driven Workflow](/keyboard-driven-workflow) (Aug 2026 · Original · Opinion): The CLI tools and shortcuts behind a keyboard-driven workflow that cut my mouse use to almost nothing, and the two places the mouse still wins outright.
- [When Python Case Folding Becomes a Security Bug](/python-case-folding) (Aug 2026 · Original · Security): Python case folding with str.lower() and casefold() can quietly turn a string check into an auth bypass. A concrete Unicode footgun, and the fix.
- [Node 26.8 Put Syntax Highlighting in the REPL](/node-repl-highlighting) (Aug 2026 · Original · JavaScript): Node.js 26.8 added syntax highlighting to the REPL, so the interactive prompt now colours your code as you type it. A small node repl highlighting win worth having.
