Did I miss something in my writing?
What if your writing came with a built-in critic? Mine does. An AI finds the seams in my thinking and publishes them right next to the text.

A podcast that creates itself, in a different voice
My notes now become 5-minute podcast episodes overnight, written and voiced by a chain of AI agents. The episodes sometimes contradict my own thinking, which is exactly the point.

Claude knows FFmpeg, but it has no idea where the video is
Testing an AI video editor revealed that Claude writes flawless FFmpeg commands, but made assumptions around file system paths.

The manual is missing – we are writing it
The feeds make it easy to feel left behind when it comes to AI. But history proves the hype is usually louder than reality. Since there is no manual for this era, trying things and sharing even the mundane experiences could be useful. We are writing the manual.

The AI writes the code, but the team decides the direction
I have barely typed a single line of code at work for more than a year. Using LLMs and AI agent has changed a lot. But we still need the collaboration in a great team to make sure we go in the right direction.

RubyLLM
Every AI provider ships their own bloated client. Different APIs. Different response formats. Different conventions. It’s exhausting. RubyLLM gives you one beautiful API for all of them. Same interface whether you’re using GPT, Claude, or your local Ollama. Just three dependencies: Faraday, Zeitwerk, and Marcel. That’s it.rubyllm.com - 2026‑05‑21

Pair Programming in the Age of Agents
I’ve come to the conclusion though that what people call “pairing” with an LLM is more the illusion of pairing than the real thing. Ultimately, it’s more of a siren than an active collaborator. It’s nothing but your thoughts, reflected back off of a bazillion vectors. That’s not to say it’s necessarily a bad thing, but it’s not the same thing.mattwynne.net - More of my collected links...
