#Ai-Coding
I Went Looking for Real-World AI Agent Examples. They're Rare.
Most AI agent demos are toy weather bots. I hunted for real, production agents built with LangGraph, CrewAI and the Claude Agent SDK — here’s what actually exists.
Five Books Taught Me to Build AI Agents. All Five Quietly Told Me Not To.
Four Manning books and Reddit’s top threads agree: an AI agent is just an LLM, tools, and a loop. The hard part — and the only skill worth building — is the rest.
The "MCP Is Dead" Fight Is a Category Error
MCP vs Skills vs CLI, fact-checked. The context and cross-vendor cases for MCP both died in 2025 — here’s the one place MCP still wins, and when to skip it.
How to Build a SaaS with Claude Code in a Weekend (Not a Quarter)
How I build SaaS solo with Claude Code: what to build, the Max plan, specs, context engineering with beads, and deploying with Kamal. A weekend, not a quarter.
Claude Overreaches. Codex Underreaches. I'm Still Figuring Out How to Use Both.
After a Claude outage left me shipping nothing, I added Codex. Here’s why running both AI coding agents beats picking one — and what I’m still figuring out.
My Agent Runs 10 Cron Jobs. Three of Them Are Worth the Electricity.
My always-on AI agent has ten cron jobs. Six of them went silent weeks ago and I hadn’t noticed. Here’s what the logs actually said.
Your CLAUDE.md Is Making Claude Dumber
ETH Zurich research shows bloated CLAUDE.md files reduce AI coding performance and increase costs. Here’s what to keep, what to kill, and why 60 lines beats 800.
Your SaaS Audience Doubled. Half of Them Are AI Agents.
Build MCP-First SaaS: The Dashboard Is Just a View
Will Vibe Coding Replace Developers? COBOL Already Tried.
Last month I spent about forty minutes arguing with Claude Code about a rate limiter. Not debugging a rate limiter. Not implementing one. Arguing. I had typed “add a usage limit to the free tier” and gotten back something that technically worked — it counted things and stopped you when you hit the limit — but was also completely wrong in about six different ways that I hadn’t specified because I hadn’t thought to specify them.
What Chinese Factories Taught Me About Prompting Claude Code
Anything you don’t specify will be done at minimum cost
Why Your MCP Server Will Die in Obscurity
The reason Claude ignores your MCP server has nothing to do with your code.
What Happens When You Let 6 AI Agents Write Code at the Same Time
A field report from the bleeding edge of AI-assisted development
I Built 2 SaaS Products Vibe Coding. Here's the System That Made It Work.
Context hygiene, mise en place, and why your wife is always right.
Your Code Quality Doesn't Matter Anymore (And It Never Did)
The uncomfortable truth about what actually makes SaaS defensible.
90% of Programming Skills Just Got Commoditized. The Other 10% Is Worth 1000X More.
There’s a new layer between you and your code. It has no manual.
Clean Code Is Dead. Long Live Clean Specs.
Your Code Has a New Audience, and It’s Not Human
The Invisible Tax You Pay When You Vibe Code
Comprehension Debt Is Real, and It’s Compounding
Your MCP Servers Are Eating Your Context
Mine were too. Then I found this.
I Watched AI Generate a Perfect Todo App in 3 Minutes. Then I Spent 3 Days Fixing It.
AI generated a working app in 3 minutes. I spent 3 days rebuilding it. Not because the AI failed—because I didn’t specify what I actually needed. Here are the 8 questions I should have asked first.
10 Ways to Waste Time and Money with AI Agents: A Field Guide to Self-Sabotage
Money spent is obvious—we burn through tokens like a hedge fund manager through investor capital, exhausting our weekly quotas by Tuesday. Time, however, is subtle and invisible. Something I call the Anti-AI Paradox: that creeping realization that you could have hand-coded the entire feature in half the time it took to “collaborate” with your AI assistant. Let me save you some grief. 1. Being Super Vague AI models are getting smarter by the day. But they can’t read tea leaves like some digital oracle you summoned from Silicon Valley. “My ‘Schedule’ button isn’t scheduling the post.” Sure, Einstein. I can see that. Revolutionary observation.
