Welcome to my blog! I write about things I find interesting. {{ posts }}...
1 I had fun teaching a very small LLM how to add numbers together this weekend. I followed this Prime Intellect task-set tutorial quite closely, but I recommend messing around with Prime first, since it takes a hot minute to learn all the terminology and how the Verifiers library works. Qwen 3.5 0.8B is a tiny LLM. It fits into about 2 GB and can run on your laptop. It's...not very smart. Here is…
A software engineer’s account of LLMs eroding their career. The only way out for keeping my employability in the long-term now seems to be shifting my domain expertise to something LLMs will not get good at so easily. But what's left? These blogposts will become more and more common as developers who are indexed on domain expertise are slowly commoditised by LLMs. I suspect the long-term skills…
Recently I have been experimenting with unusual methods of using LLMs. This all started when I read a tweet (currently lost somewhere in my bookmarks) about a developer's process where he asked Claude to generate detailed implementation plans for large projects before bed. In the morning Claude would have gathered all the context and created a plan. He would very loosely follow this plan, but it…
Introduction. Codebase indexing is very commonplace. You load up a repo in Cursor, and then it breaks up your code and stores it into a vector DB. This powers the semantic search Cursor does, where it uses natural language search on your codebase, like: "How does the logging system work?". This looked like an interesting project to build out as a CLI tool. Luckily, Cursor provides a fairly…
1. Intro. I love the Godot game engine. I (think?) I love Neovim...I am still learning it. What I would really love is if they worked well together! I have a bunch of requirements: Autocomplete. The (fantastic) Godot documentation must be readable in Neovim. I can run a Godot scene from Neovim. I found several blog posts on the subject, but none of them fully fulfilled my requirements. Fear not, I…
