I am Samuel Umoren. I am passionate about AI engineering, software architecture, and computer engineering in general. I build AI systems that solve rea...
A delegated externally owned account (EOA) starts with 11 MON and sends out 2 MON. For this delegated-account path, Monad's MIP-4 reserve signal should change from false to true once the balance reaches 9 MON. Monad Testnet reports the dip. The anvil --monad integration suite reports it too. Forge on my installed 1.5.0-stable-monad build keeps returning false . This mismatch surfaced while I was…
Most small teams say they want to stay close to the market. The constraint is attention. At Klysera, the market conversation we care about moves across several places: X threads, engineering blogs, founder essays, hiring reports, and research feeds. People write about AI-native engineering teams. They talk about changing hiring signals, startup operating systems, and what technical leaders now…
Today when i opened my VS code to work, it took 3min for my terminal to open and VS Code kept crashing. My Codex setup (i use the plugin on vs code) crashed multiple times too. At that point, i knew a maintenance session is due. So i started tuning my WSL setup because the machine was beginning to feel heavier than it should. During this session, i used claude code to debug from my root (~) on…
When I used to write for Draft.dev, one thing my editors kept training out of me was vagueness. My editor then, Shane, once gave me a simple rule: If you use a word like “ideal,” don’t leave it floating. Name what is ideal. Show the evidence. That advice still explains why a lot of AI prose feels fake deep today. Lemme show you something. Look at this sentence: “You can laugh with people all day…
Supply chain attacks do not wait until production. They can run on a developer laptop during npm install , inside a CI job during npm ci , or inside an agent workspace when an LLM follows a package installation instruction too quickly. That is the reason to put a firewall in front of package managers. The goal is simple: before a package artifact reaches the machine, check whether it is known…
Teaching is one of the greatest acts of love. There is a thing I do when a class goes dull. You can feel and see it happen: when the kids stop responding to prompts, when their hands start wandering across the table, or when their faces are looking at you, but they are no longer present in the moment. I call it Jumpology . The goal is to loosen them up and bring them back to the room. I tell them…
Three years. That's how long I spent trying to get writing out of a language model that didn't read like a language model wrote it. Custom system prompts, voice DNA documents, anti-pattern databases with 20 documented failure modes, style guides that ran longer than the articles they were supposed to produce. I catalogued vocabulary tics down to the em dash frequency ratio (AI drops one every 55…
I saw the Moltbot thing blow up over the weekend. By Sunday, Best Buy had sold out of Mac minis in San Francisco because people were buying dedicated machines to run this thing 24/7. On Monday morning, security researchers were screaming into the void. I have been thinking about it since then, so here is what is on my mind. It's just multi-agent collaboration I wrote about this exact thing in my…
i've noticed the current lax nature of data security consciousness and it's incredibly scary. obviously, i'm not the first early 2010s nerd to write a blog or vlog script about this madness and the apocalyptic disaster that's coming. but i feel it's essential i register my name to that list. i need to show my kids, decades from now, that i saw it coming. maybe this will be one of thousands of…
Motor is deprecated. As of May 14, 2025, MongoDB officially deprecated Motor in favor of PyMongo 4.9's native async API. Motor will receive only bug fixes until it reaches end-of-life on May 14, 2026. After that, critical fixes only until May 14, 2027. If you're building new Python applications that talk to MongoDB asynchronously, you need PyMongo's native async driver. If you're maintaining…
