Matthew 6:33–34 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. This is where the teaching ends. Yeshua (Jesus) has instructed us concerning mammon,… ## [Worthy Brief - 8/19/2026](https://worthybrief.com/newsletters/worthy-brief-08192026) _2026-08-19 · George Whitten · Worthy Brief_ Friend , you were made to grow under the Father's care! Matthew 6:27-32 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which… ## [Worthy Brief - 8/18/2026](https://worthybrief.com/newsletters/worthy-brief-08182026) _2026-08-18 · George Whitten · Worthy Brief_ Friend , you were made to walk free from worry! Matthew 6:25-26 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not… ## [Worthy Brief - 8/17/2026](https://worthybrief.com/newsletters/worthy-brief-08172026) _2026-08-17 · George Whitten · Worthy Brief_ Friend , you were made to serve the King! Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Yeshua (Jesus) ties it all together now: the treasure, the heart, the eye, all of it lands on this understanding — no one can serve two masters. This isn't a nice… ## [Worthy Brief - 8/14/2026](https://worthybrief.com/newsletters/worthy-brief-08142026) _2026-08-14 · George Whitten · Worthy Brief_ Friend , guard the eye that guide the heart! Matthew 6:22–23 The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Yeshua (Jesus) has just spoken of treasure -- telling His disciples not to store treasure… ## [Worthy Brief - 8/13/2026](https://worthybrief.com/newsletters/worthy-brief-08132026) _2026-08-13 · George Whitten · Worthy Brief_ Friend , where your treasure is! Matthew 6:19–21 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Isaiah 51:8 For the moth will eat them up like a… ## [Worthy Brief - 8/12/2026](https://worthybrief.com/newsletters/worthy-brief-08122026) _2026-08-12 · George Whitten · Worthy Brief_ Friend , your Abba knows! Matthew 6:16–18 Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance… but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. After the Lord’s prayer, Yeshua (Jesus) now turns to fasting, bringing the spiritual exercise of fasting inward. He has already spoken of giving and praying in secret. Now… ## [Migrating from Flickr to self-hosted Immich](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2026-08-11-flickr-to-immich-migration/) _2026-08-11 · Alex Savin_ I’ve been using Flickr since 2008. Since then I’ve accumulated: 26000 photos 800 albums 160 Gb of data My photography these days is mainly done on film. Which is to say, there isn’t that many new pictures coming in every day. But the film scans themselves are quite big in size and resolution, and I’d love to keep it that way. Flickr was a fine option for this sort of usage. ## [Worthy Brief - 8/11/2026](https://worthybrief.com/newsletters/worthy-brief-08112026) _2026-08-11 · George Whitten · Worthy Brief_ Friend , forgiven people forgive! Matthew 6:14–15 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Yeshua (Jesus) has just taught His disciples to pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Then, before He moves on, He comes right back to forgiveness.… ## [Worthy Brief - 8/10/2026](https://worthybrief.com/newsletters/worthy-brief-08102026) _2026-08-10 · George Whitten · Worthy Brief_ Friend , deliver us from the evil one! Matthew 6:13 And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Yeshua (Jesus) has taught us to pray as children before the Father, disciples surrendered to the Kingdom, dependent upon Him for our daily bread. He has taught us to forgive and to be forgiven. Now He brings… ## [Ultra-Quiet Business Mini (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/RzrRiC0ZQ5uk) _2026-08-09 · **Sponsored**_ Compact business mini, ultra-quiet for focused work. ## [Worthy Brief - 8/7/2026](https://worthybrief.com/newsletters/worthy-brief-08072026) _2026-08-07 · George Whitten · Worthy Brief_ Friend , lay down the ledger before it becomes your prison! Matthew 18:28-35 "But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!' 29 So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' 30 And he would not,… ## [A year with ZSA Voyager split keyboard](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2026-07-15-zsa-voyager-one-year/) _2026-07-15 · Alex Savin_ It’s been just over a year since I’ve migrated to Voyager as my main keyboard. As the name implies, it was a bit of a journey. Let me document it a bit. Repetitive strain injury is no joke. Along with bad vision this is one of the common injuries in our industry. I’ve been lucky enough to mostly evade it for the first 20 years of my professional career, but it is finally getting… ## [Living on a token budget](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2026-06-11-living-on-token-budget/) _2026-06-11 · Alex Savin_ Unlike a few lucky engineers enjoying tokenmaxxing, most of us are living within the constraints of a token budget. It might be small, it might be big, but it is likely there somewhere. As tokens are getting more expensive, ability to live and deliver within the budget will probably be the leading topic in hiring interviews. Here are a few hints, some more obvious than others, that help me month… ## [DNS over TLS](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2026-06-04-dns-over-tls/) _2026-06-04 · Alex Savin_ There are famously 3 stages of debugging networking issues. It can’t be DNS Surely it is not DNS? It was DNS DNS is not something we think of when browsing internet. It usually works fine, and is quite transparent. When connection is slow, it’s easier to blame on wifi / mobile signal, bandwidth issues, or server availability. DNS usually “just works”. It is however a… ## [On token usage](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2026-05-26-on-token-usage/) _2026-05-28 · Alex Savin_ I’ve been catching up on AI engineering talks from all the conferences that are happening as we speak. Thanks, by the way, for posting all the talks online for free. Last year we went collectively from chats with LLMs to semi-autonomous agents. This year the push seems to be “let your agent loose”. Claude is pushing for looped multi-agents environments. They’ve also… ## [One week with Claude Code on a legacy codebase](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2025-08-13-claude-code-for-a-week/) _2025-08-13 · Alex Savin_ If anything, I welcome our new AI overlords. They bring joy to my life of a software engineer. Claude Code is great, but with some asterisks. Git and pull requests Claude is amazing with terminal, and that includes Git. Combined with the GitHub CLI gh tool, Claude knows how to check for recent changes, write a great commit message, push changes, and if that fails, rebase your changes. Then, create… ## [We Are Developers 2025 - conference in Berlin](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2025-07-28-we-are-developers/) _2025-07-28 · Alex Savin_ I’m calling this a conference, but with 15000 attendees and 500 speakers it wasn’t something I was truly prepared for. It was big, took a good chunk of a massive historical exhibition hub of West Berlin, and offered something like 15 simultaneous tracks in addition to 2 massive floors of exhibitions with their own mini talks and demos. I’ve been to a similar scale dev events in… ## [Agentic development](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2025-07-21-agentic-development/) _2025-07-21 · Alex Savin_ If I had to pick one takeaway from the massive dev conference in Berlin last week it’ll be - adopt agentic product development or go out of business. It might not be that dramatic if you are a massive corporation with a unique know-how, or if you are in a unique business niche. But for a generic product company it’ll be exactly that. Agentic development, end to end, from product specs… ## [Bottle deposits and the pit of success](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2025-07-14-bottle-deposits/) _2025-07-14 · Alex Savin_ I’m in Berlin this week, and one thing I want to write about is bottle deposits. See, in Germany when you buy bottled drinks, a deposit price is applied on top. By returning said bottle, you get your deposit back. Usually it is around 0.25€ for a small bottle, which is not nothing. This deposit applies to glass bottles, as well as plastic ones. Even thin plastic bottles of chocolate milk -… ## [Listen to the engine noise](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2024-10-29-listen-to-engine-noise/) _2024-10-29 · Alex Savin_ Sometimes getting your change all the way to production feels like crossing a finishing line after a marathon. Massive fanfares, you’ve made it all the way to the user. Time to get a cup of tea and pick up next JIRA ticket. When a company is small, or tech stack is young, or all of the above, pushing changes to live is a breeze. No one yet discovered Husky git hooks, or had time to set them… ## [Try Before You Buy, Risk-Free (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/gTP5Lx7aHGj0) _2024-10-29 · **Sponsored**_ Free trial hosting plus refunds processed in 12-24 hours, guaranteed. ## [Tech startups scene in the UK - and Tom Blomfield](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2024-10-18-uk-tech-startups/) _2024-10-18 · Alex Savin_ Tom Blomfield is a bit of a legend here in the UK. In 2016 he founded Monzo bank - digital-first bank with iOS app and no website. Their very first offices were right around the corner from ours at Old Street in Shoreditch, and this is probably why I got my very first Monzo (back then called “Mondo”) bank card back in December 2016. Last week Tom tweeted the above - he has since… ## [Oodi - a public library in Helsinki](https://alexsavin.me/posts/2024-10-06-oodi-public-library/) _2024-10-06 · Alex Savin_ I’m a huge fan of public libraries. This is one of the best things we’ve invented as a humanity - somewhere among the likes of sliced bread and cat memes. Oodi is of course a unique place that has been widely posted about, but only this year I’ve had a chance to visit it. So, without further introduction, let me give you a tour of Oodi. Oodi the central library of Helsinki is…
