AI fills the gaps. Just not at depth
Last month, a Cloudflare engineer used AI to rebuild a major open-source project in under a week. Cost about $1,100. It shipped to production. Around the same time, a different Cloudflare team used AI to fork another project and silently stripped out the security protections the original maintainers had spent years adding. That also shipped....1
When the Autocomplete Changes Its Mind
Tailwind usage is at an all-time high. Revenue is down 80%. Documentation traffic dropped 40% over two years. AI didn't kill Tailwind. AI now picks Tailwind. Every prompt. Every team. Without anyone choosing. And the moment it picks something else, every codebase built on top of that decision is on its own. "75% of the...1

So I Put My AI Skills in a Marketplace
Everyone's building custom skills for their AI coding assistants right now. Commit helpers, linting rules, project scaffolding. Little markdown files that make Claude Code do things your way instead of the default way. I've been doing the same thing. But the more skills I wrote, the more I wanted them to follow me between machines...1
Three AIs Missed It. One Human Didn’t
I had done everything right. Or at least, everything the current playbook says to do. Used AI to fill the gaps, reviewed it myself, then handed it off to more AI. This past week, I got handed a project that required backend work. Not because I have backend experience - I don't, really - but...1
