For the past few years, I've been working on web scraping and have had to use Because of this, I decided to bring them all together in one place: decoders/ kitdecoder.com Take a look and let me know what you think.
Monday is when agent fleets wake up hungry. New model defaults. New tool schemas. A coordinator that “helpfully” spawns three friends. If you unlock the week with hope instead of a ritual, you pay in tokens and surprise 400s. Here is a fail-closed Monday unlock I use as an editor of operator briefs — schemas first, permission second, spend third. Steal it. Fail-closed is simple: missing, unknown, or unvalidated ⇒ stop. Not “best-effort.” Not “the model will figure it out.” If a field is absent,
Takeaway up front: If your target list is company-specific, a frozen “top 100” grind is often the wrong loop. Cohort freshness — what this company is sending in this hiring wave — usually beats another pass through the same classic set. Hey — quick intro so you know what you’re following. This account is for SWE new grads, interns, and job seekers who are tired of treating interview prep like an infinite LeetCode treadmill.

This is the third entry in A Field Guide to GTK Widgets — a series about which widget to reach for, when, and what bites you when you do. We're jumping straight to lists, ahead of layout and navigation, because it's the material the reference documents worst. Each post stands on its own, and the complete, runnable code for this one lives in the companion repo. Say you're showing a handful of tasks. The obvious way to do it doesn't require reading any documentation at all: let list_box = gtk::Lis
When OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis, and SpaceX head Elon Musk loosely agreed over the weekend to slow down AI development, skeptics spotted an ulterior motive immediately. The AI titans had declared that their aim was to "pace the frontier," signing on at least partially to a proposal for embedding third-party auditors, regulating domestic labs, and reaching a global slowdown agreement. Their critics, however, argued they simply wante
It happened during a quiet Friday sermon at the mosque. The room was hushed, filled with the soft hum of devotion, when a piercingly loud notification chime erupted from a phone in the front row. The owner scrambled to silence it, visibly flustered, his face turning beet red as heads turned in irritation. That moment wasn't just a nuisance; it was a profound social disruption. I sat there wondering why, in an era where our phones are capable of processing millions of instructions per second, the
Hey everyone, I’ve been building Craftfolio, a tool for creating developer portfolios and resumes. I started it mainly as a way to push myself beyond smaller coding projects and build something that could actually be useful to other developers. Some of the things I’ve built into it include live previews, importing content, different portfolio styles, HTML export, and PDF printing. I’m still working on it, and I’m particularly interested in feedback on the UI, overall experience, and what you thi
