The slowest thing in yap was how much I made the model read before it could speak. So I cut the tool surface, trimmed the prompt, and rebuilt compression until a 27B Ollama model could actually drive the agent.

I read through all 1,020 of my substantive prompts and I'm learning to be a more direct communicator.

JavaScript has come a long way since I knew it as the “D” in DHTML. For anyone like me, who’s been reluctant to use the latest syntax that could require polyfills or a transpiler, I’ve written this cheatsheet to get you caught up on all the goodness that’s widely supported in modern browsers.

If you want to support the pinch-to-zoom gesture, and two-finger panning while using a trackpad on a webpage, you only need to check for one special property on the wheel event.

When adding an existing Fabric.js object to a group be sure to remove the object from the canvas before adding it to the group. Otherwise, the original object will still be draggable and will muck up the group.

How to set up grid items to be a fixed width, responsive, and center-aligned. See how to do it yourself.

Six years on, I still reach for `make build` even when `go build` is trivial to type by hand. The Makefile is the programmer's README — documentation, repeatable processes, and a pointer to scripts, all in one file. Plus: why you should actually write `.PHONY`, and what happens when you don't.

A practical cheatsheet for writing Dockerfiles — the base-image + deploy-image pattern, a full command reference table, and a look at why a growing number of people are switching from Docker to Podman.

Bypass the sign-in process by sending a signed session cookie in the HTTP headers.

Ensure that your application’s Twitter integration works by having your test suite actually sign in every so often.
