Is coding dead? No, it's just being compressed.

In the age of AI agents, source code is becoming an ephemeral artifact—decompressed from high-entropy prompts.

🎭 I fired the Director. The AI started writing itself.

"In Search of an Author" — multi-agent system where story emerges from character interactions, not central control.

Finally running native CP/M 3.0 on the Commodore 128! 💾

The Hardware way, a real benchmark for the system!

Converting an AI-Generated image (nanobanana in this case) into a 3D-printable model is easy using:

Blender, Cura3D, and a good 3D Printer

Stop giving AI agents "eyes" to click buttons. Give them terminals.

Visual agents = 20 years of RPA fragility + hallucinations.
Blind agents = 100% success rate in my tests.

The future is headless.

Frontier models design the agent.

Smaller models (30B-120B) do the work.

Deterministic tools guarantee consistency.

Bigger isn't better. Smarter is.

Dug up my old hobby manga drawings from years back. I've been using nanobanana to give them a professional upgrade, and the results are incredible.

Years ago, I used to draw manga just for fun. Recently, I dug up some of my old art and started using nanobanana to enhance it. The results are honestly remarkable!

Here is a comparison of the original sketch vs. the improved version. 🎨✨

Pacman for Commodore 64. Fully playable. Generated entirely by an AI agent, Sprite enabled. Code on GitHub.

This is what I mean by AI-generated retro games — real code, real hardware, real fun.

Windows 98 reimagined. 3dfx Banshee, Pentium II 400, Sound Blaster Live. System on CompactFlash, Pico-PSU, open acrylic case. Lightweight, silent, no vibrations. Quake 2 with Glide still hits different.
