Dynamically updating infographics and content (so you don't have to)

I built a statistics site where every number updates itself. The harder half turned out to be the prose - so a Claude routine now reads the site against its data every morning. Here's how the whole thing works, and the patterns you can take for your own site.

How to Plan and Begin Your First AI-Assisted Coding Session

You don't need to know how to code to build something with AI - but the calm ten minutes you spend planning before you start is what keeps your first session from spiralling. Here's the whole thing, gently: what the tools are in 2026, how to plan, and exactly what your first session looks like.

How to Write a PRD an AI Can Build From (with a template)

A PRD is the difference between an AI coding tool that guesses and one that builds the thing you meant. Here's what a PRD is, a copyable seven-part template, a worked example, and the two lines that do most of the work - written for the era where the thing reading your spec is an agent, not just your engineering team.

How I work with Claude Code: PRD to deploy

I write the PRD, we agree an execution plan, pick the environment, get the keys out of the way, prototype, then test. Six steps, same order every time. Here's the real workflow with the files from two things I've shipped, and which model I hand each job to.

The best local coding setup isn't one model: how I route across Claude, Kimi and my own rig

The question I get asked is which local model is best for coding. Wrong question. The setup that works routes three tiers - Claude reasons, Kimi builds, and a Qwen coder on my own rig does the volume for nothing. Here's the whole thing, wired up.

Moving houtini-lm to vLLM: What I learned

I decommissioned Hopper (my local LLM bootstrapped server) and moved my local models to a two-card 4090 rig with vLLM on Docker. It's so much faster - but houtini-lm spat its dummy. Two bugs, one hiding behind the other, and how v3.2.1 fixes it.

From Chat to Deploy: How to Fully Understand Claude, AI Assistants and Claude Code

I started in the chat box like everyone else. Three years later the boring parts of my work run themselves, from PRD to deploy. This is the ladder, stage by stage, with a starter task for each rung.

Claude Code System Requirements (2026): Specs, Setup, Gotchas

In today's guide, we're setting up Claude Code on Mac, Windows and Linux in the forms it now ships in: the terminal CLI, the Code tab in the Claude Desktop app, and the VS Code and Cursor extension. The published spec, the install routes Anthropic recommends, Fable 5.1 on every paid plan, and why the machine matters less than the way you work.

AI for the CFO: variable cost, vendor sprawl, and the playbook that ends the surprise bill

Uber reportedly provisioned 5,000 engineers with Claude Code in December 2025. By April 2026 it had burned the entire annual AI budget in four months. Variable cost is the new shape of the AI line item, and the CFOs who are getting it under control are running the same four-lever playbook. Here is what is on each lever, which platforms are credible, and what to ship in the next ninety days.

A beginner's guide to Claude hooks

Claude Code hooks are small scripts that fire automatically at specific moments in a coding session. They give you deterministic control where CLAUDE.md instructions only get probabilistic compliance. This beginner's guide covers what hooks do, the five events you need to know, the exit-code gotcha that catches almost everyone, and the community projects worth installing before you write your own.

How to set up LM Studio: GPU offload, developer mode and your first local model

Turn a gaming GPU into a working local AI model with LM Studio - free, no billing, no API key. In today's guide, we install it, point it at the GPU, download a first model, and then go through the settings: GPU offload, context length, Flash Attention, temperature and top-k, and the Developer mode that unlocks them.

How I Cut My Claude Code Token Spend with Houtini LM (Architect, Drafter, QA)

I left Claude Code running overnight a few months back and winced at the token bill - most of it spent on work any competent model could handle. So I built Houtini LM: Claude stays the architect and the QA, a cheap local model does the drafting, and the bill drops as a side-effect. In today's post I'm showing how I run it on my own rig, what I delegate, and where it falls down.

The Best MCP Servers for Claude Code (2026)

Claude Code has been my main coding tool for over a year, and the MCP servers around it are what close its gaps - live documentation, your database, production errors, a cheap local model for the grunt work. In today's guide I'm walking through the stack I run every day, with the install order I'd use on a fresh setup.

Getting Started with Claude Desktop: a Beginner's Guide (2026)

In today's guide, we're starting from scratch with Claude Desktop: installing it, a quick tour of the app, the settings to change on day one, connecting Gmail and asking for an email summary, then Projects, context, files on your own hard drive, and how to do all of that safely.
