EPL GW25: Winners And Losers

Every gameweek these days seems to contain a match of immense consequences, and this one was no different. Liverpool faced Manchester City in a game that had immense consequences for the title race as well as the race to secure the last Champions League qualification spot. Nottingham vs Leeds was another game with immense consequences at the opposite end of the table as both teams fight to secure survival and another season of Premier League football. And in the middle of the table, we had ga...

The 101 Of Smart Contracts

Imagine you could write down a simple set of rules for your services or products that no one could quietly edit later or take away from you. Now imagine that rule doesn't live in a platform’s closed backend or in your notebook, but inside a tiny program that runs the same way for everyone, anywhere in the world. The program automatically checks: did a person pay, does the set time window still apply, has this item already been claimed? If the answers match your rule, it grants access or marks...

The unbundling of the home

I have never rented a self-storage unit. I have stored things at my parents' places during certain periods of my life, such as when I moved to the US for grad school, but as a general rule, I never seem to conclude that I have too much stuff and that I should maybe rent some storage. However, I do on occasion fantasize about having a garage or large "man cave" where I could store an assortment of exotic snowboards, bicycles, and other life essentials. Who doesn't, right? In any event, I seem ...

The (potential) fall of Discord – LittleBit

Hey everyone, Bit here. Seems like tech companies can’t get enough of being public enemy #1, eh? From “AI-first” to age verification, there are so many things that are shooting companies’ reputations in the foot. This time, we have Discord on track to introduce age verification. Basically, they’re going to make it where all accounts will lose access to communities marked as age restricted unless they go through AI selfie verification or ID verification. Discord took to Twitter to tell people ...

Introducing Co-Builds by Build First

Over the past year, we’ve trained 1,000+ people in AI through Build First workshops and hackathons. After almost every session, the same question came up: “This was great. But I have this specific thing I’ve been wanting to build for my company or business. How do I actually build that?” At first, we said no, Build First isn’t an outsourced dev shop. But around the same time, I noticed something else happening. More friends (operators, founders, even educators) started opting out of full-time...

Seventeen Candles, Quiet Joy

On February 8th, my son Sheamus turned 17. Seventeen feels like a tall number. It stands there, shoulders back, almost adult-sized, asking you to notice the years that carried you here. We kept it simple. We always do. The small party happened on Saturday, the day before his actual birthday. Just the circle that matters most. Me, Sheamus, and my mom, his grandma. No crowd noise, no pressure, no forced smiles. Just comfort, familiarity, and the kind of calm that lets an autistic teen actually ...

Patience is a virtue

A closed-end real estate fund is an investment vehicle with a finite life (call it anywhere from 5 to 12 years, plus extension options). These types of funds have a specific timeframe for raising capital, investing, harvesting the investments they have made, and then distributing proceeds to investors. This is in contrast to an open-ended fund, also known as an "evergreen" fund, which has an infinite life and can accept investments throughout its lifespan. As a result of these differences, cl...

The Best UI is no UI

The world completely changed on November 24, 2025 with the release of Claude Opus 4.5, specifically when used in Claude Code. Not in some fun imagine-the-future way, but in an immediate, jaw-dropping way. I didn't use Claude Code until late December 2025, but when I did it felt like magic. Developers became 10x faster and 10x more people could now be developers. The knowledge required to produce software is no longer programming and reading docs. It's been reduced to clearly articulating what...

Immigration and Cheating in American Culture

I am an immigrant, which has given me a profound appreciation of the interplay between culture and immigration. My first time in the United States was as an exchange student in Rochester, Minnesota. I was a junior at John Marshall High School. Early into the school year, some students missed an exam and I was told they would be given the same exam as make-up a week later. I was flabbergasted. Obviously they would get perfect scores because other students would tell them what was on the exam! ...

Computer Science in the Age of AI

As someone who built a satisfying and successful career around computer science and software, I’ve wanted nothing but for my kids to follow in my footsteps. And when they finally reach the age where they are choosing what to study in college, they’re being told to avoid it! Part of the reason is obvious. Humans won’t be coding anymore because AI will write all the code, so why would someone choose to study Computer Science when it prepares you for jobs that won’t exist anymore? I’m seeing the...
