1 postAI Reverse Engineering: Is Adobe Dead?
In the same week, a dev dropped seven Adobe clones built with Claude, REA passed 100K stars promising to 'reverse engineer anything', and retro gaming got a new port every day. The viral conclusion: no binary is sacred, Adobe is dead, programmers are dead. I explain what each of these things actually does: PhotoCraft is an alpha with 800 open issues, REA is a toolbox that requires the binary and Ghidra, and retro moves fast because an 8 MB ROM turns into 135K lines of C. Rewriting Bun cost US$ 165K with the author and 64 agents; Photoshop doesn't even have an open binary in the parts that matter. Reverse engineering got easier. Magic still doesn't exist.

With frontier LLMs making fewer mistakes than most human devs, the only real excuse left for holding back a deploy is your own review process's bureaucracy. I use my open source projects, cross-platform CI/CD, and real contribution numbers to show how I've been doing this since February.

I posted that Harness Engineering, Loop Engineering, and Graph Engineering are bullshit to sell consulting hours and courses. Here's my receipt: 30+ public repos, an AI marathon, and a whole benchmark — none of it using any of those 'disciplines'.

1 postWhy LLMs Will Fail at Your Company
The deliberately speculative thesis is that LLMs amplify processes where people outsource decisions. The proposed alternative is daily cycles of decision, implementation, testing, and review close to the outcome.

1 postWrapping Up My AI Marathon: Success or Failure?
After more than 500 hours across 24 repositories, Akita ranks his experiments and concludes Codex and Claude Code support daily coding, but without review and XP, productivity turns into slop.
