Why I made this Before I got into coding, I cooked for 12 years. In a kitchen you’ve always got a bunch of tickets going at once, and every dish gets its own spot on the line so nothing gets…

Teaching your coding AI to remember: two kinds of memory, a short note you write (build and test commands, always and never rules, fixes you have said twice) and notes the AI saves about you.

October 17, 2026 By Troj Leave a comment AI

Most AI writes. Jev, a new model from TypeSafe AI, only decides, and it does it in about a tenth of a second for a fraction of a cent. Here’s what that’s good for, what independent tests found, and why “can’t hallucinate” doesn’t mean “can’t be wrong”.

Prompt caching in plain English: make AI cheaper and faster by changing the order of your prompt

October 14, 2026 By Saif Hussein Leave a comment AI / Claude

Claude can now turn your data into a dashboard and your idea into a short animated video. Here's where to find both in the Claude app, how to upload a CSV for a quick dashboard snapshot, and how to plug in a connector for one that stays up to date.
