Battle Drones - a vibe coded RTS with audio-based multiplayer

My latest vibe coded game experiment is a Command & Conquer style RTS (Real Time Strategy) game called Battle Drones (play it here). Unlike my previous experiments, this one is actually fun to play. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I got there by telling Claude to "Make it a LOT more fun". It also supports multiplayer between nearby devices using audio to synchronize game state! Here's what I've built so far, and some of the things I learned along the way. Battle Drones How I built…

Rust 1.100 Will Add Dependency Cooldowns to Cargo

Rust developers will soon be able to tell Cargo to wait before adopting newly published dependencies. Rust 1.100, scheduled for November 12, will bring stable support for a configurable minimum publish age, letting teams delay dependency updates to give researchers and maintainers time to detect malicious releases before more projects pull them in. The stabilization PR merged on August 28, and Rust’s draft release notes list the feature for 1.100. The setting is available on beta but has not…

My obituary for programming

My obituary for programming Jeremy Scheff poignantly captures the key loss caused by coding agents for career programmers who enjoyed the puzzle of developing code: Programming turned into one of the greatest jobs you could imagine. You got paid to work on tricky little logic puzzles. The trickier the puzzle, the more you got paid. But even pretty simple puzzles were worth a lot of money because regular people just couldn't do it! No, they needed us. They would give us a problem and we would…

AI Changed How We Code. It Hasn’t Changed How We Work Together.

This summer, I built a small experiment called ContextCue. The idea came from something I kept seeing during my internship. The engineers around me were using AI everywhere in the software development process. GitHub Copilot and Claude models helped with specs, code, reviews, and tests. The team also maintained reusable skills that taught coding agents […]

llm-echo 0.5

Release: llm-echo 0.5 I'm working towards a new LLM release, and testing PRs caused me to revisit the llm-echo debug plugin. This plugin provides a "model" which doesn't involve an LLM at all - it just repeats back the prompts that have been fed to it. The new release now updates the simulated token usage counts to take tool calls, system prompts, and reasoning tokens into account. Example usage: uvx --with llm-echo llm -m echo 'hi there' -o thinking 1 --usage Outputs: First I consider the…
