Metcalfe's law: a network's value scales with the square of its users. Add a few people, get a lot more connections, and a lot more reasons to stay. https://lawsofsoftwareengineering.com/laws/metcalfes-law/

Pixel art as code. Write a compact .px.js file; get PNGs, sprite sheets, GIFs, and a live viewer that replays the painting as you save. It also critiques your pixels (orphans, jaggies, pillow shading) and doubles as an agent skill. https://github.com/uilianks/pxl

Karpathy's bet: we'll spend more time reading LLM output, so he suggests asking for explanations in ASD-STE100, the controlled language spec used in aerospace docs. Less mush, more signal. Cheap trick, actually useful. https://x.com/karpathy/status/2105819303471976479

App size quietly taxes every download, yet most iOS teams only see one opaque number. Caliper, an open-source Swift CLI, breaks IPAs into per-module reports you can act on. Worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkYdr-JLh7g

Where Do the Bytes Go? Making iOS App Growth Observable at Scale - Jan Rabe | next app devCon 2026

App size is one of the few product metrics that directly affects App Store conversion, yet most iOS teams can only see it as a single opaque number. In this talk, I’ll show how we made app size understandable and actionable in a large-scale iOS codebase. We built Caliper, an open-source Swift CLI tool that analyzes IPA files, LinkMap output, and asset catalogs to break app size down into modules, dependencies, and resources. It turns build artifacts into structured reports that make growth ...

Three values per weight: -1, 0 or +1. That's the trick — Qwen-27B goes 54 GB → 5.9 GB and keeps 98% of its benchmark scores. What it loses, and what it takes to run: https://pub.towardsai.net/someone-shrank-qwen-27b-by-9x-and-it-kept-98-of-its-benchmark-scores-7c540dde7a2e

Someone Shrank Qwen-27B by 9x and It Kept 98% of Its Benchmark Scores

Every weight is now -1, 0 or +1, which takes Qwen 3.8 27B from 54 GB to 5.9 GB. What it keeps, what it loses, and what it takes to run it.
