Hands-on build guides with free AI tools, the latest in AI, and Forward Deployed Engineer playbooks — written for engineers who ship.
A developer rewrote Linux 0.11 in idiomatic Rust, booting it in QEMU. We dissect the architecture, why memory safety in kernel space matters for FDEs, and how to run it today.
George Hotz just dropped a raw, engineer's take on LLMs: love the utility, hate the hype. We break down his post, why it matters for FDEs, and how to build useful things without drinking the AGI Kool-Aid.
A critical Cursor IDE vulnerability exposed how agentic tools can be hijacked. We break down the attack, why it matters for forward-deployed engineers, and how to harden your local dev environment today.
New research shows LLM coding agents don't just react—they plan ahead. We break down the paper's findings on anticipatory reasoning, why it matters for building reliable agentic systems, and how to try it today.
Codex now encrypts sub-agent prompts, closing a critical side-channel. Here's why it matters for agentic architectures, how to test it, and the real-world implications for FDEs building secure systems.
Build a Python pipeline that ingests messy PDF invoices and receipts, extracts text with PyPDF2, and structures it into clean JSON using Google Gemini Flash's free tier. No paid APIs required.
Ship a text-to-SQL agent that translates plain English into Postgres queries using LlamaIndex and Groq's free Llama 3 70B. Step-by-step code, zero-cost infra, and production tips.
Wire up a fully local, zero-cost voice assistant in your terminal. We'll chain Whisper STT, Ollama (Llama 3), and Piper TTS with Python to build a talking CLI.
Build a script that reads a prospect CSV, scrapes their LinkedIn or website with Firecrawl's free tier, and generates hyper-personalized cold email opening lines using Groq's free Llama 3 70B API.
