My Mac always runs out of disk space. especially since started to use rust which generate huge artifacts. Using Codex Astra to find what can safely deleted. It is finding a lot of unused files to remove.

I always thought that nodejs npm_modules was huge. oh boy, I was so naive. rust is on a totally different level...

There are so many agent harnesses coming out every week. Reminds me in the 2014s when new frontend frameworks came out every month. But a good news is that switching harness is much easier than switching frontend frameworks. Grateful how all LLMs use more or less the same API structure

How to force yourself to make coding autonomous without you to need review and write code? Work in a language that you don't know such as Rust... and let AI agents take care of it... You only write the specs, test the outputs, but don't read or review the actual code.

The question I hear most often when I show RouteVN to someone is: "How is it different from Ren'Py?" It is very different! So we wrote a full post about it. routevn.com/en/blog/rout...
