On Thursday morning, I was excited to see the release of Inkling-Small. Last week brought us Laguna-S-2.1 which is a pretty good coding model given that it fits onto a 128GB RAM MacBook Pro. Sadly, La...

My journey to optimise my agentic coding setup has now led me to consider running an LLM locally and removing all permission prompts. Even though I don’t check every action of the agent anymore, I fee...

Everyone agrees that OSS license compliance is critical, yet nobody enjoys the process. It usually involves spreadsheets, long email chains, and "shipping anxiety." We decided to treat (legal) license...

Personally, I was keen to ensure that Python 3.14 availability on conda-forge was as good as possible on the actual release day. conda-forge’s build infrastructure is a massive benefit, and I wanted t...

In the third week of reporting on my conda-forge work, you will see how the large number of contributions happens quickly. As we’re getting closer to the Python 3.14 release, I spent some time bringin...

To continue to give you a glance into my conda-forge work, we’re continuing with the second week of reporting. This week was a bit leaner on my activities here as I spend my time on preparing my PyDat...

With yesterday's release of Python 3.14 (insert release link), we not only have Python 3.14 itself available on conda-forge,

While everyone is talking about the m(e/a)ss of bureaucracy, we want to show you hands-on what you could need to be doing to operate an ML service. We w…

While I spent the majority of my time on QuantCo-internal (often strategic, non-code) work, my GitHub profile still hovers around 8,000 yearly contributions. Part of this is through my internal work, ...
