How to de clutter You code ( and life)
How to de clutter You code ? Remember the quote “It`s not You , it is me?”. Start with an uncomfortable truth. It is Your mess created by you. Every developer knows this moment. You open a file and wonder who wrote it. Then Git blames shows the true colors. The problem is not just messy code. The problem is how easily clutter sneaks in, in life, in general, everywhere. Why code (and Life) gets cluttered Code rarely becomes chaotic overnight. It grows like a blob ( remember GhostBusters ? ), one “quick fix,” one “temporary solution,” one “I might need this later” at a time. Life follows the same…

MarkItDown: convert 20+ file types to markdown for AI & LLM Ingestion
MarkItDown can convert different file types into AI / LLmeme friendly markdowns. Tool by Microsoft (microslop? to be less sloppy ? 😉 ). Library provides multiple converters for various files like PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, presentations and so on into a clean Markdown format. Aim is to make messy documents readable and structured so the input provided will be of higher quality. MarkItDown is a LLM powered library Traditional converters often fail on complex or scanned documents due to rigid rules and have problems handling edge cases that, simply, weren`t taken into consideration. MarkItDown uses machine learning for semantic parsing (hallucinations ? ) therefore achieving higher accuracy (that is of…

Dealing with github copilot errors
Dealing with github copilot errors is pretty irritating. Especially when dosing some more complex stuff and suddenly “Bam”. Red message. Easiest thing to do ? Switching the model family often works because some models have different capacity pools or stricter preview limits. GitHub documents vaguely that if you are rate limited, you can wait and try again. Just type “continue” and keep your fingers crossed. Otherwise check usage patterns, change the model, or contact support. Common github copilot errors Some run of the mill You probably know already, just put them together as a ‘review’ : Why changing the model helps ? Changing from one model family (vendor) to another…

Markmap vs Mermaid for Spec-Driven Development (SDD)
Markmap vs Mermaid for Spec-Driven Development You will consider sooner or later. When You have to go “full on AI” documentation stops being a nice-to-have and becomes a must be part of the product. We need to convey a lot of information, with hopefully as little text as possible so we can easily read it and digest the information. Two popular options for Markdown documentation features are Markmap and Mermaid. They solve different problems, and the best choice depends on whether you want fast idea mapping or more structured diagrams for flows. When to use Markmap Markmap turns Markdown headings and bullet points into an interactive mind map. Useful for…

Jevons paradox in AI workplace
Jevons paradox in AI workplace Jevons paradox in AI workplace is introduced at work with a simple promise: do more in less time. In practice, the result are messy and stack the work. Jevons paradox is the idea that when something becomes more efficient, people and organizations often end up using more of it. In the AI workplace that can mean faster tools, automated work that do not always reduce workload. They can also expand expectations, volume, and ambition to utilize the improved (AIed ?) processes. Be aware At first glance, this sounds contradictory and just wrong. If a team can draft emails, summarize meetings, and generate reports in minutes,…

Protect your work with poison ? Is there no other way around. Robots.txt ? Nobody cares. Copyrights ? LOL. Fair use policy ? As long as i don`t get caught. Protect your work with poison is the oldest trick in the book, especially by plants. Most of them have to be cooked, to be eaten and digested with benefit for us. Why not doing it with our work ?I am thinking about healthy amount of protecting our work. Does it mean anyone making a rembrandt style photo should pay the author of that style ? For 70 years ? How much and how long ? Why money at all ?…

Statics VS AI code analysis ~13 tools
Statics VS AI code analysis works best using the pros from both words. Go hybrid ! Static tools understand the syntext, hardcoded parameters and are very strict. On the other hand AI understands context, can figure out business logic, adapt the codebase. Logic flaws or performance bottlenecks rule-based scanners might miss, AI will put more effort into that. Static analysis limits Static tools scan for syntax errors, style violations, and basic security patterns using fixed rules. Always consistenst, very fast but might generate false positives, ignore business logic, and require manual rule overrides. How often did You use @typescript-error 🙂 Do You code for the linter to pass, logic to…
