AI for my 10-year-old son
This is a follow-up to Dear Student: Yes, AI is here, you’re screwed unless you take action...Two weeks ago a student anonymously emailed me asking for advice. This is the reply and if I was in your shoes this is what I’d do. So, I read your
From Design doc to code: the Groundhog AI coding assistant (and new Cursor vibecoding meta)
Ello everyone, in the "Yes, Claude Code can decompile itself. Here's the source code" blog post, I teased about a new meta when using Cursor. This post is a follow-up to the post below. You are using Cursor AI incorrectly...I’m hesitant to give this
Can a LLM convert C, to ASM to specs and then to a working Z/80 Speccy tape? Yes.
✨Daniel Joyce used the techniques described in this post to port ls to rust via an objdump. You can see the code here: https://github.com/DanielJoyce/ls-rs. Keen, to see more examples - get in contact if you ship something! Damien Guard nerd sniped me and other folks wanted
Yes, Claude Code can decompile itself. Here's the source code.
These LLMs are shockingly good at deobfuscation, transpilation and structure to structure conversions. I discovered this back around Christmas where I asked an LLM to make me an Haskell audio library by transpiling a rust implementation. An “oh fuck” moment in timeOver the Christmas break I’ve been critically looking

I had my AI "oh f***" moment and I'm a student, now what?
What follows is an email that arrived in my inbox moments ago, reproduced in it's entirety. I'll be doing a response letter, after I get some sleep. For now, discuss at https://x.com/GeoffreyHuntley/status/1888365040572751973 Hi there, So, I read your blog post "

What do I mean by some software devs are "ngmi"?
At "an oh fuck moment in time", I closed off the post with the following quote. N period on from now, software engineers who haven't adopted or started exploring software assistants, are frankly not gonna make it. Engineering organizations right now are split between employees who
The future belongs to people who can just do things
There, I said it. I seriously can't see a path forward where the majority of software engineers are doing artisanal hand-crafted commits by as soon as the end of 2026. If you are a software engineer and were considering taking a gap year/holiday this year it would
Multi Boxing LLMs
Been doing heaps of thinking about how software is made after https://ghuntley.com/oh-fuck and the current design/UX approach by vendors of software assistants. IDEs, since 1983, have been designed around an experience of a single plane of glass. Restricted by what an engineer can see on their
An "oh fuck" moment in time
Over the Christmas break, I’ve been critically looking at my own software development loop, learning a new programming language, and re-learning a language I haven’t used professionally in over seven years. It's now 2025. Software assistants are now a core staple of my day-to-day life as
aussie #vanlife free camping: a guide to working remote and not paying rent
Here I am, sitting at my favourite pub in Melbourne drinking an expensive pint of craft beer and not really caring that much about the cost that much because so far this month because I've spent a grand total of $0 on rent. I'm half a
