A few years back, the Kotlin team figured it was time their programming language had a mascot – something fun and friendly to make developers feel more at home. After all, so many other programming languages have their own characters – Gofer, elePHPant, Dart’s Dash, or Rust’s Ferris, for example. Bringing Kodee to life …

In any recent model comparison, you’ve probably seen a single number from a coding benchmark to represent “How good this model is at coding”. Those scores are tempting: they’re simple, they’re leaderboard-friendly, and they seem to tell a clear story about progress. But that story didn’t hold up when we looked more …

If you’ve ever debugged your own C++ containers, strings, or hash tables on Linux or macOS, you know the deal: to see anything useful in the debugger, you have to write a custom data formatter. And writing a good data formatter is genuinely painful. Often, the formatter ends up longer and harder to follow than […] Link …

A paired A/B benchmark of the token-compression skill Caveman on Claude Code, run on SkillsBench: does it actually save tokens, and does it degrade AI agent output quality? Advertised saving: 65%. Measured saving: 8.5%. Output-token saving on real agentic tasks, with the skill forcibly activated. This is the ceiling, …
