Hands-on with Zed: the fastest AI editor of 2026

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0530

I spent a week forcing Zed to replace VS Code and Cursor on a live Laravel + React codebase — not a toy project — and I want to report back honestly. The short version: the performance advantage is real and it does change how you work, but this is not a drop-in swap for everyone yet.

Why Zed is architecturally different from every other AI editor

Every other editor you are likely using — VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf — runs on Electron. That means a Chromium browser instance lives underneath your text cursor. Every keystroke, every scroll, every syntax highlight travels through a JavaScript event loop, gets serialised into the Chromium rendering pipeline, and is then composited on screen. This is why these editors feel the way they feel.

Gemini 3.5 Flash as a cheap backend for coding agents

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0530

I do not reach for a frontier model for every agent task anymore. Most of what a coding agent does in a day — rename things across files, write the obvious test, trace where a bug starts — is grunt work, and paying Opus-tier prices for grunt work adds up fast. So when Gemini 3.5 Flash went generally available at Google I/O 2026, I wired it in as the backend for my agent loop and ran the same real tasks I’d normally hand to Claude. This post is the cost-per-task math and an honest read on where Flash holds up.

GitHub Copilot usage-based billing: what agents cost now

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0530

GitHub Copilot’s usage-based billing went live on June 1, 2026, retiring flat Premium Request Units in favour of AI Credits — token-metered billing where 1 credit = $0.01 USD. If you’re running Copilot coding agents in production, not just inline completions, this change hits differently. I’ve been running a Copilot agent that turns Jira tickets into pull requests on a large legacy PHP codebase — so I spent the first few weeks of June watching the meter instead of the output.

I moved from Cursor to OpenCode: what actually changed

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0530

For two years my coding agent was whatever Cursor shipped. Then I moved my daily work — a large legacy PHP 8.x codebase — onto OpenCode, the open-source, model-agnostic coding agent that crossed 160K GitHub stars and 7.5M monthly active users by mid-2026. This is the honest account of what changed, what didn’t, and what I had to set up before I trusted an open-source agent with my repo.

If you already juggle Claude, Codex, and a local model or two, the headline matters more than any feature list: OpenCode is not wired to one vendor.

MiniMax M3: the open-weight frontier AI challenger

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0530

If you’ve been treating open-weight models as the budget tier you settle for, MiniMax M3 is worth a second look. Released June 1, 2026, it’s the first open-weight model to combine frontier-level coding, a 1-million-token context window, and native multimodal input in a single system — and the benchmark numbers genuinely hold up against the closed frontier. This post breaks down who MiniMax is, what M3 actually does, how it stacks up against Claude, GPT and Gemini, and where the catches are.

Hands-on with Claude Fable 5: Anthropic's Mythos model

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Anthropic shipped Claude Fable 5 on June 9, and I’ve spent the days since pointing it at real code instead of reading the launch posts. Fable 5 is the company’s most powerful generally available model — a new tier that sits above Opus — and it’s the first public Claude Fable 5 release of what Anthropic calls a Mythos-class model. This is my hands-on account of what it actually does differently, the API quirks you’ll hit on day one, and whether the price is worth it.

Multi-agent orchestration with Claude parallel subagents

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Coordinating multiple AI agents that work in parallel is one of the most powerful patterns you can apply to complex, multi-step problems. Claude Managed Agents gives you a first-class way to do this: a lead orchestrator delegates tasks to specialist subagents, each with their own tools and model, all running concurrently. This guide walks through the architecture, real implementation patterns, and how to monitor everything in the Claude Console.

If you’re new to the Claude API, start with getting started with the Claude API in Python before diving in here.

Claude Managed Agents and MCP in production

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Running Claude agents in a demo is straightforward. Running them reliably under production load — with cost controls, secure sandboxes, private network access, and real monitoring — is a different problem entirely. This guide walks you through deploying Claude Managed Agents backed by MCP connectors in a production environment, covering the patterns that actually hold up at scale.

If you’re new to the orchestration model, start with the Claude Managed Agents multi-agent orchestration guide before continuing here.

I built a Copilot agent that turns Jira tickets into PRs

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Pointing an AI coding agent at a legacy PHP codebase with no guardrails is how you get a 3 AM incident. This post walks through exactly what I built — a GitHub Copilot coding agent that reads a Jira ticket, proposes a fix, waits for my sign-off, and only then opens a PR and eventually deploys to QA. Two human checkpoints. Zero surprises.

The codebase context: PHP 5.6 to 8.x migration

The application this runs against is large — hundreds of thousands of lines, born in the PHP 5.6 era, recently migrated to PHP 8.2. That migration introduced a long tail of subtle breakages: dynamic properties now emit deprecation notices, str_contains exists where we used to hand-roll it, and nullable type declarations are scattered inconsistently. Jira tracks every reported regression as a ticket. Before this agent, a developer would read the ticket, grep through the codebase, make a fix, push a branch, and open a PR manually. Repetitive, slow, and easy to skip steps under deadline pressure.

Automating DevOps tasks with Claude Code Routines

Thu, 28 May 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Recurring DevOps work — dependency updates, stale test suites, incremental refactoring — eats hours every sprint without adding direct business value. Claude Code Routines, launched in May 2026, give you a structured way to hand that work to an AI agent that runs on a schedule, reacts to GitHub events, or fires on an API call. This guide walks you through setting up Routines from scratch, with real examples you can drop into your own projects.

Automated AI code review in GitHub pull requests

Mon, 25 May 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Manual code review is a bottleneck — especially on small teams where the same person writes and reviews code. This guide walks you through building a GitHub Actions workflow that sends pull request diffs to Claude, gets back structured line-level findings as JSON, and posts them as inline review comments directly on the PR. No third-party services, no subscriptions — just the GitHub API and Claude API wired together.

How the full pipeline works

The flow has four stages:

Claude Managed Agents: multi-agent orchestration guide

Mon, 25 May 2026 09:00:00 +0530

Coordinating multiple AI agents on a shared task used to mean writing a lot of glue code and babysitting prompt chains manually. Claude’s Managed Agents feature changes that — it gives you a structured orchestration layer where a lead agent can spawn, delegate to, and coordinate specialized subagents, then use a process called dreaming to improve its own memory between runs. This guide walks you through exactly how to set that up with a real-world example: a codebase review system with backend, frontend, and security subagents running in parallel.

Running parallel coding agents with Cursor 3 and Claude

Tue, 19 May 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Managing multiple coding tasks in sequence is slow. Cursor 3 solves this with its Agents Window — a dedicated interface for spinning up parallel Claude agents that each work on isolated Git worktrees simultaneously. One agent refactors your API layer while another rewrites the test suite. Neither knows the other exists, and you don’t get merge conflicts.

This post walks through setting up that workflow from scratch: configuring Background Agents, triggering Cloud Agents from external tools like Slack and GitHub, and keeping everything visible in a single monitoring panel.

Reliable structured JSON output from OpenAI in Python

Sat, 16 May 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Getting raw text back from an LLM and then hoping a regex holds it together is a bad strategy. OpenAI’s structured outputs feature lets you enforce a strict JSON schema at the API level — the model is constrained to respond only in the shape you define. This guide shows you how to wire that up with Pydantic v2 in Python, handle real-world edge cases, and know when you need something more.

Build an LLM-powered REST API with FastAPI

Wed, 13 May 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Most LLM wrappers people ship are glorified requests.post() calls with no error handling, no rate limiting, and logs full of user prompts. This post walks you through building a proper production-grade FastAPI service that wraps Claude or OpenAI — with Pydantic v2 models, async SSE streaming, per-key rate limiting, exponential backoff retries, safe logging, and OpenTelemetry tracing you can actually use to debug latency.

If you’re new to working with Claude’s API directly, start with Getting Started with Claude API in Python before continuing here.

Claude Tool Use: A Practical Guide to Function Calling

Sun, 10 May 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Claude’s tool use feature lets the model call external functions — databases, APIs, file systems — and incorporate real-time results into responses. Instead of generating static text, Claude can now take actions.

If you’ve already set up the Claude API in Python, this guide will show you how to define tools, handle execution loops, and build a practical database query example.

How Claude Tool Use Actually Works

When you send a message with tools defined, Claude can respond in two ways:

Prompt Engineering Fundamentals Every Developer Should Know

Thu, 07 May 2026 10:00:00 +0530

You’re integrating an LLM into your application, and the outputs are inconsistent. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes garbage. The difference isn’t the model — it’s how you’re prompting it. Prompt engineering fundamentals separate developers who get reliable AI outputs from those fighting unpredictable responses.

This isn’t about finding magic phrases. It’s about understanding how LLMs process instructions and structuring your prompts accordingly.

System Prompts: Setting the Operating Context

The system prompt defines who the AI is and how it should behave. Think of it as the configuration layer that runs before every user interaction.

How I Built a Shared AI Engineering Workflow with Multiple Tools

Mon, 04 May 2026 10:00:00 +0530

After months of wrestling with token limits, context windows, and model switching mid-project, I finally built a workflow that lets me use Claude, Codex, and local LLMs together without losing engineering continuity. Here’s how it works on a large Laravel application I’m calling MomentumX.

The Problem with Single-AI Workflows

The initial setup was simple: use Claude for everything. That worked until it didn’t.

Token limits meant I couldn’t feed the entire codebase context in one session. Long conversations degraded in quality as Claude forgot earlier decisions. Switching to a different model for cost reasons meant starting explanations from scratch. And when I needed offline access or privacy-sensitive analysis, I had no fallback.

Build Custom MCP Servers for Local Development Workflows

Fri, 01 May 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Claude Desktop becomes significantly more useful when it can access your actual project context—your database schema, config files, and Git history. Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers make this possible by exposing local resources to Claude in a structured way.

In this guide, you’ll build a custom MCP server in Python that connects Claude Desktop to your PostgreSQL database, project files, and Git repository. By the end, Claude will understand your specific codebase instead of giving generic answers.

Build a RAG pipeline from scratch in Python without LangChain

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Most RAG tutorials dump you into LangChain abstractions before you understand what’s actually happening. That’s backwards. If you want to build a RAG pipeline in Python that you can debug, optimize, and extend, you need to understand each component. This guide walks through the entire process — chunking, embedding, storing, retrieving, and generating — using only basic libraries.

What you’re building

A Retrieval Augmented Generation system that:

Splits documents into chunks
Converts chunks to vector embeddings via OpenAI
Stores vectors in ChromaDB (a local vector database)
Retrieves relevant chunks based on a query
Passes context + query to Claude for a grounded answer

Here’s the folder structure:

How to Run Llama 3 Locally with Ollama

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Running large language models locally gives you complete privacy, zero API costs, and the freedom to experiment without rate limits. If you want to run Llama 3 locally with Ollama, you can have a working setup in under 10 minutes.

Ollama wraps the complexity of model management into a simple CLI tool. You pull models like Docker images, run them from the terminal, and optionally expose them as a local REST API. This guide walks you through the entire process — from installation to calling Llama 3 from your Python or PHP code.

How to Set Up Cursor Rules for Consistent AI-Assisted Coding

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0530

If you’re using Cursor IDE without a .cursorrules file, you’re leaving half its power on the table. Cursor rules let you define project-specific instructions that shape how the AI understands your codebase, follows your conventions, and generates code that actually fits your style.

I’ve been using Cursor across Laravel backends, React frontends, and Python scripts. The difference between a generic AI assistant and one tuned to your project is night and day. Here’s how to set it up properly.

Build your first AI agent with Python and Claude

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0530

An AI agent is more than a chatbot — it’s a system that can reason, use tools, and complete tasks across multiple steps without constant hand-holding. If you’ve been wanting to build your first AI agent with Python and Claude, this guide walks you through creating a functional web research agent from scratch.

By the end, you’ll have a working agent that can search the web, extract information, and synthesize findings — all through an agentic loop you control.

Getting Started with Claude API in Python: A Practical Guide

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0530

If you’re building AI-powered features into your Python applications, the Claude API offers one of the most capable language models available today. In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up the Anthropic Python SDK, send your first message, work with system prompts, and build multi-turn conversations.

Installing the Anthropic Python SDK

First, grab your API key from the Anthropic Console. Then install the SDK:

pip install anthropic

Set your API key as an environment variable (never hardcode it):

How I automated my entire blog with Claude API and GitHub Actions

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0530

Three months ago, I published my last manually written blog post. Since then, my blog has been running on autopilot — Claude API generates posts from a topic pool, GitHub Actions orchestrates everything, and the content flows through Hugo to AWS S3 without me touching a single file. Here’s exactly how I built this system for imyuvii.com.

The architecture I landed on

The full pipeline looks like this: a topics.json file holds my content queue, a Node.js script calls Claude API to generate a post, Hugo builds the static site, AWS S3 hosts it, CloudFront serves it globally, and another script posts to LinkedIn. GitHub Actions ties it all together on a cron schedule.

Git Basics: A Beginner's Guide to Version Control and Collaboration

Thu, 24 Nov 2022 13:56:12 -0500

Version control is a crucial aspect of software development, enabling teams to collaborate, track changes, and manage code effectively. One of the most widely used version control systems is Git. Whether you’re a beginner or just getting started with Git, this guide will provide you with a solid foundation in Git basics and help you understand the key concepts of version control and collaboration.

What is Version Control?

Version control is a system that tracks and manages changes to files over time. It allows developers to keep a complete history of modifications made to a project, including who made the changes, when they were made, and what changes were made. Here are some key aspects of version control:

Watch a directory for creation of new files and notify on slack

Wed, 29 May 2019 13:27:11 +0530

How did I came up with this? simply because, I needed to inform marketing team whenever there is a new csv uploaded. So initially we used to watch directory on daily bases whether new CSV uploaded. That was super boring so I thought to automate this process.

I found out that inotify can help me to achieve this.

So, let’s do it.

Install inotify

This library provides a thin layer on top of the basic inotify interface. The primary use is to easily set up watches on files, potentially many files at once, and read events without having to deal with low-level I/O. There are also several utility functions for inotify-related string formatting.

Hosting a static website with HTTPS on S3 Bucket

Thu, 23 May 2019 18:22:01 +0530

Today, I’ll host a static website with https on S3, I’ll use http://imyuvii.com as an example. Before starting you will need an AWS account and your DNS added in route53.

So Why to use S3 and why not EC2?

It’ll be cheaper because you’re not paying for an always running instance and EBS volumes.
You don’t have to worry about stability and patching of your container.
You don’t have to worry about web servers.

There are not really significant benefits to using ECS over S3 for static websites - you’d really use it when you have dynamically generated content.

Execute Shell commands via PHP

Mon, 20 Nov 2017 13:56:12 -0500

Not everyone aware about PHP‘s capabilities of making SSH connections and executing remote commands, but it can be very handy. I’ve been using it a lot in PHP CLI applications that I run from cronjobs, but initially it was a pain to get it to work. The PHP manual on Secure Shell2 Functions is not very practical or methodical for that matter, so I would like to share my understandings on how to make setting this up in less time.

How to get first job on Freelancer.com

Mon, 07 Aug 2017 13:56:12 -0500

Getting first job is difficult task for any newbie freelancer. After paying huge membership fees and bidding on 30-50 jobs they hardly get any response from client.

Actually 80% clients never give any chance to any newbie freelancer. So how you can get your first job?

Let analyse what are reasons behind

Incomplete profile All talent marketplaces like freelancer , upwork etc insist to complete the profile , Profile information is necessary .
Add experience details in profile , Where ever you worked , when you worked , what was your job profile . Mention it in profile page.
Add portfolio , All marketplaces requires portfolio . Add screenshots of websites , apps , banners , icons , graphics created by you.
Add educational Information with highest educational qualification details
Add a tag-line . Most of the freelancing websites like freelancer , upwork ,peopleperhour ask for a tagline , which is brief description of your profile and your skills.
Add a nice pic of your. Adding pic enhances your profile , It also aid in probability to get hired by any employer. Adding your own pic will proof your uniqueness in freelancing marketplaces.
Add a hourly rate on your profile. Best hourly rate for any wordpress developer is $15 -$35 per hour.
After completing the profile , The next step is bidding , I have created many videos about how to bid on freelancer.

Always write compact , informative and project related proposal . Never provide bulk of links. If client had ask to share the links . share top 5 project related work done by you.

Best contact plugins for WordPress

Fri, 09 Jun 2017 13:56:12 -0500

Contact plugin are very important part of any website. Easy and effective contact plugin help business. I am sharing the list of best contact form plugins, based on my experience building client sites.

My Experience Evaluating These Plugins

I evaluated contact form plugins properly when a client came to me with a specific requirement: they needed a contact form that sent enquiries to two different email addresses depending on which department the user selected, with a file upload field for support tickets.

Website deployment using GIT

Mon, 10 Apr 2017 13:56:12 -0500

Once you’ve put in all the hard work of creating a website, you need to get it on the web so people can navigate to it and access its content. This process is called deployment. Deployment is a fancy word for “getting your website on the web,”. Website deployment isn’t a simple process, mainly because there are so many different ways to do it. In this article I don’t aim to document all possible methods. Rather, I will walk you through one method that will work for now.

SSH Config to the rescue

Sat, 01 Apr 2017 13:56:12 -0500

How often do you need to logged into a remote server? that to using ssh credentials. In my case I have to log in and out dozens of servers daily. And if you’re like me, you have trouble remembering all of the various usernames, remote addresses and command line options for things like specifying a non-standard connection port or forwarding local ports to the remote machine. Hence, I thought to use SSH Config file.

Installing LAMP stack on Ubuntu

Wed, 29 Mar 2017 13:56:12 -0500

LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install LAMP stack (Apache2, PHP and MySQL) on an Ubuntu 16.04 server.

Why I Still Reference This

When I was doing freelance PHP work, spinning up a fresh Ubuntu VPS for a client was something I did every few weeks. Each time I would end up re-Googling the same commands, because the package names and the correct sequence of steps are just different enough across PHP versions that I could never fully commit them to memory.

SCP command to transferring files between servers

Sat, 18 Mar 2017 13:56:12 -0500

In this tutorial, you will learn how to copy files or folders between hosts. The command we will be using is SCP command. SCP (Secure Copy) is a command line tool to copy or transfer files across hosts. It uses the same kind of security mechanism like the ssh program. Infact it uses an ssh connection in the background to perform the file transfer. scp refers both to the “protocol” that defines how secure copy should work and the “program” (command) which is installed as a part of OpenSSH suite of tools.

MySQL Import/Export large databases

Wed, 15 Mar 2017 13:56:12 -0500

When working with MySQL I often use tools like PhpMyAdmin or sequelPro, which is a nice GUI way to manipulate MySQL database. But it won’t work sometime while importing/exporting larger databases. So sometimes you need to do mysql import on the command line.

Export a Large Database

$ mysqldump -u [USERNAME] -p [DBNAME] | gzip > [/path_to_file/DBNAME].sql.gz

MySQL Import a Large Database

# First, unzip the file.
$ gzip -d [/path_to_file/DBNAME].sql.gz

$ [/path_to_mysql/]mysql -u [USERNAME] -p

Wipe out the old database and replace it with the new dump

SHOW DATABASES;
DROP DATABASE [DBNAME];
CREATE DATABASE [DBNAME];
USE [DBNAME];
SOURCE [/path_to_file/DBNAME].sql;

Final Words

Well, that was it! I hope this will help you. of course, you can always have a quick look at this tutorial again if you forget something. Intention of my blog is to provide quick helps to the developers. I generally does not go much into the theories. I believe, the more you practice the more you learn.

How to Install phpMyAdmin on CentOS

Wed, 22 Feb 2017 13:56:12 -0500

My Experience Installing phpMyAdmin on CentOS

I set up phpMyAdmin on CentOS for the first time when I inherited a client’s VPS that had MySQL running but no graphical interface. The client’s team were not comfortable with the command line, so they needed a web UI to do routine tasks like viewing tables, running ad-hoc queries, and importing backups.

The installation itself is two commands, but nobody tells you about the 403 error you will almost certainly hit immediately after. It is caused by Apache’s default phpMyAdmin configuration, which restricts access to localhost only — a perfectly sensible default for a public internet server, but completely opaque if you have never seen it before. I spent an embarrassing amount of time wondering if the installation had silently failed before I found the right config block to edit.

Installing GoDaddy SSL Certificate on Ubuntu

Wed, 22 Feb 2017 13:56:12 -0500

Basically in order to successfully install an SSL certificate you need the following things

CSR file
Private key
Certificate key
Certificate chain

Download Certificates

If your website is hosted through GoDaddy (e.g. the primary domain on a GoDaddy shared hosting account, Website Builder), you don’t need to use these instructions; GoDaddy take care of the SSL installation for you.

On your SSL certificate home page, click Download.
- Not in your SSL control panel? Log in to your GoDaddy account.
- Click SSL Certificates.
- Complete step 1 above.
Select the Server type you want to install the certificate on.
Click Download ZIP file.

Prepare Your Server

The first step to installing your certificate is to prepare your server directories to hold the final keys later on.

How to start, stop and restart apache

Tue, 21 Feb 2017 13:56:12 -0500

Apache is primarily used to serve both static content and dynamic Web pages on the World Wide Web. Many web applications are designed expecting the environment and features that Apache provides. It can be started or restarted using any one of the following methods.

Why I Keep This Reference Around

I have managed Apache on at least three different operating systems over the years — a macOS dev machine, CentOS production servers, and Ubuntu staging boxes. The frustrating thing is that the commands are almost the same but not quite: macOS uses the full /usr/sbin/apachectl path, CentOS uses httpd via /sbin/service or apachectl, and Ubuntu (Debian-based) uses apache2 as the service name.

Display code on your WordPress post

Fri, 27 Jan 2017 13:56:12 -0500

Why I Wrote This

When I first started writing technical blog posts on WordPress, I kept running into a problem that felt embarrassing to admit: my code examples looked terrible. Angle brackets disappeared, PHP tags got stripped, and indentation collapsed into a single line. I was copying code directly from my editor into the WordPress visual editor, which was silently mangling everything.

The root issue is that the WordPress editor treats everything you type as HTML. Angle brackets are parsed as tags, <?php gets swallowed, and any character with special meaning in HTML (<, >, &, ") has to be escaped before you paste it. I did not understand that distinction until I wasted a few hours wondering why my code samples looked fine in the editor but broken on the published post.

Configure virtual hosts on CentOS

Thu, 26 Jan 2017 13:56:12 -0500

About to host websites on linux server? Using Apache? Great. This article will show you how to do exactly that using Apache’s virtual hosts.

My Experience with Virtual Hosts

Early in my freelancing career I was managing five or six client websites, all running on a single $10/month DigitalOcean CentOS VPS. I started by putting each client’s files in a subdirectory of /var/www/html and just using path-based URLs — which worked, barely, but broke every relative asset path and made SSL almost impossible to set up cleanly.
