Harvard study, 718 firms: AI agents lifted PRs 23%, but PR review time rose 49% and output gains stayed under 12%. Coding is 30-40% of the job. Speed it up and review becomes the bottleneck. My take: budget reviewer capacity before agent seats. infoq.com/news/2026/10/jelly…

Shipped a free Business Model Canvas generator for Idea Score: 9 blocks, templates, auto-save, PDF/PNG export. The bug I found writing it up: Clear asks first, but the template buttons don't. With auto-save on, one click wipes your canvas. Write-up: medium.com/@eibrahim/i-guard…

Built a free burn rate calculator for Idea Score: expenses, revenue, cash on hand, then gross burn, net burn, and runway. With its sample numbers, the "growth push" preset costs more runway than a sales slump. Write-up: medium.com/@eibrahim/in-my-b…

GitHub's Git writes waited on the slowest healthy replica while holding a repo-wide lock, so one slow replica capped throughput. Fix: scope the quorum to refs. Writes to different branches got 3-4x throughput. My take: lock only what must agree. github.blog/engineering/arch…

If the AI writes the code, what am I? A lot of developers are asking this quietly. I wrote a long answer: why it hurts, how to future-proof your career, and what the next 10 years look like. The job was never typing. It was owning the result. emadibrahim.com/blog/develop…

Built a free event budget planner for PartyHub Rental: set a total, split it across categories, track spending, export to CSV. The most useful part ended up being the grey "Unassigned" slice, not the spending tracker. Write-up: medium.com/@eibrahim/a-party…

Testing a SaaS idea before I build it: SiteProof, inspection checklists and monthly proof-of-service reports for commercial cleaning companies. Early access and a $39 refundable founding preorder: siteproof.hub.elitecoders.ai… Cleaning owners: how do you prove the work to clients?

Cloudflare's AI code reviewer rose from $1.19 to ~$2.46 per review. They cut it to $0.77. One unglamorous fix: a misplaced cache breakpoint meant first requests barely reused the prompt cache. My take: check cache hits before you swap models. blog.cloudflare.com/obsessiv…

Testing controlling my AI swarm from my Apple Watch.

Built a free competitor analysis generator for Pitch An App: rate 2-5 competitors on 6 dimensions and get a comparison table plus a SWOT. The honest lesson: a SWOT from competitor ratings tells you about the market, not about you. Write-up: medium.com/@eibrahim/a-swot-…

Meta's single data-pipeline agent hallucinated once it held too much context. Without hand-tuned prompts it worked 10-20% of the time. The fix: a 1,300-line router doing zero domain work, plus 14 specialist agents. My take: keep the LLM out of routing. engineering.fb.com/2026/10/1…

Built a free coding quiz for kids on Zap Code: 9 questions on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with instant feedback and a per-topic breakdown. The lesson: the explanation after a wrong answer matters more than the score. Write-up: medium.com/@eibrahim/a-kids-…

Netflix found most of a ~4-hour incident investigation went into reconciling tools that call the same thing an app, a service, or a cluster. Their fix: an ontology, not more dashboards. My take: before agents join on-call, give them a type system. netflixtechblog.com/ontology…

Built a free parking spot value estimator for My Curb Spot: rates for 50+ US cities across garage, surface lot, street, and residential parking. The lesson: the useful part isn't the number, it's the comparison. Write-up: medium.com/@eibrahim/the-use…

I built a fully working iOS and android game while I was on vacation at the beach. It’s amazing to see the system I have been building for 3 years is working. siegebloom.com

Security bugs follow call paths, not repo boundaries. A Next.js image request reached libheif through sharp + libvips. Vercel blocked AVIF decoding at the edge while upstream patched. My take: map transitive runtime paths, not only package manifests. vercel.com/blog/reproducing-…

Anthropic Brings Invisible AI Text Watermarks to Claude aiwins.news/story/anthropic-…

Kotor, Montenegro 🇲🇪 what a magical place!!! Beautiful.

AI’s Impact on my software dev Agency = Revenue = 10% less Income = 50% more Clients = 2x The reason is we can charge less and do more with fewer people. Not sure how long that will last or how it will scale in the future.

Great move 👏👏
