OpenAI quietly trimmed the default input context window for GPT-5.6 inside its Codex CLI, dropping it from 372,000 tokens to 272,000 tokens. That’s a 27% cut, and developers noticed fast.The change surfaced in a GitHub pull request to the Codex CLI, and within days, developers on Reddit and X were asking why OpenAI shrunk the window without much explanation. Some argued the smaller context would force Codex into compaction mode sooner during long coding sessions, meaning the agent would summarize or drop earlier conversation history to make room for new work. Others weren’t sure the change would matter much, since…
Late one night, I typed a name into a machine. Someone I miss. Someone who is not here to type back anymore. I asked it to write a few lines the way that person used to write them, and it did. It caught the rhythm. It caught the small jokes, the little turns of phrase I thought only I remembered. For about four seconds my chest went warm. Then it went cold, all at once, because I remembered the truth that gave my book its name. AI: Nobody’s in There. The words were perfect. The person was still gone. That was…
Let’s kick things off by building practical UI components with Livewire and AlpineJS. We’ll focus on how…

What does it take to secure AI agents without slowing developers down? A recent panel explored the answer I recently joined Zach Lloyd, founder and CEO of Warp; Gavriel Cohen, co-founder and CEO of NanoCo and creator of NanoClaw; and moderator Moriah Hara, founder of a community of more than 3,000 CISOs and a three-time Fortune 500 CISO, for a discussion on one of the biggest challenges facing enterprise security teams today: how to safely unlock the productivity of agentic AI. The rapid rise of agentic AI in the enterprise is putting CISOs in a tough spot. On one hand,…
I’m sure many of you are using AI regularly, perhaps chatting, perhaps using some sort of agent. I’m doing the same, but in this case, I had it tackle an issue that’s been inconsistent for me with the Data API Builder and it solved it. Something I’ve struggled to do with docs and Google.This is part of a series of experiments with AI systems.The ScenarioI’ve been doing some work with the Data API Builder, letting it provide me access to data through REST and GraphQL. Lately, it added MCP as well, and I’ve been updating a talk as well as…
Finally, we’ll turn a static board into a useful little Kanban with Livewire’s wire:sort features. Once drag…
You do not need a software engineering job on your résumé before taking on freelance Python work. You need proof that you can take a small, messy problem and return something reliable. That distinction saves beginners a lot of wasted time. Clients rarely care how many tutorials you completed. They care whether the sales report arrives on Friday, the API stops returning errors, or the data finally lands in the correct spreadsheet. Your first assignment will probably be ordinary. Good. Ordinary problems are easier to define, price, and finish. What do clients pay Python freelancers to do Python freelance work…
A developer pulls a package from a reliable repo. It is signed, has provenance, and has been scanned. And then…it contains malware.That is no longer hypothetical. When the Miasma worm tore through the @redhat-cloud-services npm namespace in June, its malicious releases carried real SLSA provenance, because they were built in Red Hat’s own GitHub Actions workflows and published with legitimate OIDC tokens minted for those runs. To a registry scanner, the poisoned versions were indistinguishable from a routine update.The closest analogy is a deepfake. On a video call, a synthetic face can pass at first glance, and you only catch…
