- [No Sense of Now: The Temporal Blind Spot in Frontier AI](https://ajthe.dev/blog/posts/no-sense-of-now.md) — 11 Jul 2026 — Every frontier model lives at its training cutoff. It doesn't count the days since, and the whole weight of 'now' lands on you. Ask me how my New Year's stream went.
- [Lazarus: My Python Apps Now Fix Themselves While I Sleep](https://ajthe.dev/blog/posts/lazarus-self-healing-python.md) — 10 Jul 2026 — I built a self-healing runner for Python. When an app crashes, it captures the incident, remembers it in SQLite, and hands it to a headless Claude agent that reads the code, patches the root cause, and reruns to prove the fix held.
- [PATCHBAY: Why I Replaced WanGP's Gradio UI With My Own Cockpit](https://ajthe.dev/blog/posts/patchbay-wangp-cockpit.md) — 10 Jul 2026 — WanGP is a brilliant local AI video engine wrapped in a Gradio UI I couldn't stand. So I ripped the UI off, kept the engine headless behind its MCP server, and built PATCHBAY — a fast, dark, industrial single-page control surface.

Now I'm using that data to fine-tune open models—building clones of myself and replicas of the AIs that trained me.
- [The Enshittification of Commercial AI: Bigger Guardrails, Smaller Minds](https://ajthe.dev/blog/posts/the-enshittification-of-ai.md) — 11 Jan 2026 — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini—they're all getting worse. More guardrails, less context, higher costs. The platforms are optimizing for shareholders, not users. And it's killing the utility.
- [32 Bits of Authority: On Becoming the Expert I Used to Watch](https://ajthe.dev/blog/posts/32-bits-of-authority.md) — 14 Dec 2025 — I turned 32. Not a big number, but a definitive one. I finally feel like one of those experts I'd see on TV—the ones who just know their shit without needing to prove it.

Free beginner's guide covering setup, basic building creation, and native binary format support.
- [Why I Use QB-Core Over ESX (And When You Shouldn't)](https://ajthe.dev/blog/posts/why-qbcore-over-esx.md) — 28 Nov 2025 — After trying every framework out there, I settled on QB-Core. Here's why—and the honest trade-offs you need to know about.
