Coders End, from Typers to Thinkers

After 10 years in software development, wearing different hats, my approach to building changed in 2025. With AI, I’m finally developing the way I’ve long believed we should. From Typers to Thinkers I’ve genuinely come to believe the real value of my craft lies in architecture: how things are thought out, assembled, structured, and named. I have long considered that the technical part of a project was successful when the code was readable, maintainable, with the right abstractions in the righ

LimeWire (Which Still Exists) Buys Fyre Festival (Which Never Did) on eBay

Mix two internet touchstones together and what do you get? We’re going to find out. LimeWire, the peer-to-peer file-sharing network, announced that it won the rights to the Fyre Festival brand in an auction. The company indicated it has no plans to use the branding for a music festival, but rather bought up the name and likeness mostly for the memes. LimeWire said in a press release that it plans to “unveil a reimagined vision for Fyre — one that expands beyond the digital realm and taps into r

Wimpy vs. McDonald's: The Battle of the Burgers

When the burger landed on the tables of the first Wimpy Bar in 1954, it marked a new era of modernity, global connection, and convenience for a Britain rebuilding from the austerity of the Second World War. But it later found itself at the heart of a cultural war against these same ideals. ‘The McDonalds are coming’, declared the Reading Post in March 1983 as Wimpy’s competitor gained ground on the British high street. ‘It looks like the battle of the burgers is about to erupt.’ As the first mo

Building a Deep Research Agent Using MCP-Agent

Documenting my journey building a general-purpose deep research agent powered by MCP, and sharing the valuable (and sometimes painful) lessons learned along the way. Background My name is Sarmad Qadri and I'm the creator of the open source project, mcp-agent. My philosophy for agent development in 2025 can be summarized as – MCP is all you need.

This Pop-Out Phone Controller Could Reinvent How We Think of Mobile Gaming

Today’s retro recreations are so good at replicating the Game Boy’s look, feel, and portability. The problem is, my pockets are already occupied with my mobile supercomputer that contains my life behind a 6.3-inch pane of glass. If my phone has a powerful processor and excellent AMOLED display, why can’t it also become my gaming device when I’m on the go? MCON, the controller hyped to hell and back by young engineer Josh King and brought to market by phone peripheral makers OhSnap, could be enou

'Robber bees' invade apiarist's shop in attempted honey heist

A Terrace, B.C., beekeeper found herself in a nightmare situation late last month when "thousands and thousands of bees" filled her shop. Call it an attempted robbery — the bees were trying to steal sweet, sweet honey. Christine McDonald, owner of Rushing River Apiaries, said it's the first time desperate "robber bees" — bees that try to take honey from another colony's hive — have descended upon her indoor shop to hunt for food as resources get scarce in the late summer. While she's worked w

DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress Review: Support and Value

I’ve written numerous reviews of the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid mattress over the past six years of my mattress testing career. It was on my short list of favorites then, and its newest iteration, released in May, still is. This is no small feat, especially given the current supply-chain issues, tariffs, and price increases, all of which can affect the materials (and thus, the performance) of a mattress. Plus, I’m like the Simon Cowell of mattress world—a bed has to work really hard to impress me

Thuma Dupes: Japanese Joinery Bed Frames That Stack Up (2025)

I’m a longtime fan of DreamCloud mattresses, so it came as no surprise that the brand’s Japanese joinery bed frame is an excellent product. Just like the mattress, numerous thoughtful details in this frame made it immediately stand out, so much so that I will be keeping it around for long-term testing to try with a larger variety of beds. DreamCloud made the setup of this frame seamlessly idiot-proof (@me). Each piece is labeled, and when it comes time to actually put it all together, take a ga

AMC Hopes Its New Slash Pass Lures Horror Fans Into Theaters

This weekend’s The Conjuring: Last Rites kicks off fall’s slate of horror movies, and AMC Theaters wants to use the occasion to get more butts in seats. Enter, the Slash Pass. Beginning with Last Rites, theatergoers can use the Pass to see six participating horror movies, or do different combinations like seeing one of the specific movies with five of their friends. Horror movies tend to do pretty well financially, something AMC’s senior marketing VP Ellen Copaken highlighted in the press relea

Who Have Marvel’s Avengers Become?

Every mainstream comic book character is defined by their pre- and post-adaptation life. After they’re brought to life in film or TV, the change becomes notable, and nowhere is it more apparent than with the Avengers. They’ve always been a key superhero team, but they were elevated to a higher position thanks to the MCU and Marvel not owning fellow high-profile teams, the X-Men and Fantastic Four, and actively working to downplay them throughout comics and other media. With four movies under th

‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ Promises Vampire Intrigue Galore in New Trailer

Tesla challenges $243 million verdict in Autopilot death trial

Tesla has asked a judge to nix the $243 million verdict lodged against the company in a lawsuit involving its Autopilot system, or to allow a new trial to occur, according to a new court filing. The company’s lawyers argue that the verdict, which a jury made earlier this month, “flies in the face of basic Florida tort law, the Due Process Clause, and common sense.” This latest filing by Tesla lawyers tries, once again, to rest all of the blame on the driver George McGee, who helped cause the cr

Apple to secure nearly half of TSMC’s 2nm production (report)

According to the latest rumors, Apple is slated to use TSMC’s 2nm process for its upcoming A20 chip, expected to power the iPhone 18 series. Now, a new report details the chipmaker’s roadmap for bringing the chip into mass production, and the industry-wide rush to secure an early supply. As reported by DigiTimes, citing supply chain sources, TSMC is set to ramp up its 2nm process in the next quarter, and has been charging up to $30,000 per wafer, a record high. Still, demand has never been high

14-year prison term sought over theft of trade secrets on iPhone 18 chip process [U]

TSMC fired the individuals concerned and is now taking legal action against them. Update: Three of the six have now been indicted, and prosecutors are seeking a 14-year prison sentence for one of them – see the update at the end … The report relates to the company’s 2-nanometer chip process, which is expected to be used for

The McPhee method for writing deeply reported nonfiction

When I first started writing for a real publication, I taught myself “reporting” with a simple self-made curriculum unfolding over six or seven articles. The first two pieces I wrote from my head, with reference to things I already knew or to books I’d read. For the third, I actually got out of the house, but didn’t yet have to play the journalist; I just wrote about taking a flying lesson in a small airplane. The fourth article required more gumption: I decided to shadow a friend of mine for a
