I find that I'm choosing AI tools based on the quality of the harness rather than the model. For example, I'm using Claude Code Web because its model of remote VMs is extremely convenient. I'm using Perplexity because it's tuned really well for web searches.

Go has an os.Root API that allows you to enforce all paths are subdirectories of a given root. It fixes users accessing foo/../../../etc/passwd and similar. Seems like a really nice solution for a relatively common problem.

nREPL is a really interesting protocol for developer tools. It's extensible, but one of the basic operations is eval(). If your nREPL server doesn't support a given operation, you can just send an eval request to achieve the same result!
