new post: how I develop recently using local models. the tooling is now good enough to do agentic workflows and everyone should give them a try! vickiboykis.com/2026/06/15/r...
New post: Tagging my blog with BERTopic and LLMs. I suspect as token costs increase, we'll see more blended traditional ML/LLM systems. And, in general, they work really well! vickiboykis.com/2026/05/18/t...

Recent commentary
Something happens to my brain after agentic coding that I can’t describe. It’s like cognitive offloading which folks have already written about, but even more. It feels like I can’t think through problems anymore. Like a fog. Using agentic but losing my hard-won agency.
the actual most revolutionary thing the ai labs have actually done is make it look like it's insanely easy to duct tape together python microservices with all their concurrency issues and trained models with all their transformers issues and have them run as one api call
