I just joined DEV to explore the community and get into the habit of writing about what I'm learning. I also set up a blog on Hashnode — figuring out how the two fit together. Here's a quick code block to test formatting: ​ function greet ( name ) { console . log ( `Hello, ${ name } !` ); } greet ( " DEV " ); ​ ``` More to come as I find my way around 👋

Since the early days of GenAI, when ChatGPT launched in late 2022, we began using prompt engineering to direct chatbots (and later LLMs) with human language instructions to provide us answers to questions or take actions (in a high-level…) In 2025, companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic began releasing a new agentic concept called “AI Agent”, an autonomous system that uses an AI model as its "brain" to perceive an environment, make independent decisions, and execute multi-step tasks using digital tools. Unlike passive chatbots that just answer questions, an agent can plan its own workflow, run commands, and browse the web to achieve a specific goal without constant human supervision. In this blog post, I will explain the concept of Context-as-Code and share some coding examples. Introducing Context-as-Code Traditional prompting is a one-way street. You type out your instructions, send them off, and that text never changes. AI agents operate completely differently. Because they work on their own, every action they take creates a mountain of new data. Every time an agent opens a file, checks an error, or runs a tool, it adds more information to the pile, which quickly overwhelms a standard chat screen. Context-as-Code treats the agent like a stateless compute engine. Instead of a massive text prompt, we use version-controlled files ( CLAUDE.md , AGENTS.md ) to establish structural boundaries, separating the permanent project rules from the temporary, dynamic session memory. Context-as-Code transforms loose AI prompts into version-controlled engineering assets by using structured Markdown files to establish permanent, auditable boundaries directly within a project repository. The Discovery Stage (Onboarding the Agent) Before an agent writes a single line of code, it must parse the overall project layout. These files act as the "map" for an incoming AI. llms.txt Serves as a lightweight text directory mapped out in Markdown format. Placed at the root of a project or webs

I Built My First Token on Solana — Here's What Actually Surprised Me This week I went from zero tokens to minting, transferring, charging fees, and locking tokens so they can never move. Here's what stuck with me. Tokens don't live in your wallet Coming from Web2, I assumed tokens would just... show up in your account. Nope. On Solana, every wallet needs a separate token account for each token it holds. One mint, one folder. It felt weird at first. Now it makes sense. You can charge fees without writing a single backend The Token Extensions Program has a built-in transfer fee. One flag at mint creation time: spl-token create-token \ --program-id TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb \ --transfer-fee-basis-points 100 That's a 1% fee on every transfer, enforced by the blockchain. No middleware. No payment processor. No way to bypass it. You can make a token that literally cannot be transferred spl-token create-token \ --program-id TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb \ --enable-non-transferable I minted 10, tried to send 5, and watched the transaction get rejected. Not by my code — by the program itself. Perfect for credentials, badges, or certificates that should belong to one person forever. The biggest shift from Web2: these rules are set at creation and are permanent. You can't add a transfer fee to an existing token. You can't make a transferable token non-transferable later. It forces you to think about token design upfront, which is honestly a good constraint. solana #blockchain #webdev #beginners #100DaysOfSolana

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday creating a "voluntary framework" for AI companies to share their frontier models with the federal government before they're released "to promote secure innovation and strengthen the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure." The order says the US AI industry has succeeded in part "because we refuse to stifle this […]

Microsoft announced a bunch of new in-house AI models at Build 2026, including a new "flagship" model: MAI-Thinking-1. It's an ambitious step into model development for Microsoft, which introduced its initial in-house models last year - before then, it had relied on OpenAI's models. The two companies recently renegotiated their deal to loosen ties. According […]

A glass screen protector is one of a few essential accessories that I strongly recommend to every Switch 2 owner. In fact, it should be a priority to stick one onto the console’s screen as soon as possible to avoid accidental scratches. To test the candidates below, I installed and removed Switch 2 screen protectors […]
