From Code to Clarity: Making Complex Technology Accessible
Charm_ released Crush, an open-source, multi-model Claude Code alternative.
It's the first AI coding tool I know that comes with an honest warning message.

Found this in my parent's attic: An electronic pocket game from 1982!
IIRC, I received it as a bonus for subscribing to a magazine. The manual claims the game runs for three months on two LR44 (LR1154) button cells if played for 60 minutes every day. You bet I ordered a pack of cells in an instant!

DeepSeek DOES tell you about Tiananmen Square... if you ask it to act as a neutral historian.

ORM or plain SQL?
Er, no.
The question isn't: "ORM or plain SQL?"
The question is: Do you know SQL well enough to use an ORM?
If you don't want to be at the ORM's mercy, learn the fundamentals of relational data and SQL.
Then you can enjoy the freedom of choice.
Er, no.

Always be clear about the difference between "complex" and "complicated".
A complicated system has many moving parts but orderly and structured.
A complex system has many moving parts without any order or structure.
Treat complex systems merely as complicated at your own peril.

The Rule of Modularity: Write simple parts connected by clean interfaces.
(From "The Art of UNIX Programming.")
Like Go's package philosophy: expose a few top-level functions, maybe one or more types with additional methods.
No pointless abstractions of abstractions. Only clean APIs.

Most programming languages suffer from feature bloat.
New functionality gets slapped onto the language every other day. Complex behavior sneaks in behind the mask of innocent-looking annotations and decorations.
Three years old code looks like written in another language. How bad must the orig
